Larinus Spp.: Curculionidae) in Wisconsin ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I sincerely thank Michael Draney, Mathew Dornbush and Rachel Russell for their guidance in this project. I would also like to thank Matthew Oehmichen for assistance in field sampling, Monika Chandler of Minnesota Department of Agriculture with sampling materials, Clarissa Hammond of Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, and the Wildlife staff at the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for GIS data. iii ABSTRACT RATE OF DISPERSAL OF SPOTTED KNAPWEED BIOCONTROL BEETLES (LARINUS SPP.: CURCULIONIDAE) IN WISCONSIN (Wade Oehmichen) Eurasian seed-head weevils, Larinus obtusus Gyllenhal and Larinus minutus Gyllenhal (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), were released annually from 2004-2013 across Wisconsin for biological control of the invasive forb spotted knapweed (Centaurea stoebe L. ssp. micranthos (Gugler) Hayek). In 2014, Larinus spp. presence/absence surveys were conducted at 18 previous releases sites between 7/18/2014 – 8/16/2014 from 2007 (n=3), 2008 (n=3), 2009 (n=3), 2010 (n=6), 2011 (n=1) and 2012 (n=2). We did not detect any Larinus spp. at two of the sites (2011 and 2012) both in Door County and on four of the sites (2 - 2007, 2 - 2010) positive locations of Larinus spp. exceeded the maximum extent of survey, the point past where other previous releases of Larinus spp. were then closer to any Larinus spp. potentially detected. We found a significant, linear relationship between time since release and the natural log of the observed dispersal rates of Larinus spp. (F1,10 = 18.8, P = 0.002, R2 = 0.65), suggesting an increasing dispersal rate through time. Modeled result suggested the following relationship: LN(Dispersal distance in km) = 0.258*time since release + 0.741. Because the model intercept (i.e. dispersal rate) did not pass through zero at age zero, which was expected from a biological basis, I warn against extrapolating the modeled dispersal rate to the period from release (t=0) to the end of Year One. Applying these dispersal rates to all 326 previous Larinus spp. releases in Wisconsin we predict that by 2017 low level populations of Larinus spp could be found state-wide. This would add to the two other spotted knapweed biological control agents, Urophora affinis Frauenfeld and U. quadrifasicata (Meigen) (Diptera: Tephritidae) that are already well distributed throughout Wisconsin. My study suggests that with Larinus spp. also ubiquitous across Wisconsin future resources should focus on increasing the distribution of the less well distributed spotted knapweed biological control agents, Cyphocleonus achates (Fahraeus) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and Agapeta zoegana (Lepidoptera: Cochylidae). iv TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ..................................................................................................... ii ABSTRACT ............................................................................................................................. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS ........................................................................................................ iv LIST OF TABLES .................................................................................................................. vi LIST OF FIGURES ............................................................................................................... vii 1.

LITERATURE REVIEW Spotted knapweed (Centaurea stoebe L. spp. micranthos (Guler) Hay/synonym C. biebersteinii L. formerly C. maculosa Lam.) is native to southeastern Europe and was first reported in North America in 1893 (Groh 1944) as a contaminant in alfalfa seed in British Columbia (Roche and Talbot 1986). It spread from British Columbia to Wisconsin by the early 1900’s (Fassett 1927). It is estimated that spotted knapweed currently infests around 6.9 million acres in the U.S. (Duncan 2005). In an unpublished internal survey done by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) (2009) a list of managed properties throughout Wisconsin was sent to the corresponding land managers on whether or not known spotted knapweed populations existed on those properties (Fig 1).

    Integrated Weed Control Project – Western Washington Non-native invasive plant species threaten biological diversity, decrease forage and habitat for wildlife and livestock, increase wind and water erosion and decrease land values throughout Washington. Many years of manual and chemical control are required to impact large infested areas, which results in significant expenses for landowners and public agencies. Biological control offers an inexpensive control method that can provide long-term weed suppression. Biocontrol agents are self-perpetuating and can disperse to new and undetected weed infestations or those difficult to reach with other control practices. J.Andreas Although it can take agents several years to establish and begin impacting weed infestations, biocontrol is often a highly effective tool and in many cases is the best management option.

  • Deer Mouse Predation on the Biological Control Agent, Urophora Spp., Introduced to Control Spotted Knapweed
    This file was created by scanning the printed publication. Errors identified by the software have been corrected; however, some errors may remain. NORTHWESTERN NATURALIST 80:26-29 SPRING 1999 DEER MOUSE PREDATION ON THE BIOLOGICAL CONTROL AGENT, UROPHORASPP., INTRODUCED TO CONTROL SPOTTED KNAPWEED D. E. PEARSON USDA Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station, Forestry Sciences Laboratory, 800 East Beckwith Avenue, Missoula, Montana 59801 USA ABSTRACT-Field observations made in 1993 suggested that rodents were preying on spotted knapweed (Centaurea maculosa) seedheads, possibly targeting the gall fly larvae (Urophoraspp.) which overwinter within them. I conducted a brief study to determine the cause of seedhead predation and quantify gall fly predation. Stomachs were examined from 19 deer mice (Pero- myscus maniculatus) captured in the fall of 1993 and winter of 1997. All individuals had preyed upon gall fly larvae. The mean number of gall fly larvae found in 10 deer mouse stomachs in the winter of 1997 was 212.8. The minimum number of larvae consumed by these 10 animals for 1 night of foraging was 2686. Availability of a concentrated protein that is a readily accessible and abundant resource during winter may elevate deer mouse populations in knapweed-in- fested habitats. Increases in densities of deer mice due to gall fly presence could bring about shifts in composition of small mammal communities. Key words: Peromyscus maniculatus, Urophora,Centaurea maculosa, deer mouse, gall fly, spot- ted knapweed, predation, biological control Spotted knapweed (Centaurea maculosa) is 1 0.8 to 9.3 galls per seedhead (Story and Now- of the fastest-spreading rangeland weeds in ierski 1984).
