Genetic variation within species and haplotypes of the Wiseana (Lepidoptera: Hepialidae) complex and development of non-sequenced based identification tools to aid field studies.

Until now, ecological studies of porina at the species level have been implausible. Our non-sequencing based methods allow rapid identification of moths and caterpillars to species and haplotype level, paving the way for ecological studies of pasture pest species and the development of species-specific mitigation strategies. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.
