The yellow-spined bamboo locust Ceracris kiangsu Tsai, which is important migratory pest in forestry, is endemic to China. However, its population genetic structure and demography are little known. Here, we used mitochondrial ND2 gene to examine the population genetics and phylogeographical structure of C. kiangsu across its distribution range. To test for hierarchical population genetic structure in C. kiangsu, we performed analyses of molecular variance (AMOVA) in ARLEQUIN; the median-joining network was generated for all haplotypes by using software Network; phylogeny of all haplotypes was reconstructed by using Neighbour-joining (NJ) in MEGA and maximumlikelihood (ML) in PAUP. Our results showed none significant values of the population genetic structure for C. kiangsu. Phylogenetic analyses exhibited some shallow genealogy, which were corresponding to networks of C. kiangsu haplo.. View More»
