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

open access: yesPLoS 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

Management of fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in maize (Zea mays L.) in Indonesia and Thailand via mating disruption

open access: yesJurnal Entomologi Indonesia
The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (Smith), has been problematic in Southeast Asia since its invasion in 2019. Fall armyworm management in these areas largely depends on synthetic insecticide application, and alternative management practices are ...

Beauveria Bassiana Triggers Soybean Systemic Resistance and Causes Sublethal Effects in Spodoptera frugiperda

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 3, Page 236-250, March 2026.
The interaction of soybean plant and the endophytic microorganism Beauveria bassiana was evaluated by inoculating a single trifoliate leaf. The effects of this inoculation on the herbivory, larval development, and life traits of Spodoptera frugiperda were measured.

Climate Change Can Generate Enemy‐Free Space for Crop‐Feeding Herbivores

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.
Magnitude and direction of change in parasitoid pressure for 14 agricultural pests subject to climate‐driven distributional shifts. Pests are organized per increasing parasitoid pressure under current climatic conditions (X axis). Bubble size is reflective of the (absolute) area affected by a given pest under a given scenario.

Resource Availability Modulates Gene Expression Across Life Stages in a Migratory Butterfly

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 5, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Natural populations are in constant need of balancing resource allocation to compensate for seasonal environmental variation. In many insects, a well‐established trade‐off between migration and reproduction exists. While this trade‐off has been characterised phenotypically for decades, the underlying regulatory pathways are poorly understood ...

Effect of Surfactants on Beet Armyworm and Fall Armyworm Larvae, 1994 [PDF]

open access: yesArthropod Management Tests, 1995
Abstract Six commercially-available surfactants/ wetting agents were compared to determine their toxic effects on beet armyworm and fall armyworm larvae. Larvae used in this study were obtained from the USDA-ARS Insect Biology and Population Management Research Lab in Tifton, GA, and were 4-days-old on the day of treatment.

Effects of Global Climate Warming on the Biological Characteristics of Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

open access: yesInsects
Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) is a significant economic pest that has recently invaded Africa and Asia. However, much of the information regarding its ecological capabilities in these newly invaded environments remains largely unknown. In this study,
