摘要
The noctuid moth Zale galbanata is described as feeding on maples (Acer sp.) in general, but its primary food plant is box elder (Acer negundo). We isolated five microsatellite loci to investigate the association of food plant use and the genetic similarity of populations in these moths. These markers are polymorphic to various degrees (5-13 alleles), and are presented here. Our initial tests show that some of these loci also work on other Zale species.
