Journal ArticleDOI
Integrative taxonomy reveals six new species related to the Mediterranean corn stalk borer Sesamia nonagrioides (Lefèbvre) (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, Sesamiina)

Cugala,Beatrice Pallangyo,Onésime Mubenga,Gilson Chipabika,Rose Ndemah,Michel Sezonlin,Grégoire Bani,Richard Molo,Abdalla Ali,Paul-André Calatayud,Paul-André Calatayud,Paul-André Calatayud,Laure Kaiser,Laure Kaiser,Jean-François Silvain,Jean-François Silvain,Bruno Le Ru,Bruno Le Ru,Bruno Le Ru +26 more
TL;DR: Six new species that are closely related to S.’nonagrioides, an important pest of maize with a wide area of distribution that covers most of Africa and extends to the south of Europe and western Asia are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bt‐maize as a potential trap crop for management of Eldana saccharina Walker (Lep., Pyralidae) in sugarcane
TL;DR: It is argued that Bt‐maize warrants further testing in the field as a trap crop, both alone and as a component of a ‘push–pull’ or habitat management system for E. saccharina in sugarcane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrative taxonomy of Acrapex stem borers (Lepidoptera : Noctuidae : Apameini): combining morphology and Poisson Tree Process analyses
Bruno Le Ru,Bruno Le Ru,Claire Capdevielle-Dulac,Emmanuel F. A. Toussaint,Desmond Conlong,Johnnie Van den Berg,Beatrice Pallangyo,George Ong’amo,Gilson Chipabika,Richard Molo,William A. Overholt,James P. Cuda,Gael J. Kergoat +12 more
TL;DR: Molecular phylogenetics and molecular species delimitation analyses provided additional evidence of the validity of the six newly described species but also suggested a level of hidden biodiversity for one of them.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beauveria brongniartii on white grubs attacking sugarcane in South Africa.
Tarryn Goble,Laurent Costet,Isabelle Robène,Samuel Nibouche,R. S. Rutherford,Desmond Conlong,Desmond Conlong,Martin Hill +7 more
TL;DR: No genetic differentiation was observed between the Harden Heights and Canema populations; they thus may be considered one, structured and fragmented population over a distance of 5.5 km.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphological reinforcement, ancient introgressive hybridization and species delimitation in African stem-borer species of the genus Sesamia Guenée (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
Pascal Moyal,Bruno Le Ru,Johnny Van Den Berg,Alain Ratnadass,D. Cugala,Teddy Matama-Kauma,Beatrice Pallangyo,Desmond Conlong,Belay Defabachew +8 more
TL;DR: This case of mitochondrial introgression, uncommon in Lepidoptera, in which females are the heterogametic sex, may be an exception to Haldane's rule.
