Results |
|
| Wolbachia presence | No |
| Confidence level | High |
| Explanation of confidence level | My confidence level is high. After finishing my project viewers can see that the data controls worked. Not only that, they also lined up with my prediction/local data which states that Wolbachia will not be precent in Dermaptera. |
| Wolbachia 16S sequence | |
| Arthropod COI sequence |
|
| Summary | The Dermaptera was found to be negative for Wolbachia. |
