  abstract = {{W}e report the characterization of fifteen microsatellite markers in {V}espa velutina, an invasive hornet from {A}sia that has been unintentionally introduced in {F}rance before 2005. {I}t is expanding rapidly, covering one third of the {F}rench territory and northern {S}pain, and causes severe losses to honeybee colonies. {A}n enrichment protocol was used to isolate microsatellite loci, and polymorphism was explored in an invasive population from {F}rance and in a population from the native mainland location in {C}hina. {T}hese markers showed a number of alleles per locus and per population ranging from 1 to 11, and expected heterozygosities ranging from 0.151 to 0.891. {T}hese polymorphic markers will be useful to identify the source of the invading population and to discover the invasion pathways.},
