Coupling has emerged as a concept to describe the transition from differentiated
populations to newly evolved species through the strengthening of reproductive isolation …

Simple Summary The European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis) is a major pest of corn,
managed successfully in North America since 1996 with transgenic Bt-corn. However …

The first case of field-evolved resistance in European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis
(Hübner)(Lepidoptera: Crambidae) to transgenic corn (Zea mays L.) producing a Bacillus …

Synchronizing the annual timing of physiological, morphological, and behavioral transitions
with seasons enables survival in temperate environments [1]. The capacity to adjust life …

The sex pheromone system of~ 160,000 moth species acts as a powerful form of assortative
mating whereby females attract conspecific males with a species-specific blend of volatile …

Abstract Theory predicts that when different barriers to gene flow become coincident, their
joint effects enhance reproductive isolation and genomic divergence beyond their individual …

BACKGROUND Ostrinia furnacalis (ACB) and Ostrinia nubilalis (ECB) are devastating pests
of the agricultural crop maize worldwide. However, little is known about their potential …

Substantial differentiation was found between Ostrinia populations, adapted to feed on
dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous host plants, which results not only in oviposition and …

Rapidly changing environments may weaken sexual selection and lead to indiscriminate
mating by interfering with the reception of mating signals or by increasing the costs …

Many insect pests are long-distance migrants, moving from lower latitudes where they
overwinter to higher latitudes in spring to exploit superabundant, but seasonally ephemeral …
