Evidence for Two Soybean Looper Strains in the United States with Limited Capacity for Cross-Hybridization

Rodney N. Nagoshi et al.

Summary: The soybean looper (Chrysodeixis includens) is a significant soybean pest in the southeastern United States, characterized by a broad host range, long-distance flight ability, and resistance to important pesticides. Population structure analysis revealed the existence of two strains of soybean looper, exhibiting genetic differences and reproductive barriers. These molecular markers will aid in studying the behaviors and mitigating the spread of resistance traits in these populations.

The Spodoptera frugiperda Host Strains: What They Are and Why They Matter for Understanding and Controlling This Global Agricultural Pest

Rodney N. Nagoshi et al.

Summary: The fall armyworm is a major pest of corn and other crops, with different subpopulations that differ in host plant specificity. Identifying the strains present in a location is critical for assessing the risk of infestation in different crops.

Observations of genetic differentiation between the fall armyworm host strains

Rodney N. Nagoshi

Summary: The threat of invasive species is on the rise due to global trade and habitat disruption. This study uses the Triosephosphate isomerase gene (Tpi) as a marker for host choice phenotype and phylogenetic analysis, revealing genetic differentiation between populations and supporting the existence of host strains. Regional variations in host strain behavior are identified through the efficacy of different molecular markers.

Comparisons of fall armyworm haplotypes between the Galapagos Islands and mainland Ecuador indicate limited migration to and between islands

Rodney N. Nagoshi et al.

Summary: The study suggests that mainland fall armyworm likely enters the Galapagos Islands through trade-assisted transport rather than natural migration. The presence of water in the region poses a significant barrier for moth migration, with human-assisted transport playing a more important role.
