This research compared the genetic makeup of M. hippocastani to a different cockchafer beetle, the Melolontha melolontha. They demonstrated that both M. hippocastani and M. melolontha show considerable genetic diversity within subpopulations within sampling sites with minor effects of past bottlenecks possibly masked by current population sizes ...
