Sažetak
The purpose of this project is to provide data that will help in the control of the western corn rootworm (WCR) in Croatia. Successful control efforts require a detailed understanding of the mechanisms underlying invasion success, and these can be investigated by the field of landscape genetics. Understanding the landscape genetics of WCR in Croatia will: increase knowledge of how many population exist ; enhance understanding of WCR dispersal including where and when a WCR invasion is likely to occur ; how populations might spread ; the level of genetic diversity in populations ; and assess the level of spatial and landscape dependence on the genetic structure, gene flow and dispersal of WCR. This talk will present the preliminary findings of the genetic structure, gene flow and dispersal patterns among six central and western Croatian WCR populations. Also future research concerning the landscape genetics of WCR populations from across Croatia, and how this data will be used to improve pest management strategies for WCR, will be discussed-
