ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 Outlines of the talk
Invasion rate: plateau or not plateau ? Relationships with trade Pathways and donor areas are changing with time; a focus on alien insects in Europe Recently established alien species are spreading faster than before in Europe. Why ? Genetic tracking the origin (donor area) is essential Complex patterns of invasion and new genetic admixtures How to forecast the next arrivals ? Effect of climate change probable but not easy to ascertain Climate change proved to promote invasion: The example of pine processionary moth in Europe
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 I- Invasion rate: plateau or not plateau ?
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 Recent progresses in invasion studies A novel, worldwide database of established alien species, including data on first records per country/ continent
45,813 first records for 16,926 species
From Plants to mammals
(Seebens et al., Nat.Comm. 2017)
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 No saturation at world level in the establishment rate of alien species
Global temporal trends in first record rates for all animal and vegetal species at world level
(Seebens et al., Nat.Comm. 2017)
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 The same trend for most groups but inter-taxonomic variations…
(Seebens et al., Nat.Comm. 2017) ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 … as well as inter-continental variations
can be largely attributed to the diaspora of European settlers in the 19th century and to the acceleration in trade in the 20th century
(Seebens et al., Nat.Comm. 2017)
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 II- Relationships with trade
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 Clear relationships with trade increase Values of annually imported commodities vs. first record rates for all taxonomic groups
(Seebens et al., Nat.Comm. 2017) ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017
Focus on terrestrial invertebrates in Europe Globalization is exponentially accelerating alien establishment
Basic data: EU DAISIE 2005- 2008
Update: EU JCR- EASIN 2014 www.easin.org
Rate increase due to phytophages whilst the other groups decreased during the last period
ca. 11.5 new phytophagous species per year since the Roques, 2010 Biorisks 2000s (4.5 during 1950-75)
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 Establishment rate is increasing significantly more in species related to woody plants than in species linked to herbaceous and crops
Europe
(Roques et al., Biol. Inv. 2016)
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 2-fold more establishments from 2000 on of alien arthropods associated to woody plants than during 1950- 1975
465 exotic arthropods related to woody plants established in Europe by 2016
• 405 insects • 60 mites
ca. 8 new species per year since the 2000s 2,1x more Likely related to the recent ‘blooming’ in ornamental trade
(Roques, 2010 NZJF updated)
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 III- Pathways and donor areas are changing with time
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 Accidental introductions largely dominant vs. intentionnal ones in invertebrates
Deliberate Escape Contaminant Stowaway

ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 Identify a pathway: not so easy !
• Intercepted vs established 1995- 2012: only 7 species over 117 established ! o Anoplophora chinensis (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) P4P, bonsais o Anoplophora glabripennis (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), WPM, bonsais o Cydalima perspectalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), P4P o Horidiplosis ficifolii (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), P4P o Paysandisia archon (Lepidoptera: Castniidae), P4P o Singhella citrifolii (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), P4P o Leptoglossus occidentalis (Hemiptera: Coreidae), Hitchhiker
(Eschen, Roques & Santini, Div & Dist., 2014)
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017
An example: Most likely pathway for alien insects related to woody plants Ornamental trade more important than forest products
% exotic invertebrate species related to woody plants in Europe 0 20 40 60 80 100
437 Plants for planting 80 But based on species’ biology… 48 Seeds/ fruits 0 Europe- Total Actual pathway could be 45 UK largely different Fresh wood 3 e.g. hitchhiking for a
17 number of species ! Wood packaging 0 Europe- Daisie UK- Smith et al., 2007
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 The trend tended to increase during the recent period

ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 Another way to identify the invasive pathways ? Looking at the colonization by exotic insects of tree species growing in Europe
Exotic trees planted in Europe more colonized than native trees
The top 10 spp. includes Citrus, Palms, Eucalypts
A number of insects arrived along with the exotic host
Most did not switch (yet) onto natives (51%) (Eschen, Roques & Santini, 2014, Div & Dist.)
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 Temporal changes in colonization tends to reflect the invasive processes
Looking at large taxonomic groups during the last period
Faster increase in deciduous, shrubs, palms
vs.
decrease in conifers and slowering in fruit trees
(Eschen, Roques & Santini, 2014, Div & Dist.)
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 New trends in colonization of native angiosperms by alien arthropods
Increase in: • Fraxinus • Salix • Castanea
Stable in: • Quercus
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 Large differences between families Fast increase in Myrtaceae (Eucalypts), Fabaceae (exotic legume trees), Rutaceae (Citrus), Arecaceae (palms) but decrease in Pinaceae and Fagaceae
per family
(Eschen, Roques & Santini, 2014, Div & Dist.)
A link with climate change ? Most used as plants for planting and not for wood
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 New trends in colonization of native gymnosperms by alien arthropods
Increase in: • Pinus
Decrease in: • All others
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 Temporal changes in origin of the established species New couples: Origin x Donor (imported) tree species
Asia turned dominant as area of primary origin
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 Coherent with the temporal changes in the trade of plants for planting
NA
Origin of the import of live plants in the EU
Eschen et al., 2014 FEM Asia
AUS- NZ
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 Plants for planting but not precluding the trade of wood and derivates as a pathway!
Wrong to consider only this pathway with regard to recent invasions: o Wood packaging still as issue: Aromia bungii New outbreaks of A. glabripennis o Wood trade, too: exotic ambrosia beetles trapped in Italian ports (Ambrosiodmus rubricollis, Cyrtogenius luteus, Xylosandrus crassiusculus; Rassati et al., 2013) o Hitchhikers in commodities: Leptoglossus bugs
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 IV- Recently established alien species are spreading faster than before in Europe
Why ? Arrivals mostly through continental Italy and France
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 It took a long time for many alien species to colonize the whole Europe
Area colonized in 2015 with regard to the date of first record of each alien insect
(Roques et al., 2016)
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 Accidentally-introduced species spread faster than intentionnaly- introduced ones
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 No differences in spread speed with regime
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 Since 1989, a much faster spread across Europe of alien insects after the establishment
(Roques et al., 2016 Biol. Inv)
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 Spread before and after the collapse of the Iron Wall and the EU enlargment
ArrivalArrival duringduring 19501950--19881988 Arrival during 1989- 2004 Arrival during 1989- 2004
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017
For a number of important species > 15 years to invade all of Europe vs. dozens of years before
Explosion of ornamental trade combined with collapse of Berlin Wall and release of EU internal border controls (Roques et al., 2016)
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 Examples of very fast spread West to East I- the American Honeysuckle leaf gall-midge (first record 2003)

2009
2010
2011 2013
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 Faster spread especially obvious for recent aliens associated with eucalypts and palms
Eucalypts: foliage feeders and gall-makers (Ophelimus maskelli, Leptocybe invasa, Glycaspis brimblecombei, Blastopsylla occidentalis, Thaumastocoris peregrinus) colonized most of the Mediterranean countries in less than 10 years
vs.
a much slower colonization rate by Phoracanta spp. (arrival 1969 and 1992) and Gonipterus spp. (arrival 1975 and 1991)
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 An invasion East to West: Polygraphus proximus, a threat for European fir moving westwards with new fungal association
Introduced from the Russian Far East to Southern Siberia presumably late1980s Beetle’s success related to lack of fir resistance to an associated blue stain fungus Grosmannia aoshimae (Baranchikov, 2013)
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 The invasive pathway: the transsiberian railway
(Baranchikov, 2013)
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 Another East- West highly-threatening dispersal EAB progression westwards from European Russia Human-aided transport from the native Far East First record in Moscow in 2003

(Orlova- Bienkowskaja, 2013) (Baranchikov, Kurteev, 2012)
An accelerating effect of the Ukrainian conflict ?
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 EAB invasion is favoring the expansion of a native species related to ash, A. convexicollis
201 Dark gray: invasive range of A. 3 planipennis
Light gray: native range of A. convexicollis
Triangles: localities where A. convexicollis was found outside its native range in 2007–2013.
Bienkowskaja & Volkovitsh Biol Invasions (2015) ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 V- Genetic tracking of the origin (donor area) is essential

ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 Genetic analysis revealed the probable routes Multiple introductions followed by human-mediated dispersal with ornamental trade
COI, mtDNA
Spatial genetic structure with 3 geographic regions (West Europe, Central Europe, East Europe and Central Asia) Bras et al, 2016
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 A similar scenario for the highly-threatening Asia long-horned beetle, Anoplophora glabripennis
Several introduction events followed by a spread within Europe (Javal et al., 2016)

ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 VI- Complex patterns of invasion and new genetic admixtures
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 Bridgehead effect A particular invasive population serves as a source for subsequent invasions (Lombaert et al. 2010)
• Genetic recombinations from different sources • Adaptative patterns and genetic drift Hybrids more The Harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis • aggressive (Lombaert et al., 2011, PLoSOne)

ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 The most reliable scenarios for Leptoglossus European invasion
Multiple independent introductions : - at least 2 in Italy and Spain - Probably much more : NW France, Spain, … Source for all: not wNA but eNA= Bridgehead effect Movements within Europe: flight+ hitchhiking
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 Temporal patterns of invasion by the blue gum gall wasp, Leptocybe invasa, in the Mediterranean basin
Direct trade of Eucalypts with Australia more limited: Exchanges of ornamental plants for planting and/or cut foliage likely responsible for the invasion… from one Mediterranean country to the others
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 Bridgehead effect probably more common than expected in relation with the explosion of ornamental trade
Significant consequences
Important to consider systematically the donor area, not only the native range Necessity to test for behavioral consequences of potential hybridization from different genetic sources and from populations having been submitted to strong bottlenecks
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 Even more complex: Where does come from the Lime leaf miner, Phyllonorycter issikii ? East or West ?

ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 Contradictory high genetic diversity in the putative invaded area vs the native one !
COI mtDNA (barcode fragment - 658 bp)
6 unique haplotypes in RFE 1 unique haplotypes in Japan
(Kirichenko et al., Plos One 2017)
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 VII- How to forecast the next arrivals ?
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 Relying on interceptions to predict the arrivals ? Large discrepancies with establishments !
Intercepted vs established 1995- 2012: (Eschen, Roques & Santini, 2014, Div & Dist.)
The major problem: only A1 and A2 pests targeted Most new species: unknown as pests in countries of origin (cf EAB)
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 How to forecast and detect precociously the next arrivals ? A number of EU projects to develop novel strategies
Preventive warning: Lists based on the pests known in the native range: most newly-arrived species not considered as pests … or Unknowns Sentinel plantings of European plants in exotic countries Sentinel nurseries of exotic plants in exotic countries Survey of arboreta and botanical gardens with European plants Former EU projects PRATIQUE, ISEFOR & PERMIT At present COST ‘GLOBAL WARNING’ and IPSN
Early detection at arrivals: Test of multiplex traps and lures with generic attractivity in ports-of entry French PORTRAP project (2015-2016), proposed EUPHRESCO project “Multi-lure and multi-trap surveillance for invasive tree pests”

ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 Sentinel nurseries taking into account the role of ornamental trade (2012- 2014) 71 insect species in >20 families, most not included in Chinese lists
Selection of the 6 most imported woody plants from China to Europe during 2008- 2011
No treatments to follow the « freely » colonization by insects and pathogens

Kenis et al., in prep.
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 COST GLOBAL WARNING: An attempt to promote sentinel strategies … but there are limits
• A manual in preparation for assigning observed damage to insects and pathogens in broadleaved and conifer sentinel plants (End 2016)
• Many specimens (larvae, eggs) not identifiable by morphological keys (some may be unknown to Science)
• Necessity of molecular librairies (barcodes) but nothing for some taxa
• Mostly foliage pests, no pests of mature trees (xylophagous, seed/ fruit insects, …)
• Role of travel and plantation stress difficult to assess
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 Arboreta surveys another method for identifying potential invaders and for early detection of invaders
- Inspection of European trees and shrubs in arboreta and other plantations in other continents
- Inspection of arboreta/ gardens in Europe
IPSN Conference, Kew, UK, 24 February 2016 A significant example : Survey of rose seed infestation by seed chalcids in major European botanical gardens
Survey 2014- 2016: Detection of 5 exotic species of Megastimus seed chalcids in MNHN Paris and Kew gardens
No alien chalcids outside these gardens yet: Arboretum= trap for aliens ?... and early warning Pathway= uncontrolled seed exchange (no X-rays) between gardens ?
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 VIII- Faciliting effect of climate change probable but not easy to ascertain
Faster increase in colonization of tropical/ subtropical alien trees vs. natives
Link with • Climate change ? • Change in trade because most exotics used as plants for planting and not for wood ? • Both ?
(Eschen, Roques & Santini, 2014, Div & Dist.)
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 The rate of colonization of exotic Eucalypts much faster than that of native deciduous
Since 2000:
2000: Ophelimus maskelli 2002: Ctenarytaina spatulata 2003: Leptocybe invasa 2006: Blastopsylla occidentalis 2006: Ctenarytaina peregrina 2007: Glycaspis brimblecombei 2011: Thaumastocoris peregrinus
A further analysis at the tree species level necessary
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 The rate of colonization of exotic Citrus much faster than that of native fruit trees
Since 1998: 1998- Brevipalpus californicus 1998- Brevipalpus phoenicis 1998- Chrysodeixis acuta 1998- Singhiella citrifolii 2000- Acaudaleyrodes rachipora 2000- Anoplophora chinensis 2001- Eutetranychus banksi 2001- Icerya formicarum 2007- Acharia stimulea 2007- Aleuroclava aucubae 2008- Aleurocanthus spiniferus 2009- Lopholeucaspis japonica
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 The same story for alien insects on palms
Palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus, palm moth, Paysandisia archon, leaf beetles, …
The invasive moth and weevil recorded from the Canary islands or continental Spain from the late 1990s… but without spreading elsewhere 2004- 2007: Colonization of the whole southern Europe
One certainty: the role of Athens’ Olympic games in 2004 with large imports of Spanish palms
Warming up: release of thermal barriers for expansion ?
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 IX- Climate change proved to promote invasion:

Robinet et al. Biol. Inv. 2012
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 Convergent genetic and biological data: Populations not coming from the front edge but from very long distances
The likely pathway: Many PPM nests
The trade of mature trees moving processionary pupae with soil from southern France (> 800 km) (Robinet et al., 2012 Biol Inv)
The same pathway for the invasion of UK by the oak processionary moth (Evans, 2008)

ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 All of Europe and Minor Asia likely to become favorable for PPM invasion in the near future
Probability of PPM establishment under different temperature increase scenarios
Any long-range transport with potted pines from the native range is likely to generate colony establishment

An important question remains: PPM adaptations at the front edge and in colonies beyond front ?
Different genetic markers show that the front population is a mosaic of new, unexpected genetic combinations
Possible adaptations at the front edge - Larger flight capabilities and adapted morphology and carbohydrate content ? - Better cold resistance ? - Advanced phenology ? - Fertility (Egg load) - Nest size - Lower urticating capabilities (no. setae and allergen content) in relation to escape from natural enemies - Increased man/ animal sensitivity in
Paris Basin 2015- 2016 newly-colonized zones ?
ESENIAS Training Course, Sofia, 3-4 April 2017 Conclusions and take- home messages
Invasions are accelerating with globalization without any saturation Insect invaders mostly arrive with plants for planting but wood and derivates are still to be considered Hitchhiking is a serious problem difficult to be adressed Present EU inspections simply focusing on quarantine pests are not efficient New combinations origin * commodity have to be focused on Possible bridgehead effects have to be systematically considered as well as the donor area and not only the native area of the species Possible new associations (insect* fungus*nematode) between invaders and natives to be systematically checked The release of barriers in EU accelerate the invasive spread Relationships between invasions and climate change are still a black box in most cases although recent establishement of species related to subtropical hosts suggest a facilitation. Such facilitation is proved for the pine processionay moth whose actual expansion results from the combination of global warming, the development of ornamental pine plantations, and the increasing trade of mature trees
