Investigating the Genetic Underpinnings of Ongoing Fall Armyworm (FAW) Range Expansion in Aotearoa New Zealand. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We generated new genomic resources for the invasion front of fall armyworm in Oceania, confirming that the new invasions conform to the population structure initially identified in Benin. We also identified SNVs associated with insecticide resistance that should be a focus of future tracking of the invasion front and established populations.

Managing fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae): Experience from smallholder farmers in central and western Africa

Food and Energy Security, 2023
The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is currently an important pest of maize crops worldwide not only because of its dispersal ability but also because of its polyphagous feeding behaviour.
