Individual Reticulitermes flavipes workers were collected from sites in two different ecological regions in the state of Georgia, USA. Individual termite DNA Fingerprints and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence was determined. Molecular data was then analyzed for genetic variation and gene flow. These results are discussed in light of baseline data collected from inbred laboratory colonies and mitochodnrial DNA surveys respectively.
