Nm. Bolotetskii et al., ON THE GENETIC DIVERSITY OF THE EARTHWORM APORRECTODES CALIGINOSA (SAV) (LUMBRICIDAE), Izvestia Akademii nauk SSSR. Seria biologiceskaa, (1), 1996, pp. 112-116
Distribution of allele frequencies for the polymorphic locus of non-sp
ecific esterases of the musculo-cutaneous sac was studied in samples o
f Aporrectodes caliginosa from the Moscow District using electrophores
is in polyacrylamide gel. The populations of these species were shown
to be genetically heterogeneous, even those located in close regions o
f the studied part of the range. No correlation was found between the
allele frequencies for the studied locus and geographical position of
the samples and the ecological conditions of the habitats.
