Test of colonisation scenarios reveals complex invasion history of the red tomato spider mite Tetranychus evansi.

The spider mite Tetranychus evansi is an emerging pest of solanaceous crops worldwide. Like many other emerging pests, its small size, confusing taxonomy, complex history of associations with humans, and propensity to start new populations from small inocula, make the study of its invasion biology d...
