Genetic diversification of Aceria species inhabiting Juglans regia in Serbia

Molecular analyses based on mtCOI barcode
\nregion showed clear separation between three
\nAceria species on J. regia. Two of them, A. erinea
\nand A. tristriata were already well-established in
\nSerbia (Petanović & Stanković, 1999). However,
\nthe status of the third species remains unknown,
\nand ongoing taxonomic characterization
\ncombining molecular and morphometric
\nanalyses is underway.
