  • Title: Strain distribution of alfalfa weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in an intergrade zone.
    Author: Bundy CS, Smith PF, English LM, Sutton D, Hanson S.
    Journal: J Econ Entomol; 2005 Dec; 98(6):2028-32. PubMed ID: 16539129.
    Abstract:
    Strain distribution for the alfalfa weevil, Hypera postica (Gyllenhal), was determined for the five major alfalfa-growing regions of New Mexico. Mitochondrial DNA from field-collected weevils at each location was digested and sequenced to differentiate among strains. Eastern, Egyptian, and western strains were recovered, along with a population not matching any known strain. The majority of sites examined had populations of two strains intermingled within a field. This is the first confirmation of the presence of all three strains within the same geographic region. Possible implications for alfalfa weevil management are discussed.
