N2 - Small distance movements are of great importance for the dynamics of local populations of insects and can indirectly be assessed using molecular markers. We isolated six polymorphic microsatellite loci in the aphid species Metopeurum fuscoviride Stroyan, monophagous on the common Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare L.). Twenty-five to 30 aphids from seven populations were analysed. Between three and 17 alleles were found per locus and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.14 to 0.79. In total, 114 multilocus genotypes were found in 192 parthenogenetic aphids analysed, indicating that the resolution will be high enough to study differentiation on a small spatial scale.
