  abstract = {{T}he yellow-legged hornet, {V}espa velutina, was accidentally introduced from {S}outheast {A}sia and then invaded {F}rance and {K}orea over the last 10 years. {S}ince its introduction, its predation on honeybee colonies has rapidly become an economic problem in invaded countries. {U}sing mitochondrial cytochrome {C} oxidase and 22 nuclear microsatellite loci, we showed that native hornet populations were well differentiated and highly diverse. {I}n contrast, introduced populations from {F}rance and {K}orea suffered a genetic bottleneck, which did not prevent their rapid geographic expansion. {A}nalysis of the genetic data indicates that {F}rench and {K}orean populations likely arose from two independent introduction events. {T}he most probable source population is from an area between the {C}hinese provinces of {Z}hejiang and {J}iangsu. {T}his invasion route is in agreement with knowledge on trade and historical records. {B}y studying colonies of {V}. velutina, we demonstrated its polyandry, which is very rare among {V}espidae. {T}his mating behavior could have favored the success of this {A}sian hornet in {E}urope and {K}orea. {C}ombined, the population and colony results suggest that very few or possibly only one single multi-mated female gave rise to the invasion.},
