Following invasion, insects can become adapted to conditions experienced in their invasive
range, but there are few studies on the speed of adaptation and its genomic basis. Here, we …

Adaptive evolution following colonization can affect the impact of invasive species. The fall
webworm (FWW) invaded China 40 years ago through a single introduction event involving …

Studies of species that experience environmental heterogeneity across their distributions
have become an important tool for understanding mechanisms of adaptation and predicting …

Invasion biology aims to identify traits and mechanisms that contribute to successful
invasions, while also providing general insights into the mechanisms underlying population …

Climate oscillations in the Quaternary forced species to major latitudinal or altitudinal range
shifts. It has been suggested that adaptation concomitant with range shifts plays key roles in …

The current progress in genetic technologies (methodologies) allows to create crops with the
modified genome to counter different pest species. Genome editing is the most popular and …

Abstract The Colorado Potato Beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say, is the principal
defoliator of potato crops globally. It is well known for its propensity to rapidly develop …
