Population genetic structure of the maize weevil, <i>Sitophilus zeamais</i> , in southern Mexico

2022-02-11

Abstract excerpt

The maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais , is a ubiquitous pest of maize and other cereal crops worldwide and remains a threat to food security in subsistence communities. Few population genetic studies have been conducted on the maize weevil, but those that exist have shown that there is very little genetic differentiation between geographically dispersed populations and that it is likely the species has experienced...
