Of Production, Value, Losses and Protection of Fruit Fly Hosts in India Integrated Management of Fruit Flies in India (IMFFI) “Key Informant Survey” of Production, Value, Losses and Protection of Fruit Fly Hosts in India Workplan and Data Sheets John Stonehouse, Imperial College London Dear Colleague, The objective of the IMFFI Key Informant Survey is to obtain estimates, across the whole of India, for the following values:- - Production of fruit fly hosts, divided among the major agro-ecological zones - Farm-gate prices of fruit fly host produce - Losses to fruit flies, host-by-host and zone-by-zone, both with and without fly controls - Incidence of controls, host-by-host and zone-by-zone - The relative incidence of the major pest species in causing losses, separately for the two categories of orchard fruit and cucurbit vegetables Preliminary estimates have now been obtained and are being circulated, and all recipients are requested to comment on them. The idea is that the numbers so far will be looked at by everybody, they will comment, and then the revised numbers will be progressively improved. Please discuss these as widely as possible with colleagues and associates, and derive what, in your view, are more appropriate or more accurate values, and transmit your corrections to Dr John Stonehouse, IMFFI Project Manager, Imperial College London, UK (fax 00-44-1947-841189; e-mail [email protected]). The principle of this circulating request is that the estimates will become gradually more accurate as more and more refining opinions are received and absorbed. It thus uses the principle of Bayesian algebra, in which successive estimates, subjective if need be, are used to refine and improve each other, and of Delphi consultations, in which opinions are circulated anonymously and discussed among a group. The estimates follow below. On all pages columns are in pairs - “Initial” columns contain the values as estimated so far; “Revised” columns are empty and for the respondents (i.e. you) to write in corrections/alterations if you disagree with the “Initial” values. Leave the “Revised” cell empty if you do not disagree with the “Initial” value or don’t know anything about it. Production data are estimated nationwide, and then estimates attributed to production, loss and protection in the major agro-ecological zones into which ICAR divides India. These zones are shown on the map below. IMFFI Fruit Fly Key Informant Survey Workplan and Data Sheets – Page 1 of 1 The estimates fall into three categories, on three different data sheets:- 1. Production and farm-gate value of major hosts nationwide as, host-by-host: a - Production volume for the whole of India per annum b - Overall average farm-gate price - the price received by the farmer in rupees/KG. 2. Production and fruit fly losses, host-by-host for each different agro-ecological zone: 2A - Relative levels of production of each host across zones, estimated by awarding a score of “100” to the zone with the greatest level of production of that host, and then others for the other zones as a percentage of that. The role of the “Volume” values in Sheet 2 is therefore to allocate the RELATIVE incidence of production of different hosts to different areas (the absolute levels of production are in Sheet 1). Volume figures are levels of production by that host in that zone as a percentage of the production in the zone where it is most abundant. So if Zone A has most production it is awarded 100; Zone B may be 80% of A so gets 80; Zone C may be 15% of A so gets 15; Zone D may be 30% of Zone A so gets 30; and all the other zones have no production so all get 0. Imperial College will then adjust these by adding up the percentages, so of the total nationwide production A would account for 100/(100+80+15+30)=44%, B would account for 80/(100+80+15+30)=36%, C for 15/(100+80+15+30)=7%, D for 30/(100+80+15+30)=13%, and the others for 0%. (Enter “0” for cultivation of any host in any zone where cultivation is absent). 2B - Percentage losses to fruit flies, when hosts are not protected from them in any way. 2C - Percentage losses to fruit flies, when hosts are protected by local controls as currently in use. 2D - The percentage incidence of the local controls whose effect is assessed in 2C. “Control incidence” in Sheet 2 is the percentage of production of that particular host which is protected against fruit flies at farm level. Protection from fruit flies may be provided by controls such as cover sprays which are not directed at them, and these should be included 3. Prevalence in causing damage, relative to each other, of the various major fruit fly species, in the two broad categories of orchard fruit pests and cucurbit pests. This is estimated by, in each agro- ecological zone, grading the most prevalent fly species with a score of “100” and the other flies present with a prevalence as a percentage of that. Values in Table 3, in other words, are the RELATIVE levels of damage caused by different fly species to the two major host groups (fruit and cucurbits) in each zone. So, as an example, imagine that in any one particular zone dorsalis is most damaging, it is awarded 100, zonata causes about 3/4 of the damage of dorsalis and so it is awarded 75%, and correcta causes about a third of the damage of dorsalis and so is awarded 33%. Imperial College will then attribute damage to the species by adding up the percentages awarded, so here overall damage by dorsalis would be 100/(100+75+33)=48%, zonata would be 75/(100+75+33)=36%, and correcta would be 33/(100+75+33)=16%. As another example, if in a given zone the prevalence is of 50% of B cucurbitae, 30% of D ciliatus and 20% of B tau, scores would be awarded as “100” for cucurbitae, “60” (30/50) for ciliatus and “40” (20/50) for tau. Scoring is done in this way to allow values to be modified while under discussion without worrying whether they add up to 100; after the consultation is complete the totals for each species in IMFFI Fruit Fly Key Informant Survey Workplan and Data Sheets – Page 2 of 2 each zone will be divided by the total scores awarded in that zone to obtain final percentage values. These values, once collected from all participants, will allow the estimation of losses to flies across all hosts and zones. Respondents are requested to provide corrected values where they consider the values given to be in error, and next to each provisional, current value there is a vacant cell for the entry of corrections. Values which are considered to be correct may be left as they are. Please also indicate where a category, such as major host type under (1) or a major pest species under (3), has been omitted and needs to be added. The map below lists the major agro-ecological zones of India (the external boundaries of India on this map have not been authenticated and may not be correct).

Psyt- talia masneri, sp. n., was reared from fruits of Dracaena fragrans (L.) Ker Gawl. (Liliaceae) infested with Taomyia marshalli Bezzi in western Kenya. Psyttalia masneri is the only opiine braconid known to attack members of the genus Taomyia. Unusual morphological features of P. masneri and its host are detailed. Psyttalia halidayi, sp. n., was reared from fruits of Lettowianthus stellatus Diels (Annonaceae) infested with Ceratitis rosa Karsch in coastal Kenya. Psyttalia halidayi is morphologically similar to several described species of Psyttalia that have previously been used in the biological control of tephritid pests.

C. 20560-0168, USA; e-mail: [email protected] DAVID L. HANCOCK P.O. Box 2464, Cairns, Queensland 4870, Australia Abstract Tephritidae collected from New Caledonia by M.E. Irwin, E.I. Schlinger, and D.W. Webb were stud- ied and identified. The 18 species represented include 3 new species, Austronevra irwini, Ceratitella schlingeri, and Euphranta hardyi, and 6 species reported from New Caledonia for the first time. The total number of Tephritidae from the island is increased from 16 to 25. Introduction D. Elmo Hardy was one of the most prolific taxonomists to study the family Tephritidae. He pro- posed more than 460 tephritid species names, second only to E.M. Hering in this regard, and he named the most valid species (Norrbom et al., 1999a). His large monographic works and cataloging efforts on the Oriental and Australasian faunas have paved the way for continued progress by his suc- cessors. Therefore we are honored to dedicate this paper to his memory. The fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) fauna of New Caledonia is poorly known. Only 15 species were recorded by Norrbom et al. (1999b), 11 belonging to the genus Bactrocera. Euphranta lemnis- cata (Enderlein) was also recently recorded by Hancock & Drew (2003).

  • Honeybees Disrupt the Structure and Functionality of Plant-Pollinator Networks Received: 6 July 2018 Alfredo Valido 1,2, María C
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Honeybees disrupt the structure and functionality of plant-pollinator networks Received: 6 July 2018 Alfredo Valido 1,2, María C. Rodríguez-Rodríguez1 & Pedro Jordano 1 Accepted: 5 March 2019 The honeybee is the primary managed species worldwide for both crop pollination and honey Published: xx xx xxxx production. Owing to beekeeping activity, its high relative abundance potentially afects the structure and functioning of pollination networks in natural ecosystems. Given that evidences about beekeeping impacts are restricted to observational studies of specifc species and theoretical simulations, we still lack experimental data to test for their larger-scale impacts on biodiversity. Here we used a three-year feld experiment in a natural ecosystem to compare the efects of pre- and post-establishment stages of beehives on the pollination network structure and plant reproductive success. Our results show that beekeeping reduces the diversity of wild pollinators and interaction links in the pollination networks. It disrupts their hierarchical structural organization causing the loss of interactions by generalist species, and also impairs pollination services by wild pollinators through reducing the reproductive success of those plant species highly visited by honeybees. High-density beekeeping in natural areas appears to have lasting, more serious negative impacts on biodiversity than was previously assumed. Te western honeybee (Apis mellifera) is an economically important species native to Eurasia and Africa, which has been introduced almost worldwide for crop pollination and honey production1. Except in Africa, most of their present-day populations are actually supported by the beekeeping activity2. Te role of honeybees as polli- nators is currently under debate3–5.

Information was saught on the distribution of each species and their hosts. Tephritidae occur in all biogeographic regions except in extreme desert and polar areas, where their hosts are scarce or absent. Non- European Tephritidae are listed in 2000/29 EC as Annex 1/A1 pests whose introduction into the EU is prohibited. Non-EU Tephritidae are regularly intercepted in the EU. Interceptions mainly occur on fruits although there is potential for entry on other plant parts. Beginning with over 5,000 recognised species, factors relevant for pest categorisation were sequentially used to narrow down the list of species to create a list of Tephritidae not known to be established in the EU yet which occur in countries with some EU climate types and which feed on plants that occur in the EU.
