Genome-wide developed microsatellites reveal a weak population differentiation in the hoverfly Eupeodes corollae (Diptera: Syrphidae) across China

Mengjia Liu, Xiaoqiang Wang, Ling Ma, Li‐Jun Cao, Hongling Liu, De-Qiang Pu, Shu‐Jun Wei

The paper develops 24 polymorphic microsatellites for the hoverfly Eupeodes corollae and finds weak genetic differentiation across four populations in China, indicating high gene flow.
