  abstract = {{B}ackground: {T}o predict further invasions of pests it is important to understand what factors contribute to the genetic structure of their populations. {C}osmopolitan pest species are ideal for studying how different agroecosystems affect population genetic structure within a species at different climatic extremes. {W}e undertook the first population genetic study of the greenhouse whitefly ({T}rialeurodes vaporariorum), a cosmopolitan invasive herbivore, and examined the genetic structure of this species in {N}orthern and {S}outhern {E}urope. {I}n {F}inland, cold temperatures limit whiteflies to greenhouses and prevent them from overwintering in nature, and in {G}reece, milder temperatures allow whiteflies to inhabit both fields and greenhouses year round, providing a greater potential for connectivity among populations. {U}sing nine microsatellite markers, we genotyped 1274 {T}. vaporariorum females collected from 18 greenhouses in {F}inland and eight greenhouses as well as eight fields in {G}reece. {R}esults: {P}opulations from {F}inland were less diverse than those from {G}reece, suggesting that {G}reek populations are larger and subjected to fewer bottlenecks. {M}oreover, there was significant population genetic structure in both countries that was explained by different factors. {H}abitat (field vs. greenhouse) together with longitude explained genetic structure in {G}reece, whereas in {F}inland, genetic structure was explained by host plant species. {F}urthermore, there was no temporal genetic structure among populations in {F}inland, suggesting that year-round populations are able to persist in greenhouses. {C}onclusions: {T}aken together our results show that greenhouse agroecosystems can limit gene flow among populations in both climate zones. {F}ragmented populations in greenhouses could allow for efficient pest management. {H}owever, pest persistence in both climate zones, coupled with increasing opportunities for naturalization in temperate latitudes due to climate change, highlight challenges for the management of cosmopolitan pests in {N}orthern and {S}outhern {E}urope.},
