[Geographic differentiation of genomic DNA of Chironomus plumosus (Diptera, Chironomidae) in natural holarctic populations].

Using RAPD markers, polymorphism and differentiation of genomic DNA was examined in seven natural populations of Chironomus plumosus from Europe, Siberia, and North America. All these populations showed high polymorphism of genomic DNA. The Palearctic and Nearctic populations of this species were not statistically significantly different in the genomic DNA polymorphism level.
