Genetic Structure and Distribution of Codling Moth Populations in China

A 2026 study by xingya wang analyzes the genetic structure and dispersal patterns of the invasive codling moth (Cydia pomonella) in China. The dataset includes genetic data from 24 populations (22 in China, 2 in Pakistan) and ensemble species distribution model projections for 2021–2040 under three climate scenarios. It is published on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyzing genetic differentiation and population structure based on ten nuclear microsatellite loci.
• Modeling future shifts in suitable habitats for an invasive pest using ensemble species distribution models.
• Investigating the influence of human impact index (HII) on pest distribution patterns.
• Reconstructing dispersal pathways and gene flow between populations in China.

Strengths

• Includes genetic data from 24 distinct populations across China and Pakistan.
• Provides ensemble model projections for three future climate scenarios (2021–2040).
• Dataset size of 425.5 MB suggests substantial underlying data.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
