Abstract

Thrips are small insects (0.5–3.0 mm) with distinct habits and life histories characterized by haplodiploid sex determination. In general, low levels of genetic diversity have been reported in haplodiploid insects, although most reports focus on the order Hymenoptera. Therefore, we used RAPD markers to evaluate the structure and both inter- and intra-population genetic variability of Gynaikothrips uzeli (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae). Six populations, three from Paraná state, southern Brazil, and three from Bahia, northeastern Brazil, were studied. Similarly to other haplodiploid insects, the genetic diversity of G. uzeli was reduced. This result is putatively related to the haplodiploid sex determination system, which yields little genetic variation, and to ecological traits of the studied species, such as the low dispersal abilities and life mode in leaf galls. All individuals were homogeneously clustered in their respective collection sites, forming two main groups in which populations from similar environments were more closely related. The analyzed populations were highly structured, and the genetic variation was higher among than within populations.
