Abstract
The program of the proposed research represents multidisciplinary approach to determine variation within and between geogarphically isolated populations of the southern green stink bug Nezara viridula which is ecologically and ecomonically important global pest. Within the scope of the project different genetic markers, specific for Nezara viridula will be described and analysed beside monitoring of complex population specific behavioural patterns. Combination of behavioural and molecular data will provide information whether taxon N. viridula comprise a complex of cryptic (sibling) species and help to deduce patterns of colonization and migrations of populations. The results of the proposed project will provide basic knowledge for development of new environmentally friendly methods for pest control. The program of the proposed research represents one of the very first complex genetic studies for the whole bug family Pentatomidae.
