Comparative molecular analyses of invasive fall armyworm in Togo reveal strong similarities to populations from the eastern United States and the Greater Antilles. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda, J.E. Smith) is a noctuid moth that is a major and ubiquitous agricultural pest in the Western Hemisphere. Infestations have recently been identified in several locations in Africa, indicating its establishment in

Noncanonical Nucleotides in the Genome Around the Maternal‐Zygotic Transition

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
In this paper, Kazzazi et al. provide a comprehensive review of the dynamics of nonconventional nucleotides in the genome during early developmental stages, hypothesizing a potential role for these nucleotides in the activation of the zygotic genome. ABSTRACT From the very moment of fertilization and throughout development, the cells of animal embryos ...

A fractional-order fall armyworm-maize biomass model with naturally beneficial insects and optimal farming awareness

Results in Applied Mathematics, 2021
Maize remains an important food crop in Africa. However, the production of this crop, and consequently the livelihood of the growers are threatened by the invasion and widespread infestation of the fall armyworm which causes substantial maize yield ...

Flight Capability and the Low Temperature Threshold of a Chinese Field Population of the Fall Armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda

Insects, 2022
Simple Summary The fall armyworm (FAW), an invasive migratory pest from the Americas, has been rapidly spreading through the Old World recently. Although it cannot survive winter periods in temperate and subtropical regions, adults re-invade these areas ...

Provision of pest alerts is associated with better farm performance in Africa

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Provision of pest alerts on invasive crop pest control in Africa was linked with a higher likelihood of adopting integrated pest management practices, as well as an improvement in crop yield and income. The results suggest that pest alerts are crucial in sustainable pest management strategies against invasive pests. Abstract BACKGROUND Crop pests cause
