Experimental evidence of negative agricultural impacts and effectiveness of mitigation strategies of invasive green iguanas (Iguana iguana) in Puerto Rico [PDF]

NeoBiota
Losses in crop yield due to invasive insects, weeds, pathogens, and herbivores cost trillions of dollars per year globally. To prevent further spread of invasive agricultural pest species, continuous monitoring and prevention are crucial. Once introduced,

Chromosome-level genome assembly of Bactrocera dorsalis reveals its adaptation and invasion mechanisms

Communications Biology, 2022
Jiang et al. sequence the genome of Bactrocera dorsalis, a destructive and invasive agricultural pest. Insights from this chromosome-level assembly shed light on molecular adaptations that allow for the global invasion and expansion of this pest.

Comparative Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Expression of Defense Pathways and Specific Protease Inhibitor Genes in Solanum lycopersicum in Response to Feeding by Tuta absoluta

Insects
Understanding plant-insect interactions can help control the harm of herbivorous pests. According to transcriptome data, transcripts of Solanum lycopersicum responding to feeding by Tuta absoluta were screened for important endopeptidase inhibitors ...
