| asymmetric mating interactions drive widespread invasion and displacement in a whitefly. | the role of behavioral mechanisms in animal invasions is poorly understood. we show that asymmetric mating interactions between closely related but previously allopatric genetic groups of the whitefly bemisia tabaci, a haplodiploid species, have been a driving force contributing to widespread invasion and displacement by alien populations. we conducted long-term field surveys, caged population experiments, and detailed behavioral observations in zhejiang, china, and queensland, australia, to inv ... | 2007 | 17991828 |
