Contrasted invasion processes imprint the genetic structure of an invasive scale insect across southern Europe.

abstract：:Many traits including shapes and colors of flowers, fruits and seeds in plants, as well as coat colors and some behavioral properties in animals, are recorded in discrete categories. If categories are ordered, genetic analyses of the categorical traits are often performed using the threshold model, which considers a l...
