| population genetics suggest that multiple invasion processes need to be addressed in the management plan of a plant disease vector. | the use of a multidisciplinary approach is becoming increasingly important when developing management strategies that mitigate the economic and biological costs associated with invasive pests. a framework of simulated dispersal is combined with life-history information and analyses of population genetic structure to investigate the invasion dynamics of a plant disease vector, the island sugarcane planthopper (eumetopina flavipes), through an archipelago of significant australian quarantine conce ... | 2013 | 23789032 |
| the effect of host structure on the distribution and abundance of the island sugarcane planthopper, eumetopina flavipes muir, vector of ramu stunt disease of sugarcane. | the island sugarcane planthopper, eumetopina flavipes muir, is the only known vector for ramu stunt disease of sugarcane. this study examined the relationship between host plant distribution and abundance, and e. flavipes distribution, abundance and levels of population connectivity in papua new guinea (png), the torres strait (ts) and northern peninsula area (npa) of australia, as a first step in establishing e. flavipes invasion potential through the ts/npa. results show that e. flavipes utili ... | 2009 | 19428738 |
