A potential invasion route of Cactoblastis cactorum within the Caribbean region matches historical hurricane trajectories

2015-05-01

Abstract excerpt

The cactus moth, Cactoblastis cactorum mainly distributed throughout central and northeastern Argentina was intentionally introduced in the Caribbean region in 1957 as a biological control agent of cacti species of the genus Opuntia. This moth invaded during the last 20–30 years the North American continent, threatening the major center of biodiversity of native Opuntia species. Although human induced and natural...
