Molecular biologist Bob Shatters (left), entomologist Cindy McKenzie, and postdoctoral scientist Laura Boykin (foreground) study genetic polymorphisms in the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) that are used to study the relationships among the B and Q biotypes. Associating these genetic markers with population traits provides a rapid means of tracking the movement of whitefly types.
