Ecological Genetics and Host Range Expansion by Busseola fusca (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae).

Environmental entomology - 1 Aug 2015

Assefa Y, Conlong D E, Van Den Berg J, Martin L A

Abstract excerpt

The host plant range of pests can have important consequences for its evolution, and plays a critical role in the emergence and spread of a new pest outbreak. This study addresses the ecological genetics of the indigenous African maize stem borer, Busseola fusca (Fuller) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), in an attempt to investigate the evolutionary forces that may be involved in the recent host range expansion and...
