Genetic Diversity of a Rising Invasive Pest in the Native Range: Population Genetic Structure of <i>Aromia bungii</i> (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in South Korea

The red-necked longhorn beetle (RLB; <i>Aromia bungii</i> [Faldermann, 1835]) is an emerging invasive pest. From its native range of East Asia, it invaded Europe and Japan in the early 2010s. Despite its increasing importance, the molecular resources of RLB are scarce, and its invasive d...
