2006 Annual CAPS Accomplishment Report 2006 Annual Accomplishment Report of the Illinois Cooperative Agriculture Pest Survey (CAPS) Program This annual report outlines exotic pest detection activities conducted according to guidelines issued by the Eastern Region Cooperative Agricultural Pest Survey from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006. The document format will basically follow the outline provided in Appendix H - Annual Report Form. The approved Illinois Calendar Year 2006 CAPS Work Plan consisted of a core program that outlined specific state activities including target pest surveys and maintenance of the CAPS network. Part II of the 2006 program focused on exotic woodborer/bark beetle surveys at high-risk sites in Illinois as part of the National Exotic Woodboring/Bark Beetle Survey. Results of these funded surveys and other survey activities not requiring support are included in this report.

Core Level Funding Activities State Survey Coordinator Name: Kelly A. Cook Agency: Illinois Natural History Survey Address: 1816 S. Oak St, I-Bldg 221 Champaign, IL 61820 Phone: (217) 333-1005 FAX: (217) 265-5110 Email: [email protected] Overview of Results or Benefits Expected and Actual Accomplishments The Cooperator seeks to conduct a cooperative agricultural pest survey program that is expected to result in: 1. Designation of a new State Survey Coordinator (SSC) and restructuring of the State CAPS Committee. • SSC Cook was hired in April 2006. She assumed the role of chairing the State CAPS committee. For the time being, the committee will remain as is; addition of new members will be as needed. 2. A network of state, county, federal, and public entities to evaluate risks, conduct surveys, and manage cooperative pest programs • The Illinois State Pest Risk Analysis Committee (SPARC) is composed of United States Department of Agriculture/Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA/APHIS), Department of Homeland Security/Customs and Border Protection (DHS/CBP, and State cooperators and stakeholders who identify and review biological threats, compliance/noncompliance data and emerging pest risk patterns in Illinois field operations. The committee advises USDA/APHIS and IDA of situations that have implications for policy data so APHIS, in collaboration with IDA, can identify hot zones and use data for early pest detection efforts. It also provides data analysis and options to DHS/CBP to support risk management, planning, resource allocation, and decision making pertaining to biological agent entry into Illinois. 3. Surveys for selected harmful or economically significant non-native plant pests and weeds, including exotic pests, pests of export significance, and/or pests not known to occur in the U.S. • Surveys were conducted by the Illinois CAPS program, IDA, USDA/APHIS/PPQ, and other cooperators. Results of all surveys are reported beginning on page 10. 4. Presence/absence data at county level resolution for target pests and others approved for NAPIS entry. • NAPIS data from all surveying parties was collected and sent to SSC Cook who then summarized and entered data into NAPIS. The NAPIS summary report is on page 7. 3 5. NAPIS data entry and management • NAPIS data entry for Illinois is managed by SSC Cook. 6. Attendance by designated state representatives at state, regional, and national CAPS committees. • Attended the Eastern Region CAPS meeting (page 5) 7. Public outreach, education, and communication • A summary of outreach, education, and communication activities can be found beginning on page 5. State CAPS Committee Narrative The Committee is composed of individuals from USDA/APHIS/PPQ, Illinois Natural History Survey, University of Illinois (including plant pathology and the UI Plant Clinic), and the Illinois Department of Agriculture. Some significant changes occurred during 2006; namely, the hiring of current Illinois state CAPS coordinator (SSC) Cook in April 2006. She replaces previous SSC Helm who retired on June 30, 2005. SSC Helm had been acting in interim roles to ensure continuity of the Illinois program while a search for a new SSC was completed. The State Survey Committee is currently structured as follows: State Survey Committee Members Name Organization Discipline Kelly Cook, SSC INHS-DBEE Entomology Leellen Solter INHS-DBEE Entomology Stephen Knight, SPHD USDA-APHIS-PPQ Federal Regulatory Jeffrey Coath, PSS USDA-APHIS-PPQ Federal Regulatory Warren Goetsch IDA State Regulatory Scott Frank IDA State Regulatory Mark Cinnamon, SPRO IDA State Regulatory Nancy Pataky U of I, Plant Clinic Plant Pathology Laura Ettema-Khan USDA-APHIS-PPQ Federal Regulatory Jeffrey Davidson USDA-APHIS-PPQ Federal Regulatory SSC – State Survey Coordinator INHS-DBEE – Illinois Natural History Survey, Division of Biodiversity and Ecological Entomology USDA-APHIS-PPQ – United States Department of Agriculture, Animal Plant Health Inspection Service, Plant Protection and Quarantine SPHD – State Plant Health Director PSS – Pest Survey Specialist SPRO – State Plant Regulatory Official IDA – Illinois Department of Agriculture U of I – University of Illinois 4 State CAPS Committee Meeting CAPS Planning Committee Meeting, Champaign, IL, June 1, 2006. Committee members present: SSC Cook (chair), SPHD Knight, SPRO Cinnamon, PSS Coath, IDA representatives Goetsch and Frank, USDA-APHIS-PPQ representative Khan, Pataky (UI Plant Clinic), and Solter (INHS-DBEE). Agenda topics included: transition of new SSC in IL CAPS program, exotic pests of concern to Illinois, roles of new SSC and PSS in CAPS, and the 2007 IL CAPS work plan.

A large number of tortricid species have been inadvertently introduced into North America from Eurasia, and many have the potential to inflict considerable negative economic and ecological impacts. Because native species behave differently than introduced species, it is critical to distinguish between the two. Unfortunately, this can be a difficult task. In the past, many tortricids discovered in North America were assumed to be the same as their Eurasian counterparts, i.e., Holarctic. Using DNA sequence data, morphological characters, food plants, and historical records, we analyzed the origin of 151 species of Tortricidae present in North America. The results indicate that the number of Holarctic species has been overestimated by at least 20%. We also determined that the number of introduced tortricids in North America is unexpectedly high compared other families, with tortricids accounting for approximately 23–30% of the total number of moth and butterfly species introduced to North America.

LaGasa1, Patrik Hertzog2, Dan Barshis2 , Kelley Turner2, and Hannah Smith2 Background Figure 1. 1998 – 1999 European Poplar Shoot Borer Collection Sites in Western Washington In 1998 and 1999, three male adults of European poplar shoot borer (EPSB), Gypsonoma aceriana (Duponchel), were collected, as non-target captures in various exotic pest surveys, in western Washington State. The first EPSB was found in the Seattle port area, in a mercury vapor light trap. Another specimen emerged inside a cage placed over leaf litter beneath hybrid poplars at the Washington State University Research Station near Puyallup, in Pierce Co. (T. Murray, collector). A third was found at a tree nursery near Roy, also in Pierce Co., in a trap baited with European pine shoot moth, Rhyacionia buoliana [D. & S.], lure. (Figure 1.) EPSB is a notable pest of many poplar species, Populus spp. (Salacaceae), as well as hybrids in plantations and nurseries in Europe, where infestation of up to 93.7% of growing tips has been recently reported (Georgiev and Velcheva 1999). Young larvae mine leaves and older larvae bore into terminal shoots, often causing gall-like swellings (Bradley et al. 1979). Figure 2. Adult Gypsonoma aceriana (Duponchel) In exterior appearance, adults of G. aceriana (Kuznetsov 1987) (Figure 2.) are very similar to those of the North American cottonwood twig borer, G.
