Publisher: Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke), Helsinki 2015 Year of publication: 2015 Cover photo: Sanna Kauppinen Natural resources and bioeconomy studies 31/2015 Preface Producing sea buckthorn of high quality asks skills and knowledge in every step of the food chain from the field to the consumer. The 3rd European Workshop on Sea Buckthorn (EuroWorkS2014) was held in Naantali, Finland on 14th to 16th of October 2014 under the theme “Producing Sea Buckthorn of High Quality”. Conference concentrated on three topics that were recognized to be current under the theme: sea buckthorn fly, cultivation technology and standardization of sea buckthorn. A special attention was paid to sea buckthorn fly because of its rapid and destructive invasion to Europe. Protective measurements need to be studied fast to get this new pest under control. Also long-term strategies are needed in order to continue efficient berry production, also without pesti- cides. Dr. Ljubov Shamanskaja has a long research experience with sea buckthorn fly in Barnaul, Rus- sia, where the fly has been a problem over 20 years. Dr. Claudia Daniel has studied different control measuments for cherry fruit fly. It is a close relative of sea buckthorn fly and some of the protection methods may be adapted. Since sea buckthorn is a relatively new crop in Europe its cultivation technology is still under in- vestigation. Especially should be focused on more efficient harvesting method, new cultivars suitable to European climate, bigger yields by right cultivation methods and pest and disease control. Dr. Friedrich Höhne is concentrated on practical research in Germany, but he has a good knowledge of overall production situation in Europe. Entrepreneur Andrejs Bruvelis has a 30 years’ experience of cultivation and nursery production so that his theories are worth to try and test in other countries, too. International sea buckthorn society would like to create uniform standard for sea buckthorn and its products. What it could be was discussed during this conference. Dr. Jörg-Thomas Mörsel, a member of ISA standard group, and director and sea buckthorn grower David Eagle gave introduction to the challenging topic. Number of presentations per workshop was restricted to two so that there was enough time for discussion and question resolving. Notes of the workshops were written down and delivered to the participants. In addition to six key note presentations also 16 posters were shown that introduced a wide range of new research. Altogether 67 research scientists, entrepreneurs and advisers from 12 European countries participated in the conference. The other two European Seabuckthorn Conferences were held on 2010 in Postdam, Germany and on 2012 in Vilnius, Lithuania. Presentations of these conferences can be found from the home page of German Society for Sea Buckthorn and Wild Fruits www.sanddorn.net/EuroWorkS . This so- ciety is the creator of European Sea Buckthorn Conference and it coordinates its biannual event. Next meeting will be on 2016 in Latvia. EuroWorkS is organized alternate years with International Sea Buckthorn Conference. The organizer of international conferences is International Sea Buckthorn Association (ISA) and next meeting is held in India on November 2015. The organizers of EuroWorkS2014 were MTT Agrifood Research Finland (the new name of organ- isation is Natural Resources Institute Finland) and German Society for Sea Buckthorn and Wild Fruits. Official conference homepage is www.sanddorn.net/EuroWorkS, where keynote presentations are available. Members of the organizing committee were Jörg-Thomas Mörsel, Sanna Kauppinen, Ekate- rina Petruneva, Sylvia Thies, Ralf Godeck and Heikki Kallio. Conference was financed by MTT Agrifood Research Finland, German Society for Sea buckthorn and Wild Fruits and Federation of Finnish Learned Societies. Hopefully these proceedings give you new thoughts and ideas to develop your own research and production and stimulate you to join sea buckthorn society to know more and share your thoughts with us.

The history/background in development of the SSGA method will be presented along with its advantages compared to other established methods. The usefulness of the SSGA method and how it can be implemented to gain circadian information on semiochemicals and pheromones will be demonstrated with examples of different pest insects such as moths, fruit flies, and mealybugs. I will also show how these volatiles can be further tested for their biological activity in order to optimize effective attractants.

Fighting this disease requires a reliable and inexpensive method for protecting orchards against pear psyllids, which are the major responsible of its transmission. The need for alternatives to insecticides has stimulated studies on the use of plant essential oils and plant extracts against pest insects.

V. 2 Humboldt-Universty of Berlin, Albrecht Daniel Thaer-Institute of Agricultural and Horticultural Sciences 3 Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Research Centre for Agriculture and Fisheries, Centre of Horticultural Crop Production, LFA Abstract: In Germany, considerable damage of the sea buckthorn flyRhagoletis batava Hering 1958 in fruits of sea buckthorn Hippophae rhamnoides L. is fairly new. Up to 100 % of the harvest can be lost and methods available for controlling the pest are limited both in organic and in integrated production systems. In response to this, growers, institutions, companies and scientists connected with this issue joined forces. They collected existing data about the pest, coordinated and carried out monitoring and tested first control measures. This comprehensive body of preliminary work was the origin of the MoPlaSa project, which is funded by the European Innovation Partnership (EIP-agri). The project was launched on 1st October 2018 to develop a control strategy against R. batava consisting of several non-chemically based control modules. In general, EIP-agri finances projects which combine a “bottom-up” principle in the identification of solutions to problems in agricultural through the application of directed scientific research. The aim is to achieve quick, sustainable and practicable results in the project.

TREWICK defining feature of the Hexapoda, as the name suggests, is six legs. Also, the body comprises a head, thorax, and abdomen. The number A of abdominal segments varies, however; there are only six in the Collembola (springtails), 9–12 in the Protura, and 10 in the Diplura, whereas in all other hexapods there are strictly 11. Insects are now regarded as comprising only those hexapods with 11 abdominal segments. Whereas crustaceans are the dominant group of arthropods in the sea, hexapods prevail on land, in numbers and biomass. Altogether, the Hexapoda constitutes the most diverse group of animals – the estimated number of described species worldwide is just over 900,000, with the beetles (order Coleoptera) comprising more than a third of these. Today, the Hexapoda is considered to contain four classes – the Insecta, and the Protura, Collembola, and Diplura. The latter three classes were formerly allied with the insect orders Archaeognatha (jumping bristletails) and Thysanura (silverfish) as the insect subclass Apterygota (‘wingless’). The Apterygota is now regarded as an artificial assemblage (Bitsch & Bitsch 2000).
  • Worldwide Spread of the Ruby Ant, Myrmica Rubra (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

    Worldwide Spread of the Ruby Ant, Myrmica Rubra (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

    Myrmecological News 14 87-96 Vienna, January 2011 Worldwide spread of the ruby ant, Myrmica rubra (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) James K. WETTERER & Alexander G. RADCHENKO Abstract The ruby ant, Myrmica rubra (LINNAEUS, 1758) (formerly Myrmica laevinodis NYLANDER, 1846), an aggressive Eur- asian species with a powerful sting, is now spreading through temperate North America. To document the worldwide distribution of M. rubra and evaluate its potential for further spread, we compiled published and unpublished specimen records from > 2000 sites. We report the earliest known M. rubra records for 71 geographic areas (countries, major is- lands, US states, Canadian provinces, and Russian federal districts), including three areas with no previously published records: Prince Edward Island, Washington State, and the Far Eastern Federal District of Russia. All earlier published records of M. rubra from East Asia, including the Far East of Russia, Japan, and China, appear to be misidentifications of Myrmica kotokui FOREL, 1911. Myrmica rubra is native to an enormous expanse extending from Ireland and Portugal in westernmost Europe across 8000 km to central Asia and eastern Siberia, and from 39 to 70° N in latitude. Exotic populations of M. rubra were first recorded in eastern North America more than 100 years ago. Myrmica rubra is now documented from five southeastern Canadian provinces (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, and Quebec), six northeastern US states (Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont), and one northwestern state (Wash- ington) ranging from 41.5 to 47.6° N. Given the vast range of M. rubra in Eurasia, perhaps the most striking aspect about this species in North America is how little it has spread over the past century.

Archips rosana (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), a highly polyphagous pest species, has potential economic importance on fruit crops. The present study aimed to gather data on species composition of parasitoids of Archips rosana. It was carried out in the years 2010-2011 in organic cherry orchards in the province of Edirne (Turkey). Twenty-two parasitic hymenopteran species belonging to three families (Ichneumonidae, Braconidae and Chalcididae) and one dipteran species (Tachinidae) were determined. Braconidae was found to be the most frequently represented family with 13 species, followed by Ichneumonidae 8, Chalcididae and Tachinidae with one species, respectively. Parasitoids from the superfamily Ichneumonoidea (Braconidae and Ichneumonidae) turned out to be the most effective, and the dominating species was endoparasitoid Itoplectis maculator (Fabricius, 1775). Archips rosana was found for the first time to serve as a host for Pimpla spuria Gravenhorst, 1829; Scambus buolianae (Hartig, 1838); Bracon (Habrobracon) hebetor Say, 1836; Bracon (Bracon) intercessor Nees, 1834; Meteorus versicolor (Wesmael, 1835) and Meteorus rufus (DeGeer, 1778). This information should be helpful in the development of biological control programs to manage A. rosana in cherry orchards.
