FIG 3.

Results of RAPD gel analyses of isolates from two adult females (a and b), with 5 isolates from each of the two sampling events (lanes 1 and 2). In adult female a, colonies were isolated from the same reproductive attempt (at the beginning and at the end of the incubation period), and the similarity among the RAPD profiles from the two sampling events is >95%. In adult female b, samples were taken in two consecutive years (and thus represent different reproductive attempts), and the similarities among the RAPD profiles from the two sampling events are <20%.
