  • Belowground Herbivore Interactions
    ARTICLE Received 20 Apr 2014 | Accepted 30 Jul 2014 | Published 22 Sep 2014 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms5851 OPEN Species-specific defence responses facilitate conspecifics and inhibit heterospecifics in above–belowground herbivore interactions Wei Huang1, Evan Siemann2, Li Xiao1,3, Xuefang Yang1,3 & Jianqing Ding1 Conspecific and heterospecific aboveground and belowground herbivores often occur together in nature and their interactions may determine community structure. Here we show how aboveground adults and belowground larvae of the tallow tree specialist beetle Bikasha collaris and multiple heterospecific aboveground species interact to determine herbivore performance. Conspecific aboveground adults facilitate belowground larvae, but other aboveground damage inhibits larvae or has no effect. Belowground larvae increase con- specific adult feeding, but decrease heterospecific aboveground insect feeding and abun- dance. Chemical analyses and experiments with plant populations varying in phenolics show that all these positive and negative effects on insects are closely related to root and shoot tannin concentrations. Our results show that specific plant herbivore responses allow her- bivore facilitation and inhibition to co-occur, likely shaping diverse aboveground and below- ground communities. Considering species-specific responses of plants is critical for teasing apart inter- and intraspecific interactions in aboveground and belowground compartments. 1 Key Laboratory of Aquatic Botany and Watershed Ecology, Wuhan Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan 430074, China. 2 Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Rice University, Houston, Texas 77005, USA. 3 University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China.

  • Phylogeny of the Tachinidae (Diptera) As Inferred from Morphological Evidence
    Systematic Entomology (2014), 39, 335–353 Signal through the noise? Phylogeny of the Tachinidae (Diptera) as inferred from morphological evidence PIERFILIPPO CERRETTI1,2, JAMES E. O’HARA3, D. MONTGOMERY WOOD3, HIROSHI SHIMA4,DIEGOJ. INCLAN5 andJOHN O. STIREMAN III6 1Department of Biology and Biotechnology ‘Charles Darwin’, University of Rome ‘Sapienza’, Rome, Italy, 2Centro Nazionale Biodiversita` Forestale – Corpo Forestale dello Stato, Verona, Italy, 3Canadian National Collection of Insects, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Ottawa, Canada, 4Kyushu University Museum, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan, 5DAFNAE-Entomology, University of Padova, Padova, Italy and 6Department of Biological Sciences, Wright State University, Dayton, OH, U.S.A. Abstract. The oestroid family Tachinidae represents one of the most diverse lineages of insect parasitoids. Despite their broad distribution, diversity and important role as biological control agents, the phylogeny of this family remains poorly known. Here, we review the history of tachinid systematics and present the first quantitative phylogenetic analysis of the family based on morphological data. Cladistic analyses were conducted using 135 morphological characters from 492 species belonging to 180 tachinid genera, including the four currently recognized subfamilies (Dexiinae, Exoristinae, Phasiinae, Tachininae) and all major tribes. We used characters of eggs, first-instar larvae and adults of both sexes. We examined the effects of implied weighting by reanalysing the data with varying concavity factors. Our analysis generally supports the subfamily groupings Dexiinae + Phasiinae and Tachininae + Exoristinae, with only the Exoristinae and the Phasiinae reconstructed as monophyletic assemblages under a wide range of weighting schemes. Under these conditions, the Dexiinae, which were previously considered a well-established monophyletic assemblage, are reconstructed as being paraphyletic with respect to the Phasiinae.

Wheeler1* , Emily Jones1, Kirsten Dyer1, Nick Silverson1 & Susan A. Wright2 1USDA/ARS Invasive Plant Research Laboratory, 3225 College Ave., Ft Lauderdale, FL 33314, USA, and 2USDA/ARS Invasive Plant Research Laboratory, Gainesville, FL 32608, USA Accepted: 23 August 2018 Key words: biocontrol, classical biological control, weed control, Euphorbiaceae, defoliating caterpillar, host range tests, invasive weeds, Sapium, Lepidoptera, Nolidae, integrated pest management, IPM Abstract Classical biological control can provide an ecologically sound, cost-effective, and sustainable manage- ment solution to protect diverse habitats. These natural and managed ecosystems are being invaded and transformed by invasive species. Chinese tallowtree, Triadica sebifera (L.) Small (Euphorbiaceae), is one of the most damaging invasive weeds in the southeastern USA, impacting wetlands, forests, and natural areas. A defoliating moth, Gadirtha fusca Pogue (Lepidoptera: Nolidae), was discovered feeding on Chinese tallowtree leaves in the weed’s native range and has been tested for its suitability as a biological control agent. Natural history studies of G. fusca indicated that the neonates have five instars and require 15.4 days to reach pupation. Complete development from egg hatch to adult emergence required 25.8 days. No differences were found between males and females in terms of life history and nutritional indices measured. Testing of the host range of G. fusca larvae was conducted with no-choice, dual-choice, and multigeneration tests and the results indicated that this species has a very narrow host range.

  • DIPTERA) from AUSTRALIA by R
    27 TWO NEW GENERA AND SPECIES OF ERYCIINE TACHINIDAE (DIPTERA) FROM AUSTRALIA By R. W. CROSSKEY* [Manuscript received November 18, 19661 Abstract Two new genera and species of Tachinidae from New South Wales, Victoria and the Capital Territory are described and assigned to the tribe Eryciini. The characters of the Eryciini and the occurrence of the group in Australia are briefly discussed. INTRODUCTION The Eryciini has been recognised as a tribe, under this name, of higher goniine Tachinidae by van Emden (1954) and Sabrosky and Arnaud (1965), and some Australian forms have recently been assigned to the tribe for the first time by Crosskey (1966). It is probable that the grou is polyphyletic, but it will be many years before the inter-relationships of this d’lii cult miscellany of forms-for many of which there is no knowledge of immature stages or hosts-become clear: at the moment the Eryciini is in practice a convenient assemblage of Goniinae that can- not satisfactorily be fitted in any of the more distinctive tribes (Winthemiini, Sturmiini, Carceliini or Goniini). The Eryciini therefore lacks any very positive characters for tribal definition, and must perforce be defined largely by the negative converse of the characters defining the other tribes of Goniinae: its main features are therefore that the humeral callus has fewer than five strong setae, the barette is bare or almost bare, the hind tibia is irregularly bristled (i.e. without a close-set even antero-dorsal fringe), the vibrissae are usually level with the mouth-margin (several exceptions, of which Metuphryno gen.n.

  • And Belowground Damage on an Invasive Tree
    Ecological Applications, 0(0), 2016, pp. 1–12 © 2016 by the Ecological Society of America A native plant competitor mediates the impact of above- and belowground damage on an invasive tree JULI CARRILLO1,3 AND EVAN SIEMANN2 1Department of Entomology, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907 USA 2Department of Biosciences, Rice University, Houston, Texas 77005 USA Abstract. Plant competition may mediate the impacts of herbivory on invasive plant species through effects on plant growth and defense. This may predictably depend on whether herbivory occurs above or below ground and on relative plant competitive ability. We simulated the potential impact of above- or belowground damage by biocontrol agents on the growth of a woody invader (Chinese tallow tree, Triadica sebifera) through artificial herbivory, with or without competition with a native grass, little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium). We measured two defense responses of Triadica through quantifying constitu- tive and induced extrafloral nectar production and tolerance of above- and belowground damage (root and shoot biomass regrowth). We examined genetic variation in plant growth and defense across native (China) and invasive (United States) Triadica populations. With- out competition, aboveground damage had a greater impact than belowground damage on Triadica performance, whereas with competition and above- and belowground damage impacted Triadica similarly. Whole plant tolerance to damage below ground was negatively associated with tolerance to grass competitors indicating

Although such faunistic studies were conducted extensively in the region during the first decade of the early 20th century, there are a few new taxa, taxonomic revisions, misidentifications, and misspellings, which should be documented. We examined 1,276 species in 652 genera, 59 subfamilies, and 15 families. We propose 4 new combinations, namely Arichanna refracta Inoue, 1978 stat. nov.; Psyra matsumurai Bastelberger, 1909 stat. nov.; Olene baibarana (Matsumura, 1927) comb. nov.; and Cerynia usuguronis (Matsumura, 1927) comb. nov..

Invasive plants often have novel biotic interactions in their introduced ranges. Their defense to herbivory may differ from their native counterparts, potentially influencing the effectiveness of biological control. If invasive plants have decreased resistance but increased tolerance to enemies, insect herbivores may rapidly build up their populations but exert weak control. Moreover, resource availability to plants may affect the efficacy of biological control agents. We tested these predictions using Chinese tallow tree (Triadica sebifera) and two specialist herbivores (Heterapoderopsis bicallosicollis and Gadirtha inexacta) that are candidates for biological control. We performed a pair of field common garden experiments in China in which Triadica seedlings from the native or introduced range were grown in low or high light conditions and subjected to different levels of herbivory by each herbivore in a factorial design.

Small] is a highly invasive tree species in southeastern US forests, prairies, and wetlands, and effectively managing this invasive species is a significant challenge for scientists and land managers. In this review, we synthesize the literature on invasion ecology and management of Chinese tallow. Our review suggests that the invaded range of Chinese tallow is currently limited by dispersal in many areas and by low temperatures and low soil moisture, and by high soil salinity and frequent flooding in others, but these barriers may be overcome by increased dispersal, phenotypic plasticity, and/or rapid evolution.
