The high invasion success of fall armyworm is related to life-history strategies across a range of stressful temperatures.

Our analysis suggests that the high invasion success of FAW may result from their ability to adjust life-history strategies, across a range of stressful temperatures, in a way that reduces not only mortality, but also fecundity loss. The adoption of such strategies may be instrumental for the global invasion success of FAW. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.
