Key Points

Evaluate levels and patterns of genetic diversity in colonizing populations of parthenogenetic cockroaches.
Assessed genetic variation and clonal structure across colonizing populations of parthenogenetic cockroaches.
Detected genetic variation and multiple clonal lineages within colonizing populations despite asexual reproduction.
Identified population-level genetic structuring reflecting colonization history and dispersal patterns.
