Summary: This project demonstrated that apterae of the two species from western North America cannot be distinguished by morphological characteristics, however molecular diagnostic techniques based on microsatellite flanking region sequences revealed a number of important traits in the genotype diversity. Also, SA is significantly less susceptible than GAA to imidacloprid.
