Pheromonal variation and mating between two mitotypes of fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) in Africa
Abstract In the Americas, the fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) exists in two genetically distinct strains, the corn (C) and rice (R) strains. Despite their names, these strains are not associated with host plant preferences but have been shown to vary in pheromone composition and male responses...
