Deskripsi

This population genomics study identifies the complex multiple introduction history of Spodoptera frugiperda (fall armyworm) from the Americas, into Africa and Asia. This provides new insight into the ‘east-to-west’ directionality of gene flow, and suggests ample genomic exchange at the nuclear level.
