“…Nevertheless, genetic diversity in WFT based on microsatellite markers and mitochondrial DNA was higher than in other invasive species introduced to China from America, such as the fall webworm Hyphantria cunea (Cao, Wei, et al., ), red turpentine beetle Dendroctonus valens (Cai, Cheng, Xu, Duan, & Kirkendall, ) and black locust gall midge Obolodiplosis robiniae (Shang, Yao, Huai, & Zhao, ). For instance, only one mitochondrial haplotype and an allelic richness of 2.92 were observed in 24 populations of fall webworm in China, in contrast to 12 haplotypes and an allelic richness of 6.29 in two populations from North America.…”
