Mediterranean Fruit Fly and Gypsy Moth Larva (IMAGE)
Caption
The Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata, adult shown at left) and gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar, larva shown at right) are two invasive species among many for which new advances in genetic techniques and geospatial analysis are driving invasive-species management. Two new special collections in the Annals of the Entomological Society of America, published in a partnership between ESA and the National Invasive Species Council, feature more than a dozen research articles showcasing both cutting-edge technologies and practical implications for management of invasive insects and arthropods.
