Abstract excerpt
The geographic range of plant pests can be modified by the use of glasshouses. Bemisia tabaci, originating from warm to hot climates, has been shown to be a complex of distinct genetic groups with very limited gene flow. The genetic structure of this pest was studied in glasshouses in southern France, a region beyond the northern limit of its open-field development area in Europe. Seven microsatellite loci were...
