Table 2 Primers with their original references used for amplification of the four DNA fragments sequenced in the study. The primer set LCO1490-JJ + HCO2198-JJ was used for COI amplification in four populations (FI. 066, IT. 337, PL. 015, US. 057), whereas LCO1490 + HCOoutout was used for one population (ME.007)
