Polymorphic nuclear markers for aquatic macroinvertebrates Anisops hackeri, Micronecta gracilis and Necterosoma wollastoni

摘要

In Australia, aquatic macroinvertebrates have faced massive changes to their habitats because of human actions. Here, we have developed nuclear, polymorphic markers for the waterboatmen Micronecta gracilis (Hemiptera), a backswimmer Anisops hackeri (Hemiptera), and a diving beetle Necterosoma wollastoni (Coleoptera). These markers will allow us to study gene flow and genetic diversity in these species in massively altered forested and agricultural landscapes.
