  • Invasion of an Inconspicuous Ambrosia Beetle and Fungus
    1 Invasion of an inconspicuous ambrosia beetle and 2 fungus may alter wood decay in Southeastern North 3 America 4 5 Jiri Hulcr1,2, James Skelton1, Andrew J. Johnson1, You Li1, Michelle A. Jusino1,3 6 7 1 School of Forest Resources and Conservation, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA 8 2 Entomology and Nematology Department, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA 9 3 Department of Plant Pathology, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA 10 11 Corresponding Author: 12 Jiri Hulcr1 13 UF/IFAS School of Forest Resources and Conservation, PO Box 110410, Gaiensville, FL, 14 32611, USA 15 Email address: [email protected] 16 17 Abstract 18 Background. Ambrosia beetles include well-known invasive pests, but most species established 19 in non-native areas do not cause any significant impact. Here we report the recent invasion and 20 rapid spread of Ambrosiodmus minor in the Southeastern US. 21 Methods: We used a combination of a multi-year survey, literature data on fungal symbionts 22 from the beetle mycangia and in vitro bioassays of fungal competition, and extensive field 23 observations of wood colonization patterns. 24 Results. In less than seven years, A. minor abundance has increased many-fold in Florida. The 25 beetle is associated with an aggressive wood-rot fungus Flavodon ambrosius. Joint colonization 26 of wood by A. minor and F. ambrosius results in extensive white rot (lignin removal). The 27 invasion of this symbiosis may impact an ecosystem function previously considered not 28 influenced by non-native ambrosia beetles: wood decay. We suggest monitoring of the impact of 29 this invasion on native wood-inhabiting organisms, biomass degradation and the carbon cycle 30 throughout the region.

María Busch Lugar de trabajo: Insectario de Investigaciones para la Lucha Biológica, Instituto de Microbiología y Zoología Agrícola, INTA, Castelar. Fecha de defensa: 15 de marzo de 2019 1 Estudio de la diversidad de insectos asociados a las plagas principales de Eucalyptus spp., para la selección de potenciales agentes de control biológico Resumen Las plagas de eucaliptos más importantes en la Argentina son Glycaspis brimblecombei, Thaumastocoris peregrinus y Leptocybe invasa, todas ellas de reciente aparición en nuestro país. El abordaje más efectivo al problema de las plagas forestales es el manejo integrado, que combina diferentes tácticas entre las que se incluye el control biológico. El objetivo de esta tesis fue estudiar la diversidad de insectos asociados a Eucalyptus spp., con énfasis en las asociaciones tróficas que vinculan a G. brimblecombei y T. peregrinus con sus enemigos naturales (parasitoides/predadores), con el fin de identificar potenciales agentes para su control biológico. Se investigaron las variaciones en la abundancia de G. brimblecombei, T. peregrinus y L. invasa y la influencia de las variables meteorológicas en diferentes especies de eucaliptos. Se analizó la diversidad de insectos entomófagos y sus interacciones con G. brimblecombei y T.

This species was given from several dozens of plants therein from many cultivable plants, such as limes, grapefruits, bananas, peaches, cabbage, blossoms of coconut, Cycas spp., and even pine cones. Thus, it was accidentally introduced to many other countries with appropriate climate with some plants. It can be considered as a plant pest in some cases (e.g., sorghum). The species quite often occurs conjointly with other pest insects, such as mealybug or honeydew mothCryptoblabes gnidiella (Millière, 1867) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). This paper presents the first report of this North American species from Turkey and a case of its importation to Poland by pomegranates deriving from Spain and Turkey. The mentioned data simultaneously constitute the first records about the species in Poland. Key words: Alien species, introduction, pest, pomegranate, first record, Poland, Turkey, Spain 1. Introduction and Sinev, 2003; Heckford and Sterling, 2004) (Figure The genus Anatrachyntis Meyrick 1915 comprises more 1). A. badia has a reddish brown head, reddish brown than 50 moths species, mostly abundant in the Oriental thorax with mixed darker brown, dark grayish posteriorly.

MLSA based on four housekeeping genes (gyrB, rpoB, infB and atpD) 33 confirmed their position within the genus Brenneria, while DNA-DNA hybridization 34 indicated that the isolates belong to a single taxon.

A total of 98 species originating from other continents have established so far in Europe, to which we add 4 cosmopolitan spe- cies of uncertain origin (cryptogenic). Th e 102 alien species of Aphididae established in Europe belong to 12 diff erent subfamilies, fi ve of them contributing by more than 5 species to the alien fauna. Most alien aphids originate from temperate regions of the world. Th ere was no signifi cant variation in the geographic origin of the alien aphids over time.

[email protected] Symbiosis has played a major role in eukaryotic evolution beyond the origin of the eukaryotic cell. Thus, organisms across the tree of life are associated with diverse microbial partners, conferring to the host new adaptive traits that enable it to explore new niches. This is the case for insects thriving on unbalanced diets, which harbor mutualistic intracellular microorganisms, mostly bacteria that supply them with the required nutrients. As a consequence of the lifestyle change, from free-living to host-associated mutualist, a bacterium undergoes many structural and metabolic changes, of which genome shrinkage is the most dramatic. The trend toward genome size reduction in endosymbiotic bacteria is associated with large-scale gene loss, reflecting the lack of an effective selection mechanism to maintain genes that are rendered superfluous by the constant and rich environment provided by the host. This genome- reduction syndrome is so strong that it has generated the smallest bacterial genomes found to date, whose gene contents are so limited that their status as cellular entities is questionable.

  • Newsletter 90
    Norfolk Moth Survey c/o Natural History Dept., Castle Museum, Norwich, NR1 3JU Newsletter No.90 November 2016 INTRODUCTION With the flurry of activity through the latter part of the summer, it is easy to forget how cool, wet and frustrating the early part of the season often was. Opinion generally seems to suggest that, while the range of species seen was much to be expected, actual numbers of moths were down on the whole. However, one event during that early period brought the subject of moths to the attention of the media, both locally and nationally. This was the great invasion of Diamond- backed moths, Plutella xylostella, that took place at the very end of May and the first days of June. It would be no exaggeration to say that literally millions of these tiny moths arrived on these shores, with at least one commentator describing it as “...a plague of biblical proportion”. Several of us found ourselves answering queries and calls from a variety of sources in connection with this influx. Despite the dire warnings proffered by some sections of the media - and others, our cabbages weren’t totally obliterated as a result. In fact, the expected boost in numbers resulting from these original invaders breeding here, just didn’t seem to happen. In what might have otherwise been a distinctly average season, it is good to be able to report that twelve new species have been added to the Norfolk list this year. Amazingly, seven of these have been adventives, including one species new for the UK.
