  • Host Plant Records for North American Ragweed Flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) 1
    Vol. 95, No. 2. March & April 1984 51 HOST PLANT RECORDS FOR NORTH AMERICAN RAGWEED FLIES (DIPTERA: TEPHRITIDAE) 1 B.A. Foote2 ABSTRACT: Information is given on host plants and infestation rates for 7 of the 8 North American species of Euaresta. The host plants are either ragweeds of the genus Ambrosia or cockleburs of the genus Xanthium, 2 genera of the tribe Ambrosieae (Compositae). The genus Euaresta is a relatively small taxon within the family Tephritidae of the acalyptrate Diptera. It includes 8 species from America north of Mexico (Quisenberry, 1950; Foote, 1965), as well as several from south of the United States; however, virtually no host data are available for these latter species and some doubt exists as to whether they actually belong to the genus (R.H. Foote, in litt.). Relatively little is known of the life histories or larval feeding habits of the Nearctic species except that they seem to be associated either with cockleburs of the genus Xanthium or ragweeds of the genus Ambrosia (Compositae: Ambrosieae). Marlatt 1 1 the ( 89 ) discussed natural history of E. aequalis(Loew), a seed predator of cocklebur (X. strumarium L.). Foote (1965) reported that larvae of E. bella(Loew) and E. festiva (Loew) attacked the seeds of common ragweed (A. artemisiifolia L.) and giant ragweed (A. trifida L.), respectively. He also listed host plants for selected species of Euaresta and discussed briefly the life cycles of E. bella and E. festiva. Batra (1979) described in considerable detail the courtship behavior and oviposition habits of these two species. Goeden and Ricker (1974a, 1974b, 1976) recorded host for plants E.

  • Arthropods Associated with Above-Ground Portions of the Invasive Tree, Melaleuca Quinquenervia, in South Florida, Usa
    300 Florida Entomologist 86(3) September 2003 ARTHROPODS ASSOCIATED WITH ABOVE-GROUND PORTIONS OF THE INVASIVE TREE, MELALEUCA QUINQUENERVIA, IN SOUTH FLORIDA, USA SHERYL L. COSTELLO, PAUL D. PRATT, MIN B. RAYAMAJHI AND TED D. CENTER USDA-ARS, Invasive Plant Research Laboratory, 3205 College Ave., Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33314 ABSTRACT Melaleuca quinquenervia (Cav.) S. T. Blake, the broad-leaved paperbark tree, has invaded ca. 202,000 ha in Florida, including portions of the Everglades National Park. We performed prerelease surveys in south Florida to determine if native or accidentally introduced arthro- pods exploit this invasive plant species and assess the potential for higher trophic levels to interfere with the establishment and success of future biological control agents. Herein we quantify the abundance of arthropods present on the above-ground portions of saplings and small M. quinquenervia trees at four sites. Only eight of the 328 arthropods collected were observed feeding on M. quinquenervia. Among the arthropods collected in the plants adven- tive range, 19 species are agricultural or horticultural pests. The high percentage of rare species (72.0%), presumed to be transient or merely resting on the foliage, and the paucity of species observed feeding on the weed, suggests that future biological control agents will face little if any competition from pre-existing plant-feeding arthropods. Key Words: Paperbark tree, arthropod abundance, Oxyops vitiosa, weed biological control RESUMEN Melaleuca quinquenervia (Cav.) S. T. Blake ha invadido ca. 202,000 ha en la Florida, inclu- yendo unas porciones del Parque Nacional de los Everglades. Nosotros realizamos sondeos preliminares en el sur de la Florida para determinar si los artópodos nativos o accidental- mente introducidos explotan esta especie de planta invasora y evaluar el potencial de los ni- veles tróficos superiores para interferir con el establecimento y éxito de futuros agentes de control biológico.

Fruit fly genera south of the United States. U.S. Department of Agriculture, Technical Bulletin 1600,79 pp. The 88 genera of fruit flies in Mexico, Central America, the West Indies, and South America are discussed. Keys to all genera are pre­ sented, and a synonymy, diagnosis, and discussion of each genus follow. Included for each genus is information about its distribution, its rela­ tionship to other genera, its composition in terms of the species belong­ ingto it, aids to its recognition, and references for identifying its species. Several diagnostic characteristics and the wing of at least one species in almost every genus have been illustrated. Four genera, previously re­ garded as valid, have been synonymized with others, and three addi­ tional genera, long recorded from the region, are shown not to occur in the New World or to belong to other fly families. Fruit flies comprise the most economically important family of plant-inhabiting Diptera, consid­ ering the potential for agricultu"'al damage by species of such genera as Anast-repha, Ceratitis, Dacu.s, andRhagoletis.

  • Subcontractor's Report
    Complex research on methods to halt the Ambrosia invasion in Europe - HALT AMBROSIA 07.0322/2010/586350/SUB/B2 Task ID C.3: Perspectives for biological control Subcontractor’s report Urs Schaffner1, Esther Gerber1 1 CABI, 2800 Delémont, Rue des Grillons 1, 2800 Delémont, Switzerland; [email protected], [email protected] correspondence: Urs Schaffner, [email protected] 1 Summary The recent invasion by common ragweed, Ambrosia artemisiifolia has, like no other plant, raised the awareness of invasive plants in Europe. Recently, chemical and mechanical control methods have been developed and partially implemented in Europe, but sustainable control strategies to mitigate its spread into extensively managed land and to reduce its abundance in badly infested areas are lacking. One management tool - not yet implemented in Europe but successfully applied in Australia - is biological control. Almost all natural enemies that have colonized A. artemisiifolia in Europe are polyphagous and impose only little damage, rendering them unsuitable for a system management approach. Two fungal pathogens have been reported to adversely impact A. artemisiifolia in the introduced range, but their biology makes them difficult for mass production and application as a mycoherbicide. In the native range of A. artemisiifolia, on the other hand, a number of herbivores and pathogens associated with this plant have a very narrow host-range and reduce pollen and seed production, the stage most sensitive for long-term population management of this winter annual. We discuss and propose a prioritisation of these biological control candidates for a classical or inundative biological control approach against common ragweed in Europe by considering past experiences from North America, Asia and Australia.

  • Machine Vision Automated Species Identification Scaled Towards
    Systematic Entomology (2016), 41, 133–143 DOI: 10.1111/syen.12146 Machine vision automated species identification scaled towards production levels COLIN FAVRET1 andJEFFREY M. SIERACKI2 1Department of Biological Sciences, University of Montreal, Montreal, Canada and 2SR2 Group, LLC, Columbia, MD, U.S.A. Abstract. Computer-automated identification of insect species has long been sought to support activities such as environmental monitoring, forensics, pest diagnostics, border security and vector epidemiology, to name just a few. In order to succeed, an automated identification programme capable of addressing the needs of the end user should be able to classify hundreds of taxa, if not thousands, and is expected to distinguish closely related and hence morphologically similar species. However, it remains unknown how automated identification methods might handle an increase in data quantity, be it in reference imagery or taxonomic diversity. We sought to test the scalability of an automated identification method in terms of the number of reference specimens used to train the classifier and the number of taxa into which the classifier should assign unknown specimens. Is there an optimal number of reference images, where the cost of acquiring more images becomes greater than the marginal increase in identification success? Does increasing taxonomic diversity affect identification success, whether negatively or positively? In order to test the scalability of the automated insect identification enterprise, we used a sparse processing technique

  • Common Ragweed Ambrosia Artemisiifolia L
    Chapter 24 Common Ragweed Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. Zhongshi Zhou, Fanghao Wan, and Jianying Guo Abstract Ambrosia artemisiifolia L., an annual herb native to North America, has caused serious threat to native ecosystems, human health, agriculture and livestock breeding in China. In this chapter, we review the damages and invasion mechanisms of this invasive weed, as well as research progress in biological control and inte- grated management in China. Finally, we propose research perspectives on A. arte- misiifolia management in the future. Keywords Ambrosia artemisiifolia • Biological control • Replacement control • Biological control agent • Replacement plant 24.1 Introduction The common ragweed, Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. (Asterales: Asteraceae), is an annual herb native to southern parts of North America (Bassett and Crompton 1975). It is one of the most noxious weed in agriculture around the world (Chollet et al. 1999; Brückner et al. 2003; Török et al. 2003; Wan et al. 2005). In China, this weed was unintentionally introduced into southeastern coastal region in the 1930s (Wan et al. 1993), and has raised great awareness as an invasive plants since 1980s. Now, it has spread to 21 prov- inces in middle and eastern part of the country (Zhou et al. 2009, 2011a) (Fig. 24.1). It is a quarantine agricultural pest in China because of its significantly negative effects on agricultural loss, a notorious allergen to human health and impacts on biodiversity (Wan et al. 1995; Ma et al. 2008b; Ministry of Agriculture of China 2006).

Future Directions for Research in Integrated Pest Management Giovanni Benelli Insect Behavior Group, Department of Agriculture, Food and Environment, University of Pisa, via del Borghetto 80, 56124 Pisa, Italy; E-Mail: [email protected] or [email protected]; Tel.: +39-502216141; Fax: +39-502216087. Academic Editor: Michael J. Stout Received: 2 November 2014 / Accepted: 6 December 2014 / Published: 30 December 2014 Abstract: True fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) include over 4000 species, many of which constitute enormous threats to fruit and vegetable production worldwide. A number of Tephritidae are lekking species, forming aggregations in which males fight to defend a small territory where they court females and mate. Male-male contests also occur in non-lekking species, characterized by resource defense polygyny. Tephritidae females display agonistic behavior to maintain single oviposition sites and reduce larval competition for food. Here, how, where, when and why aggressive interactions occur in Tephritidae flies is reviewed. A number of neglected issues deserving further research are highlighted, with a special focus on diel periodicity of aggression, cues evoking aggressive behavior, the role of previous experience on fighting success and the evolution of behavioral lateralization of aggressive displays. In the final section, future directions to exploit this knowledge in Integrated Pest Management, with particular emphasis on enhancement of Sterile Insect Technique and interspecific competitive displacement in the field are suggested. Keywords: aggressive behavior; communication channels; contest; fighting experience; lateralization; learning; mass-rearing optimization; olfactory cues; true fruit flies 1.
