The cotton mealybug Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), is a
highly invasive and harmful pest. It causes considerable loss of cotton crops in China, India …

Mealybugs are highly aggressive to a diversity of plants. The waxy layer covering the
outermost part of the integument is an important protective defense of these pests. However …

Simple Summary The fall webworm (Hyphantria cunea Dury) has a strong impact on
agricultural systems in Europe. However, its invasive potential inherited from its native niche …

Invasive species pose increasing threats to global biodiversity and ecosystems. While
previous studies have characterized successful invaders based on ecological traits …

Abstract Matsumurasca onukii (Matsuda, R.(1952). Oyo‐Kontyu Tokyo, 8 (1): 19–21), one of
the dominant pests in major tea production areas in Asia, currently is known to occur in …

Genetic admixture introduces new variants at relatively high frequencies, potentially aiding
rapid responses to environmental changes. Here, we evaluate its role in adaptive variation …

BACKGROUND As an invasive pest from North America, grey squirrels (GSs; Sciurus
carolinensis Gmelin) are displacing native squirrels in Europe. However, the climatic niche …

Rapid evolution may play an important role in the range expansion of invasive species and
modify forecasts of invasion, which are the backbone of land management strategies …

Hypogeococcus pungens is a species complex native to southern South America that is
composed of at least five putative species, each one specialized in the use of different host …

Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) represent an important source of genetic variation that
provides a basis for adaptation to different environments in organisms. In this study, we …
