Abstract excerpt
The sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), is a major pest of sugarcane in the Caribbean, yet little is known about the genetic structure of populations in the region. In this study, the genetic diversity and phylogeographic relationships of D. saccharalis in Jamaica, a major island in the Caribbean, were evaluated based on mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI)...
