The use of Plant Refuges for Aphelinus Mali a Parasitoid of Eriosoma Lanigerum: Effects on the Genetic Structure and Gene Flow

Objetivo general

To compare the performance of the populations of aphids and parasitoids from apple and Pyracantha, on both host plants.

Objetivos específicos

1.- To determine the specifíc status based onmorphological characters of the populations of aphids of the genus Eriosoma that use Malus domestica and Pyracantha cocinea as host plants. 2.- To evaluate the performance of the populations of aphids of the genus Eriosoma that use Malus domestica and Pyracantha cocinea on both host plants. 3.- To evaluate the performance of the populations of the parasitoid A. mali that attacks Eriosoma aphids on Malus domestica and Pyracantha cocinea on both host plant. 4.- To isolate microsatellite markers for A. mali and to determine their level of polymorphism. 5.- To deteniiine the genetic structure and gene flow of the populations of A. mali on Eriosoma aphids from P. coccinea and M. domestica. 6.- To determine the genetic structure and gene flow of the populations of A. mali in apple orchards of Central Chile and compare with the genetic structure of its aphid host.
