Results |
|
| Wolbachia presence | No |
| Confidence level | Low |
| Explanation of confidence level | The band that confirmed it was an arthropod wasn’t present, so there can’t be full confidence that the negative Wolbachia result is correct. |
| Wolbachia 16S sequence | |
| Arthropod COI sequence |
|
| Summary | The Coleoptera was found to be negative for Wolbachia. |
