“…; Hemiptera: Reduviidae), were occasionally found in CRB breeding sites ( Hoyt 1957 , Manjunath et al 1969 , Karim et al 2019 ). The ant species, Myopopone castanea Smith (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) produced 100% CRB larval mortality under laboratory conditions and 45–50% larvae died in the field, 5 d post-release in Indonesia ( Widihastuty et al 2018 , Widihastuty et al 2020 ). Both M. castanea and CRB larvae occupy a similar niche (e.g., decayed oil trunks, organic materials), which provides an opportunity to use it in biological control programs.…”

The coconut rhinoceros beetle (CRB: Oryctes rhinoceros Linnaeus) is one of the most damaging pests to coconut and oil palms in Asia and the Pacific Islands. Adults bore into the crown and damage developing fronds, which affects tree development and yield. The insect is native to South and Southeast Asia and was inadvertently introduced into the Pacific in 1909. It has since spread to several Pacific island nations and territories, causing significant economic impact on these important coconut and palm-growing regions. In the 1950s and 1960s, an international biological control effort was initiated to search for and release natural enemy species. Release of the Oryctes rhinoceros nudivirus Huger (OrNV) and the species complex of Metarhizium Sorokin (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) was successful in controlling CRB in its invaded range. Recently a new biotype of the beetle, known as CRB-G, has spread into the Pacific Islands causing unprecedented levels of damage due to the failure of previously successful biological control agents (BCAs) to suppress this biotype. The re-emergence of CRB as a serious pest warrants a rigorous re-evaluation of potential BCAs and a new search for effective natural enemies if necessary. In this article, we review literature on CRB to 1) analyze past introductions of BCAs and their effectiveness; 2) identify potentially important natural enemies and their geographical origins; and 3) assess possible approaches for utilization of BCAs against the new wave of CRB invasion. Research gaps and directions deserving future attention are highlighted and a strategy for renovation of biological controls for CRB suggested.

“…Several oil palm pests that prey on ant predators, especially Oecophylla smaragdina (F), are Setora nitens and Sethosea asigna, while the bagworm species they prey on is Brachycyrtta griseus (Falahudin, 2011). Widihastutya et al (2020) reported that Myopopone Castanea ants are predators of the larvae of the pest Oryctes rhinoceros. The existence of the same life niche between M. Castanea ants and O. rhinoceros larvae opens up excellent opportunities to utilize these ants as biological agents.…”

Deforestation or functional change from forest to non-forest plays a role in changing ecosystems and species within it. Insects as one of the faunas in it is an interesting aspect to be studied, especially ants. The research was conducted in Nagari Gunung Selasih and Sungai Kambut, Pulau Punjung District, Dharmasraya Regency, West Sumatra from November 2017 to January 2018. This study aims to determine the diversity of ants in the palm oil plantation ecosystem bordering the forest ecosystem. This research takes the form of a survey where the Purposive Random Sampling method was used for points sampling. Hand Collecting, Bait Trap, and Pitfall Trap sampling methods were applied for each plant. Identification of the samples obtained was carried out at the Animal Taxonomy Laboratory, Department of Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Andalas University, Padang. Total ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) collected during the study were 3,046 individuals consisting of 5 subfamilies, 15 genera, and 29 species. The most dominant species was Anoplolepis graciliphes, followed by Odontoponera denticulate and Odontomachus simillimus. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the level of abundance and diversity of ant species is not directly affected by the distance from the forest ecosystem, but it is strongly influenced by the composition of environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, light intensity, altitude, and management of existing habitats and vegetation.

“…At present, the techniques used to control O. rhinoceros populations include pheromones, insecticides and artificial removal for damaged plant. In recent years, the use of natural enemies such as Metarhizium , Myopopone castanea (Gopal et al., 2006; Tobing et al., 2020) and pheromones such as ethyl‐4‐methyloctanoate and 22‐hydroxyhopane (Kumar et al., 2019; Oehlschlager, 2007) have been shown to be effective in controlling the spread of O. rhinoceros .…”
