Anochetus goodmani
|
Intra - no variation. nter - 2 bp from
A. boltoni
, and 3 bp from
O. troglodytes
,
O. coquereli
|
Intra - no variation across north nter -.15 bp divergent from
A. madagascarensis
.
|
Intra - extreme variation (length and substitution) across range. Some corresponding to deep CO1 splits - provisionally orthologous. However, deep paralogous divergences have been sequenced within single individuals through different amplifications and extractions. |
rRNA is, a priori, difficult to differentiate orthologous from paraologous. Not as immediately useful as an independent marker without cloning. |
Anochetus boltoni
|
Intra - no variation. nter - 2 bp from
A. goodmani
, 2 bp from
O. troglodytes
and no difference from
O. coquereli
.
|
N/A |
Intraspecific variation of 1% (indels and substitutions) between the two sampled populations. |
Anochetus madagascarensis
|
N/A |
Intra - no variation. nter -.15 bp divergent from
A. goodmani
.
|
Intra - variation that does NOT reflect CO1 variation. |
rRNA is, a priori, difficult to differentiate orthologous from paraologous. Not as immediately useful as an independent marker without cloning. -Positive Wolbachia test. |
Anochetus grandidieri
|

N/A |
Low iIntraspecific variation that does reflect CO1 geographic variation. |
- Positive Wolbachia test. |

Odontomachus coquereli
|
Intra - no variation. nter - 2 bp from
O. troglodytes
. 2bp from
A. boltoni
,and 3 bp from
A. goodmani
.
|
Intra - variation. Large variation at geographically distal ends of distribution. nter - differentiates between three Malagasy species. |
Intraspecific variation that only partially reflects geography and CO1 variation - while some clearly does not. Paralogous and orthologous |
Odontomachus troglodytes
|
Intra - no variation. nter - 2 bp from
O. coquereli
. 3 bp from
A. boltoni
,and3bp from
A. goodmani
.
|
Intra - some variation that does not correspond to geography or CO1. nter - does not differentiate between
O. simillimus
|
Intraspecific variation that only partially reflects geography and CO1 variation |
All specimens tested positive for Wolbachia. |
Odontomachus simillimus
