Summary In this article a selection of invasive and invading insect species observed in Alsace is presented. For each species data are given concerning the date of arrival, the present status in the region and the possible economic impact. Mots-clés Espèces invasives, insectes, Alsace, France. Introduction Parler d'espèces invasives, envahissantes, exotiques ou autres adjectifs, présentes dans une région donnée, pose immédiatement un problème de définition. Le cas d'une espèce extrême-orientale apparue en nombre dans notre paysage entomologique comme celui de la "coccinelle asiatique", Harmonia axyridis, est clair. Celui d'une espèce plus discrète qui a étendu de proche en proche son aire de répartition en raison du réchauffement du climat ou de toute autre cause, pas toujours facile à définir, est bien différent, même si son impact économique peut être réel. La consultation de listes commentées nationales illustre d'ailleurs très bien ces difficultés à trouver de bonnes définitions et les incohérences qui en découlent. Avant de discuter des espèces envahissantes ou invasives, il faut d'abord évoquer la notion d'espèces introduites.

  • Express PRA Lyctus Cavicollis Leconte
    Express PRA for Lyctus cavicollis – Interception – Prepared by: Julius Kühn-Institute, Institute for national and international Plant Health; by Dr. Peter Baufeld, Dr. Björn Hoppe, Dr. Gritta Schrader, Dr. Anne Wilstermann; on: 18-12-2019 (replaces version of 22-01-2018). Revision highlighted in red and italics. Initiation: Interception of decoration material made of Vitis from France Initiation for the revision: Request for an update of the risk analysis by the Plant Protection Service of the Federal State Brandenburg Express PRA Lyctus cavicollis LeConte Phytosanitary risk for high medium low Germany Phytosanitary risk for high medium low EU-MS Certainty of the assessment high medium low Conclusion The shiny powder-post beetle Lyctus cavicollis is endemic to North America and does already occur in the EU. It is listed neither in the Annexes of Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 nor by EPPO. Lyctus cavicollis infests dry starchy deciduous trees (not coniferous trees). Due to appropriate climatic conditions, the beetle already established outdoors in Southwest Germany. Findings in three EU-Member States (AT, FR, LU) and Switzerland are known, too. Since the beetle exclusively infests dry wood, it is a material pest. It can establish outdoors (on dry wood). L. cavicollis has a high damage potential for dry stored wood or wood in constructions. Based on this risk analysis, it is assumed that the pest can establish in further parts of Germany or in currently non- infested Member States and cause non-insignificant damage. However, damage is limited to dead plant parts. Thus, L. cavicollis is not classified as a potential quarantine pest and Article 29 of Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 does not apply.

  • Do It Yourself SAFE and EFFECTIVE PEST MANAGEMENT for YOUR HOME, BUSINESS OR SCHOOL Richard
    Do It Yourself SAFE AND EFFECTIVE PEST MANAGEMENT FOR YOUR HOME, BUSINESS OR SCHOOL Richard “Bugman” Fagerlund All rights reserved including the right of reproduction in whole or in part in any form. FORWARD Every year, approximately 5.1 billion pounds of pesticides are used in the United States alone. Pesticides are intentionally toxic substances associated with birth defects, mutations, reproductive effects and cancer. Exposing our families to these pesticides makes them especially vulnerable to loss of brain function, damage to their reproductive systems, childhood leukemia, soft tissue sarcoma, neuroblastoma, Wilms' tumor, Ewing's sarcoma, non­Hodgkins lymphoma, brain cancer, colorectal cancer and testes cancer. Many "inert" ingredients found in pesticides are suspected carcinogens and have been linked to central nervous system disorders, liver and kidney damage, birth defects and many other serious threats to our health. The warning label on Roundup is 10 pages alone! So why do we continue to use them? Is it possible the loss of brain function associated with pesticide use is what is driving our decision to continue using them? 5.1 billion pounds are being dumped on our gardens, lawns, trees, shrubs, and making their way into our rivers, our water supply, our food supply and our bodies. We are slowly poisoning ourselves and our environment. 96% of all fish analyzed in major rivers and streams contain residues of one or several pesticides. 100% of all surface water contains one or more pesticides. Pesticides, and especially herbicides, are contaminating our water supply. Removal is costly and difficult, and not always 100% effective. Pesticides are suspected to be the cause of amphibian declines and mutations as well as the rapid decline of our most important pollinator, the honey bee.

  • Alien Insect Impact on Cultural Heritage and Landscape
    LIEN INSECT IMPACT ON CULTURAL HERITAGE AND ALANDSCAPE: AN UNDERESTIMATED PROBLEM Barbara Manachini*5 Dipartimento Scienze e Tecnologie Biologiche, Chimiche e Farmaceutiche STEBICEF, Via Archirafi , 18, Palermo, Italy Keywords: Invasive species; economic impact; insect pests; biodiversity What is an invasive alien insect? Invasive species are referred to as non-natives, exotics, aliens, non-indigenous harmful species and by a host of other names. All these defi nitions incorporate a basic concept: invasive species are organisms that have been introduced into an environ- ment in which they did not evolve and whose introduction causes or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm [1]. Typically, they have few or no natural enemies to limit their reproduction and/or spread. Moreover, the hosts (e.g. native trees) for inva- sive insects often have not co-evolved with the introduced pest. Consequently native hosts are much more likely to be damaged or killed by the invasive pest. Today, inva- sive species cause millions of dollars of damage to croplands, rangelands, pastures, wetlands, waterways and forests. In addition, they have caused ecological and societal impacts [2]. Alien insects are more than 30% of all other alien species introduced into Italy and represent one of the most important environmental worries as they are con- sidered one of the major causes of loss of biodiversity. More than 60% of these alien insects have a negative impact on economic and human health. However, their impact on cultural heritage and on landscape is still underestimated [3, 4]. Alien insect and landscape The number of new records of alien species increases continuously, with a marked acceleration in recent decades.

Ges., download www.biologiezentrum.at Mitt. Münch. Ent. Ges. 100 103-117 München, 15.10.2010 ISSN 0340-4943 New records of Bostrichidae (Insecta: Coleoptera, Bostrichidae, Bostrichinae, Lyctinae, Polycaoninae, Dinoderinae, Apatinae) Lan-Yu LIU Abstract This paper lists new and remarkable records of 107 species of bostrichid beetles from many parts of the world. Many records show that species are distributed more widely within a biogeographic region than previous records suggested, e.g. Cephalotoma perdepressa LESNE, 1937, Xylocis tortilicornis LESNE, 1901 in the Oriental region, Bostrychoplites megaceros LESNE, 1899 and Xyloperthella guineensis ROBERTS, 1976 in the Afrotropical region, and Trogoxylon giacobbii SANTORO, 1957 and Melalgus femoralis (FABRICIUS, 1792) in the Neotropical region. In some cases the species are recorded for the first time from a different biogeographic realm, e.g. the Oriental and Australian species Bostrychopsis parallela (LESNE, 1895) has been introduced into the Afrotropical region, the Neoguinean species Minthea humericosta LESNE, 1936 and the Afrotropical species Dinoderopsis serriger LESNE, 1923 have been introduced into the Oriental region, and the Madagascan species Apate geayi LESNE, 1907 has been introduced into the Mediterranean area. Introduction The bostrichid beetles have a world-wide distribution but are mainly found in tropical and arid areas. They are commonly known as powder-post beetles, because of the ability of the larvae and some adults to reduce sapwood, particularly of hardwoods, into a powdery frass.
