Why Are There So Many Exotic Springtails in Australia? a Review

Penelope Greenslade1, 2 1 Environmental Management, School of School of Health and Life Sciences, Federation University, Ballarat, Victoria 3353, Australia 2 Department of Biology, Australian National University, GPO Box, Australian Capital Territory 0200, Australia E-mail: [email protected] Received 17 October 2018 | Accepted 23 November 2018 Published online at www.soil-organisms.de 1 December 2018 | Printed version 15 December 2018 DOI 10.25674/y9tz-1d49 Abstract Native invertebrate assemblages in Australia are adversely impacted by invasive exotic plants because they are replaced by exotic, invasive invertebrates. The reasons have remained obscure. The different physical, chemical and biotic characteristics of the novel habitat seem to present hostile conditions for native species. This results in empty niches. It seems the different ecologies of exotic invertebrate species may be better adapted to colonise these novel empty niches than native invertebrates. Native faunas of other southern continents that possess a highly endemic fauna, such as South America, South Africa and New Zealand, may have suffered the same impacts from exotic species but insufficient survey data and unreliable and old taxonomy makes this uncertain. Here I attempt to discover what particular characteristics of these novel habitats are hostile to native invertebrates. I chose the Collembola as a target taxon. They are a suitable group because the Australian collembolan fauna consists of a high percentage of endemic taxa, but also exotic, non-native, species. Most exotic Collembola species in Australia appear to have originated from Europe, where they occur at low densities (Fjellberg 1997, 2007). -

Oceanic island biota generally present high percentages of endemic species, and the vulnerability of these species is higher than those of the continents. The objective of this work was to carry out a survey of the Collembola species of the order Poduromorpha in the Brazilian oceanic islands and synthesize a distribution list of this order for Brazil. Our results reveal four new species of Collembola Poduromorpha for Brazilian oceanic islands that may be useful for the conservation strategies of these island regions and a contributor to the knowledge of the order in Brazil.

Al-Sadek Mohamed Salem Ghazala December 2012 Abstract Peas suffer from several diseases, and there is a need for accurate, rapid in-field diagnosis. This study used proteomics to investigate the response of pea plants to infection by the root knot nematode Meloidogyne hapla, the root rot fungus Fusarium solani and the downy mildew oomycete Peronospora viciae, and to identify potential biomarkers for diagnostic kits. A key step was to develop suitable protein extraction methods. For roots, the Amey method (Chuisseu Wandji et al., 2007), was chosen as the best method. The protein content of roots from plants with shoot infections by P. viciae was less than from non-infected plants. Specific proteins that had decreased in abundance were (1->3)-beta-glucanase, alcohol dehydrogenase 1, isoflavone reductase, malate dehydrogenase, mitochondrial ATP synthase subunit alpha, eukaryotic translation inhibition factor, and superoxide dismutase. No proteins increased in abundance in the roots of infected plants. For extraction of proteins from leaves, the Giavalisco method (Giavalisco et al., 2003) was best. The amount of protein in pea leaves decreased by age, and also following root infection by F. -

Its membership consists of those persons interested in basic or applied nematology, which is a branch of zoology dealing with nematode worms. The work of pioneer nematologists, demonstrating the economic importance of nematodes and the collective critical mass of interested nematologists laid the groundwork to form the Society of Nematologists (SON). SON was formed as an offshoot of the American Phytopathological Society (APS - see MS 175). Nematologists who favored the formation of a separate organization from APS held the view that the interests of SON were not confined to phytonematological problems and in 1958, D.P.

Summary. The results from studies on entomopathogenic nematodes of the genus Heterorhabditis Poinar, 1976 (Rhabditida: Het- erorhabditidae) in Bulgaria, conducted during 1994-2010 are summarized. Of the 1,227 soil samples collected, 3.5% were positive for the presence of Heterorhabditis spp. Specimens belonging to the genus were obtained from 43 soil samples collected at 27 lo- calities in different regions of the country. Heterorhabditids were established at altitudes from 0 to 1175 m, in habitats both along the Black Sea coast and inland. The prevalent species was H. bacteriophora Poinar, 1976. Its identity was confirmed by detailed morphometric studies and molecular analyses of four recently obtained isolates. Inland, H. bacteriophora prefers alluvial soils in river valleys under herbaceous and woody vegetation. It was also found in calcareous soils with pronounced fluctuations in the temperature and water conditions. The presence of the species H. megidis Poinar, Jackson et Klein, 1987 in Bulgaria needs further confirmation. Key words: Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, morphology, molecular identification, habitat preferences.

The structure of supplementary organs and buccal cavity are the main diagnostic features for identification of Tobrilidae species. Four main supplement types can be distinguished among representatives of this family. Type I supplements are typical for Tobrilus, Lamuania and Semitobrilus and are characterised by their small size and slightly protruding external part. There are two variations of the type I supplement structure: amabilis and gracilis. Type II is typical for several Eutobrilus species (E. peregrinator, E. prodigiosus, E. strenuus, E. nothus). These supplements are very similar to the type I supplements but are characterised in having a highly protruding torus with numerous microthorns and a bulbulus situated at the base of the ampoule. Type III is typical for Eutobrilus species from the Tobrilini tribe, i.e., E. graciliformes, E. papilicaudatus and E. differtus, and Mesotobrilus spp. from the Paratrilobini tribe and is characterised by a well-defined cap and a bulbulus situated at the base of the ampoule. Type IV is observed in the majority of Eutobrilus, Paratrilobus, Brevitobrilus and Neotobrilus and is the most complex supplement type with a mobile cap and an apical bulbulus. -
Inventory and Review of Quantitative Models for Spread of Plant Pests for Use in Pest Risk Assessment for the EU Territory1
EFSA supporting publication 2015:EN-795 EXTERNAL SCIENTIFIC REPORT Inventory and review of quantitative models for spread of plant pests for use in pest risk assessment for the EU territory1 NERC Centre for Ecology and Hydrology 2 Maclean Building, Benson Lane, Crowmarsh Gifford, Wallingford, OX10 8BB, UK ABSTRACT This report considers the prospects for increasing the use of quantitative models for plant pest spread and dispersal in EFSA Plant Health risk assessments. The agreed major aims were to provide an overview of current modelling approaches and their strengths and weaknesses for risk assessment, and to develop and test a system for risk assessors to select appropriate models for application. First, we conducted an extensive literature review, based on protocols developed for systematic reviews. The review located 468 models for plant pest spread and dispersal and these were entered into a searchable and secure Electronic Model Inventory database. A cluster analysis on how these models were formulated allowed us to identify eight distinct major modelling strategies that were differentiated by the types of pests they were used for and the ways in which they were parameterised and analysed. These strategies varied in their strengths and weaknesses, meaning that no single approach was the most useful for all elements of risk assessment. Therefore we developed a Decision Support Scheme (DSS) to guide model selection. The DSS identifies the most appropriate strategies by weighing up the goals of risk assessment and constraints imposed by lack of data or expertise. Searching and filtering the Electronic Model Inventory then allows the assessor to locate specific models within those strategies that can be applied. -

Surveys were conducted in Idaho, USA during the 2000-2006 cropping seasons to study the occurrence, population density, host association and distribution of plant-parasitic nematodes associated with major crops, grasses and weeds. Eighty-four species and 43 genera of plant-parasitic nematodes were recorded in soil samples from 29 crops in 20 counties in Idaho. Among them, 36 species are new records in this region. The highest number of species belonged to the genus Pratylenchus; P. neglectus was the predominant species among all species of the identified genera. Among the endoparasitic nematodes, the highest percentage of occurrence was Pratylenchus (29.7) followed by Meloidogyne (4.4) and Heterodera (3.4). Among the ectoparasitic nematodes, Helicotylenchus was predominant (8.3) followed by Mesocriconema (5.0) and Tylenchorhynchus (4.8). Keywords.
