Scientific Opinion on the Pest Categorisation of Cryphonectria Parasitica (Murrill) Barr1 EFSA Journal 2014;12(10):3859 SCIENTIFIC OPINION Scientific Opinion on the pest categorisation of Cryphonectria parasitica (Murrill) Barr1 EFSA Panel on Plant Health (PLH)2, 3 European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), Parma, Italy ABSTRACT The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to perform a pest categorisation of Cryphonectria parasitica (Murrill) Barr, the fungal pathogen responsible for chestnut blight, a highly destructive disease that kills trees through bark cankers. The pathogen is listed in Annex IIAII of Directive 2000/29/EC. Its identity is clearly defined as C. parasitica (Murrill) Barr and methods exist for its discriminative detection. Several hosts are known, but the main hosts are species of Castanea and Quercus, particularly C. sativa and Q. petraea. These two host species are present in all the EU Member States and the disease has been recorded in most parts of the risk assessment area. C. parasitica is absent in Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Ireland, Malta, Iceland and Norway. No information is available on the presence of the pathogen in Latvia, Lithuania or Luxembourg. In the Czech Republic and Poland, C. parasitica has been eradicated. There are no recognised ecological or climatic factors limiting the potential establishment of the pathogen in the EU Member States where the pathogen is not known to occur. The pathogen can spread by propagules (mainly conidia, but also ascospores and mycelium) that are dispersed by wind, rain or vectors, as well as via the movement of infected or contaminated host plants for planting and bark, particularly asymptomatic ones. Control methods used against C. parasitica include exclusion and eradication, chemical control, host genetic resistance and biological control (hypovirulence). The most successful control methods of C. parasitica in the EU are exclusion and eradication, and hypovirulence. Potential consequences of the damage caused by C. parasitica include yield losses of fruit and wood, reduction in biodiversity and habitat loss for associated organisms. © European Food Safety Authority, 2014 KEY WORDS chestnut, Castanea, chestnut blight , distribution, European Union, impacts, regulated non-quarantine pest 1 On request from the European Commission, Question No EFSA-Q-2014-00262, adopted on 25 September 2014. 2 Panel members: Richard Baker, Claude Bragard, Thierry Candresse, Gianni Gilioli, Jean-Claude Grégoire, Imre Holb, Michael John Jeger, Olia Evtimova Karadjova, Christer Magnusson, David Makowski, Charles Manceau, Maria Navajas, Trond Rafoss, Vittorio Rossi, Jan Schans, Gritta Schrader, Gregor Urek, Irene Vloutoglou, Wopke van der Werf and Stephan Winter.

(Lepidoptera, Gracillariidae, Gracillariinae) is described as a new species from New Zealand. It is regarded as endemic, and represents the first record of its genus from the southern hemisphere. Though diverging in some morphological features from previously de- scribed species, it is placed in genus Sabulopteryx Triberti, based on wing venation, abdominal characters, male and female genitalia and hostplant choice; this placement is supported by phylogenetic analysis based on the COI mitochondrial gene.

In the course of the entomological survey of introduced trees I have found an interesting stem-miner on Pinus strobus and some native coniferous trees. This stem-miner belongs to the family Gracillariidae and is a new species of the genus Spulerina Vari, of which some described species are known as stem­ miners of dicotyledonous trees. I express my sincere acknowledgement to Prof. C. Watanabe for his kind guidance and encouragement. Grateful thanks are also due to Prof. E. M. Hering of Berlin for his kindness in sending the specimens of Spulerina simploniella to compare with the present specimens, and to Mr. C. Nishiguchi of the Tokyo University for his kind help to our survey at the Tokyo University Experiment Forest, Yamabe. I am also indebted to Mr. T. Yasuda of the Osaka Prefectural University and Dr. K. Kamijo of the Hokkaido Forest Experiment Station in offering the valuable material. Spulerina corticicola, sp. nov.

  • E – Esskastanien
    Die Edelkastanie (Castanea sativa), auch Esskastanie, ist der einzige europäische Vertreter der Gattung Kastanien (Castanea) aus der Familie der Buchengewächse (Fagaceae). Sie ist ein sommergrüner Baum und bildet stärkereiche Nussfrüchte. In Süd- und Westeuropa wird sie wegen dieser essbaren Früchte und als Holzlieferant angebaut. Die Früchte werden als Kastanien, Maronen bzw. Maroni, in der Schweiz häufig Marroni, bezeichnet. Vom Mittelalter bis gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts war die Edelkastanie in den Bergregionen Südeuropas das Hauptnahrungsmittel der Landbevölkerung. Im 20. Jahrhundert gingen die Bestände durch den Befall mit dem Kastanienrindenkrebs stark zurück, erholten sich jedoch Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts wieder. Dieser Artikel behandelt die Edelkastanie, deren essbare Früchte Maroni genannt werden. Zu dem südamerikanischen Fluss Maroni siehe Maroni (Fluss), zu dem italienischen Architekten Maroni siehe Giancarlo Maroni. Edelkastanie Edelkastanie (Castanea sativa) Systematik Unterklasse: Rosenähnliche (Rosidae) Ordnung: Buchenartige (Fagales) Familie: Buchengewächse (Fagaceae) Unterfamilie: Quercoideae Gattung: Kastanien (Castanea) Art: Edelkastanie Wissenschaftlicher Name Castanea sativa Mill. Merkmale [Bearbeiten] Edelkastanien sind sommergrüne Bäume, selten wachsen sie strauchförmig. Sie werden durchschnittlich 20 bis 25 Meter hoch, die Maximalhöhe liegt bei 35 Meter. Der Stammdurchmesser (BHD) liegt meist bei ein bis zwei Meter. Sehr alte Bäume können vier Meter erreichen, in Extremfällen auch sechs Meter. Der Stamm ist gerade und kräftig, die Verzweigung beginnt meist in geringer Höhe, wobei wenige starke Äste gebildet werden. Die Krone ist weit ausladend und hat eine rundliche Form. Über 100 Jahre alte Bäume werden oft hohl.[1] Edelkastanien werden häufig 500 bis 600 Jahre alt. In Mitteleuropa werden sie kaum über 200 Jahre alt, in Westeuropa können sie bis 1.000 Jahre alt werden[1].

  • Chapter 7 Reinforced Specificity of Pollinator Moths
    Chapter 7 Reinforced Specificity of Pollinator Moths Atsushi Kawakita and Makoto Kato Keywords Caloptilia • Cuphodes • Diphtheroptila • Epicephala • Glochidion • Gracillariidae • Host specificity • Phylogeny 7.1 Partner Specificity in Mutualisms The remarkably high level of partner specificity is a hallmark feature of the leafflower–leafflower moth mutualism. Together with the fig–fig wasp and yucca–yucca moth systems, obligate pollination mutualisms provide some of the best examples of highly species-specific plant–insect associations. However, the evolutionary processes underlying these patterns are poorly understood. The high degree of specificity in pollinating seed parasites is often regarded as the fortuitous result of specialization in their ancestors because these insects are derived from endophytic herbivores that are themselves highly host-specific. This chapter focuses on the comparison of the level of host specificity in Epicephala to those of purely parasitic gracillariid relatives as a test of whether mutualism reinforces partner specificity. When interpreted with what is known in the fig and yucca systems, such an analysis serves as a useful approach to determine how partner specificity is shaped in coevolved mutualisms. Parasitic lifestyles, in general, favor extreme specialization to one or few host species because they require complex adaptations to circumvent host defenses and sustain life on a single host (Ehrlich and Raven 1964; Price 1980; Thompson 1994; Strauss and Zangerl 2002). Although specific mechanisms underlying host special- ization may vary among taxa, the broad general understanding is that host–parasite coevolution promotes specialization in parasitic organisms (Thompson 1994, A.
