Abstract
Purpose of the research was to determine if Entylia carinata and Publilia concava are two different species. Planned outcomes going into the project was that the two weren't going to be different species. DNA was extracted from a certain amount of treehopper nymphs and adults and PCR were run which ended up being inconclusive Due to the PCR being inconclusive further research will continue. The main reason being different Primers need to be used to get one band instead of multi-banded PCRs when it comes to being run on gels.
