Disentangling the worldwide invasion process of Halyomorpha halys through approximate Bayesian computation.

ABSTRACT: Halyomorpha halys is a polyphagous insect pest, which was first found outside its native regions in 1996, and since then it has rapidly spread worldwide causing damage to agriculture. Investigating the genetic diversity among H. halys populations is essential to understand the colonization history out of its native areas. Analyses based on mtDNA indicate multiple invasions from Asia to European and American continents, as well as serial invasions within invaded countries, but the colonization dynamics are still debated. Recently, genome-wide data (ddRAD) have been published to investigate the genomic structure of H. halys, proposing China as a putative source of multiple serial invasion events to Europe and the Americas. In this study we re-analyze published ddRAD sequences from worldwide
