Human-assisted movement has allowed the Asian longhorned beetle (ALB, Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky)) to spread beyond its native range and become a globally regulated invasive pest. Within of China Korean peninsula, human-mediated dispersal also caused cryptic translocation insects, resulting in population structure complexity. Previous studies used genetic methods detangle this complexity but were unable clearly delimit populations which is needed develop downstream biosurveillance tools. We genome-wide markers define historical ALB contemporary between regions. genotyping-by-sequencing generate 6102 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) amplicon sequencing genotype 53 microsatellites. In total, we genotyped 712 individuals from ALB's distribution. observed six distinct clusters among populations, with clear delineation northern southern groups. Most South Korea China. Our results indicate divergence suggest limited large-scale admixture, did identify restricted number cases identified SNPs under selection describe clinal allele frequency pattern missense variant associated glycerol kinase, an important enzyme utilization insect cryoprotectant. further demonstrate that small numbers can assign geographic regions high probability, paving way for novel

Abstract BACKGROUND The black bean bug Brachyplatys subaeneus is a crucial legume crop pest native to Asia. It has been introduced the Americas and rapidly in tropical subtropical regions, where it poses serious threat local crops. However, population structure invasive sources of this have never studied, hindering effective monitoring management. Here, we investigated genetic populations based on nuclear SNP data relationship between Panama samples COI 16S rRNA sequences. In addition, constructed ecological niche models predict its potential invasion areas. RESULTS We found that B. comprised three geographic lineages (NO, PH SO) within range, with strong differentiation these lineages. Genetic relationships mitochondrial DNA indicated used study were derived from NO lineage. Ecological modelling shows wide range suitable habitats northern central regions South America, suggesting expand further south America. CONCLUSION This revealed inferred possible geographical origin populations, areas for bug. Our findings could provide new insights into management efforts pest. © 2025 Society Chemical Industry.

Published: April 28, 2023

Despite the huge human and economic costs of invasive insects, which are main group species, their environmental impacts through various mechanisms remain inadequately explained in databases much invasion biology literature. High-throughput sequencing technology, especially whole-genome sequencing, has been used as a powerful method to study insects achieve invasion. In this study, we reviewed sequencing-based advances revealing several important including (1) rapid genetic variation evolution populations, (2) history dispersal paths, (3) adaptation different host plant ranges, (4) strong adaptation, (5) development insecticide resistance, (6) synergistic damage caused by endosymbiotic bacteria. We also discussed prevention control technologies based on prospects.

Abstract The phylogeography of many forest-dwelling species in Europe is well understood. However, our knowledge regarding the genetics saproxylic beetles remains insufficient. This gap extends to understanding influence both quaternary history and contemporary forest dynamics on population genetics. To fill this gap, we conducted a systematic review meta-analysis recent literature concerning beetle taxa with available genetic data. We include threatened common study, which enabled us generalize findings whole community. Results suggest latitudinal decrease diversity most species, likely influenced by Pleistocene glaciation subsequent expansions from southern refugia. Additionally, observed an east–west gradient diversity, exhibiting higher towards east. may reflect historical anthropogenic pressures, such as heavy wood logging Western Europe. Similarly, found pattern along altitude, populations elevation forests, are often more natural, diversity. Furthermore, identified distinct phylogenetic units or clusters reflecting distribution glacial For some taxa, were also reported eastern where spread Asian Central showed high number units, although unique (private) clades absent.

Is there hybridization between 2 species of the same genus in sympatry?—The genetic relationships between Anoplophora glabripennis, Anoplophora chinensis, and putative hybrids

Insect Science, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 31(2), P. 633 - 645

Published: Aug. 14, 2023

Abstract Anoplophora glabripennis (Asian longhorn beetle, ALB) and chinensis (Citrus CLB) are native forest pests in China; they have become important international quarantine pests. They found using the same Salix aureo‐pendula host tree of Cixi, Zhejiang province, China. On this tree, we collected additional beetles that appeared to be morphologically intermediate between ALB CLB. By a stereoscope, observed there were several bumps on base elytra, which was inconsistent with ALB, typically has smooth elytral base, but more like CLB, numerous short tubercles base. Given their sympatry morphology, hypothesized these may represent × CLB hybrids. We studied genomic profiles for 46 samples (ALB, putative hybrids) genotyping‐by‐sequencing (GBS) providing reduced representation entire genome. Employing principal component analyses 163 GBS‐derived single nucleotide polymorphism data, hybrids tightly clustered genetically distinct from individuals. Therefore, our initial hybrid hypothesis not supported by data. Further, while mating experiments adult successful 4 separate years (2017, 2018, 2020, 2021), oviposition behavior observed, no progeny produced. Having employed population analysis biological hybridization experiments, conclude newly discovered morphological variants within ALB. Our approach further confirmed advantage genome‐wide information species assignment certain ambiguous classification cases.
