Morphological Variation Within Populations of Darkling Beetles Pimelia carinata Solier, 1836 (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) Inhabiting in Different Regions in Egypt

Abstract

Western Desert, and Western Coastal Desert in the first cluster. while the second cluster comprises of Eastern Desert, El-Faiyum, and Nile Delta. The population of Sinai is present in a separate cluster. The traits showing maximum variability across beetle populations were those associated with morphological estimates.
