Abstract

An analysis of 28 enzyme loci throughout developmental stages ofSepedon fuscipennis fuscipennis Loew indicated that 16 were polymorphic and 4 were monomorphic in all stages. Nine loci were differentially expressed among the stages: EST-1, EST-2, MDH-2, MDH-3 and PGI-1 occurred only in larvae, AK-3 mainly in pupae, and AK-1, AO and HK-1 only in adults. The average heterozygosity ofS. f. fuscipennis was 0.146 (±0.028) across all stages.

Résumé

L'analyse de 28 loci isoenzymatiques se rapportant aux différents stades de développement deSepedon fuscipennis fuscipennis Loew indique que 16 loci étaient polymorphes et 4 étaient monomorphes à tous les stades. Neuf loci se sont différemment exprimés en fonction du stade considéré: EST-1, EST-2, MDH-2, MDH-3 et PGI-1 ne sont apparus que chez les larves, AK-3 principalement chez les pupes, et AK-1, AO et HK-1 que chez les adultes. L'hétérozygotie moyenne deS. f. fuscipennis, tous stades considérés, est de 0,146 (±0,028).
