This study explores the intersection of native biodiversity, molecular taxonomy, and invasive species management through case studies involving key agricultural pests (Spodoptera litura), invasive plants (Hiptage benghalensis), and parasitoid wasps (Psyttalia spp.). Using mitochondrial and nuclear genetic markers, we assessed species boundaries, population structure, and cryptic diversity across multiple taxa and landscapes. Our findings reveal high levels of genetic differentiation, evidence of multiple invasion events, and host-associated divergence within parasitoid populations, emphasizing the need for species-specific control approaches. These results support the integration of native biological control agents and molecular diagnostics into sustainable pest and invasive species management frameworks. The study underscores the value of conserving native biodiversity and applying genomic tools to design ecologically informed, region-specific solutions in agricultural systems increasingly threatened by biotic invasions and environmental change.
