Population Structure of a Sand Dune-Obligate Beetle, Eusattus muricatus, and Its Implications for Dune Management
Britten HB and Rust RW. 1996. Population Structure of a Sand Dune-Obligate Beetle, Eusattus muricatus, and Its Implications for Dune Management. Conservation Biology. 10(2):647-652
The study organism, Eusattus muricatus, is one of the most common dune-obligate tenebrionid beetles in western North America. Starch-gel electrophoresis was used to elucidate the population structure of E. muricatus on sand dunes in the context of the pluvial history of the Great Basin and Mojave Deserts.
