The paper characterizes piRNAs, their biogenesis, and their targets in Spodoptera frugiperda, revealing roles beyond transposable element silencing.

The paper analyzes population genomic data of the fall armyworm to show multiple introduction events and gene flow across the Old World.

The paper performs ChIP-Seq to analyze H3K9me2 distribution in S. frugiperda, finding it enriched at telomeres, rDNA, and satellite DNA but not correlated with transcriptional repression.

This study uses high-depth resequencing to analyze genetic diversity and insecticide resistance in fall armyworm populations invading China, revealing hybrid origins and resistance patterns.

This study identifies divergent selection as a sufficient cause for whole genome differentiation in Spodoptera frugiperda without requiring physical linkage among differentiating loci.
