Genetic diversity, population structure and gene flow in native populations of a proposed biocontrol agent (Cornops aquaticum) [PDF]
Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2008 The semiaquatic grasshopper Cornops aquaticum is native to South America, with a distribution as far south as the Argentinean pampas and as far north as the Gulf of Mexico. This grasshopper is being proposed as a form of biological control agent for the invasive aquatic macrophyte (Eichhornia crassipes) in South Africa. The results of a molecular study
