Do cropping system and insecticide use in spring oilseed rape affect the abundance of pollen beetles (Meligethes aeneus Fab.) on the crop? – International Journal of Pest Management, in press. 6 INTRODUCTION Oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) is one of the most important oilseed plants cultivated in temperate regions. The expansion of the growing area of rape in Europe has resulted in an increase in the number of pests (Büchi, 1996; Cook et al., 1999; Hokkanen, 2000). In Estonia, the area sown to the crop has increased greatly during the last fifteen years, with 50,400 hectares grown in 2004 (Statistics Estonia, 2006). The manage- ment of pests on the European oilseed rape crop still relies heavily on chemical pesticides, most often applied routinely and prophylactically, without regard to pest incidence, at best according to threshold values of the pest population (Williams, 2004). This leads to the over-use of chemical pesticides, which reduces the economic competitiveness of the crop, brings on the development of resistance to pesticides and also threatens biological diversity. Pesticides also kill natural agents of bio- logical control that represent a resource with a great potential benefit to farmers and consumers (Alford et al., 1995; Williams & Murchie, 1995; Walters et al., 2003). By killing the natural enemies of pests, pesticide use has to be increased further to achieve pest control (Pickett et al., 1995; Murchie et al., 1997). Recent advances in insect management of the pests of oilseed rape have emphasised the important role of natural enemies within integrated pest management systems for the crop (Williams, 2004). To develop eco- nomically-viable and environmentally-acceptable crop management strategies for oilseed rape to maximise the biocontrol of key pests and minimise chemical inputs requires a much better understanding of pest and parasitoid taxonomy and biology throughout Europe. In Estonia, cropping with spring rape is still prevalent but growing of winter rape is also increasing. As Estonia is at the northernmost latitude for growing winter rape, winter survival of the crop is always questionable. The pests of oilseed rape and their natural enemies have been little studied in Esto- nia. The present study was focused on the identification of key pests and their parasitoids and determination of factors affecting their occurrence on both winter and spring oilseed rape. 7 1. REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE 1.1. Oilseed rape pests The major pests of oilseed rape in Europe are the pollen beetle, Meligethes aeneus (Fabricius) (Coleoptera, Nitidulidae), the cabbage seed weevil, Ceutorhynchus assimilis (Paykull), the cabbage stem weevil, C. pallidac- tylus (Marsham), the rape stem weevil, C. napi Gyllenhal (Coleoptera, Curculionidae), the cabbage stem flea beetle, Psylliodes chrysocephala (Linnaeus) (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) and the brassica pod midge, Dasineura brassicae (Winnertz) (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) (Alford et al., 2003; Williams, 2004). Flea beetles (Phyllotreta spp., Coleoptera, Chry- somelidae) are also important, particularly on spring oilseed rape, the most frequent ones being P. nemorum (Linnaeus), P. atra (Fabricius), P. undulata (Kutschera) and P. nigripes (Fabricius). Some of these pests occur virtually everywhere where rape is grown, whereas others have a more limited distribution. None of these pests are specific to the oilseed rape crop, although all are crucifer-specialists. Many other crucifer-spe- cialist insects also occur on the crop, without attaining pest status (Alford et al., 2003). In Estonia, knowledge of the pests of oilseed rape is fragmentary and largely confined to the description of species. There was great shortage of literature about oilseed rape pest biology, abundance and the dam- age they cause. First data of oilseed rape pests and their control with pesticides date from Lõiveke (1991) and Kaarli (2000). More detailed descriptions of pests of brassicaceous crops are given by Metspalu & Hiie- saar (2002). With participating in the EU-funded project MASTER: MAnagement STrategies for European Rape pests, the Estonian Science Foundation Grant in 2002 and the project of Estonian Ministry of Agriculture in 2004, systematic studies of oilseed rape pests and investigations of fac- tors influencing their presence and abundance were started in the De- partment of Plant Protection of the Estonian University of Life Sciences. The aims of the MASTER project were to develop economically-viable and environmentally-acceptable crop management strategies for winter oilseed rape which maximise the biological control of key pests and min- 8 imise chemical inputs (Williams et al., 2002). Chemical control of pests of oilseed rape still prevails. Although insecticides can effectively control the pests, there is an urgent need to develop alternative strategies for managing

  • Tersilochinae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) of Israel. Part 1
    ISRAEL JOURNAL OF ENTOMOLOGY, Vol. 48 (2), pp. 113–121 (2 July 2018) This contribution is dedicated to the memory of Prof. Dan Gerling, a scientist, a colleague and a friend Tersilochinae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) of Israel. Part 1 ANDREY I. KH A L ai M Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, Russia, and Facultad de Ingeniería y Ciencias, Universidad Autónoma de Tamaulipas, Cd. Victoria, Mexico. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Tersilochinae fauna of Israel is reviewed. Five genera with nine species are found to occur in Israel: Aneuclis brevicauda (Thomson), A. incidens (Thom- son), Diaparsis gerlingi n. sp., D. nitida Horstmann, D. frontella (Holmgren), Ge lanes clavulatus Khalaim & Blank, G. simillimus Horstmann, Palpator turpi- lucricupidus Khalaim and Phradis interstitialis (Thomson). Two more genera, Prob les Förster and Tersilochus Holmgren, are formally recorded here from Is- rael but excluded from the present paper and will be treated separately. KEYWORDS: Ichneumonidae, Tersilochinae, Middle East, fauna, new species, new records, parasitoids, taxonomy. INTRODUCTION Tersilochinae is a moderately large subfamily of ichneumonid wasps of world- wide distribution. It comprises approximately 500 described species, with 190 spe- cies in 13 genera known to occur in Europe (Yu et al. 2016; Khalaim & Várkonyi 2018). Most host records of Tersilochinae are from larvae of Coleoptera, mostly of the families Curculionidae, Chrysomelidae and Nitidulidae, but some tersi lochines are known as parasitoids of xyelid sawflies (Hymenoptera: Xyelidae) in staminate pine cones, gall-forming Pontania spp. (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae) and leaf- mining Eriocraniidae (Lepidoptera) (Yu et al. 2016; Khalaim & Várkonyi 2018). Virtually nothing was known about the Tersilochinae of Israel before commen - cement of this study.

Winterraps wird von einer Vielzahl an Schädlingen befallen welche in der Praxis fast ausschließlich durch den Einsatz von chemischen Insektiziden (maßgeblich Pyrethroide) bekämpft werden. Verglichen mit anderen Großkulturen ist der Insektizideinsatz im Rapsanbau relativ hoch. Der seit mehr als 20 Jahren wiederkehrende Einsatz von Pyrethroiden zur Kontrolle von Rapsschädlingen in Europa resultierte in einem enormen Selektionsdruck. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es nicht verwunderlich, dass drei Schädlinge der Ordnung Coleoptera gegenwärtig eine Resistenz gegen Pyrethroide aufweisen. Bei den drei coleopteren Vertretern handelt es sich um den Rapsglanzkäfer, Meligethes aeneus F., den Rapserdfloh, Psylliodes chrysocephala L. und den Kohlschotenrüssler, Ceutorhynchus assimilis PAYK.

Weevils are a diverse group of plant-feeding beetles and occur in most terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems. This chapter documents the diversity and distribution of 295 weevil species found in the Canadian Prairies Ecozone belonging to the families Dryophthoridae (9 spp.), Brachyceridae (13 spp.), and Curculionidae (273 spp.). Weevils in the Prairies Ecozone represent approximately 34% of the total number of weevil species found in Canada. Notable species with distributions restricted to the Prairies Ecozone, usually occurring in one or two provinces, are candidates for potentially rare or endangered status. Résumé.
