| Popis: | Otiorhynchus scaber is a common weevil throughout northern Europe. It is tetraploid and parthenogenetic in this area. A total of 75 electrophoretically definable clones have been identified in northern Europe and they all appear to represent a monophyletic lineage. O. scaber is a flightless inhabitant of the climax community, the spruce forest. Rarefaction and similarity index has been used to measure clone diversity and its distribution. Clone diversity is highest in the Southern Boreal and the Middle Boreal zones and decreases towards north and south. The distribution of single clones appears to be associated with the biotic zonation of northern Europe. This implies that different clones are adapted to different environments. |
