“…In some of these regions, it has been the subject of a number of introductions, eradication attempts and subsequent re-introductions. This is in particular the case in parts of the Pacific like the Northern Mariana Islands and Nauru (Dhillon et al 2005), although it has also been successfully eradicated (Suckling et al 2014) from regions in which it was well established, such as southern Japan in the 1990ies, using Sterile Insect Technique (Koyama et al 2004). Since 1956 Zeugodacus cucurbitae has been detected a number of times in California (Papadopoulos et al 2013), but its permanent establishment on the North American mainland is not confirmed.…”

This paper reviews all available information regarding the occurrence and biology of the melon fly, Zeugodacus cucurbitae (Coquillett), in the Afrotropical Region, including data on invasion history, distribution patterns, population genetics, host range, and interspecific competition. Although limited intraspecific variability has been observed within the region regarding the above mentioned aspects, there seems to be no indication that Zeugodacus cucurbitae represents a species complex. A checklist of all of the species included in Zeugodacus as recently proposed by Virgilio et al. (2015) is provided.

“…For some pest groups (Tephritidae in particular), (Suckling et al, 2014b) there are acknowledged protocols which are widely used for suppression. For most other organisms, there is a more limited history of responses using benign materials such as pheromones or other semiochemicals, although there are examples including the use of mating disruption (Kean et al, 2015); Table 1.…”

“…This has led to the emergence of private standards with lower than legally required maximum residue limits for pesticides. Lowering or avoiding residues, which can bring an improved market value to produce, can come from monitoring and decision support (Suckling et al, 2012c) or insecticide replacement through the use of mating disruption (Suckling et al, 2014b).…”

“…Therefore, is it possible to note that the most widely developed and tested semiochemicals are found targetting certain families of Lepidoptera, followed by Coleoptera (Figure 1), since this knowledge can have strategic value in countries where particular organisms are not yet present (Suckling et al, 2014a). A notably important pest group responding to attractants is the Dacinae (Tephritidae), which is the basis for a very strong track record of success in eradications of this group (Suckling et al, 2014b). In specific cases, chemical ecology has contributed to the development of lures for surveillance and male annihilation, but also in other ways, such as improving competitiveness in sterile insects by exposure to odorants prior to release (Shelly et al, 2004).…”

Biosecurity covers both long-term management of existing pests and the urgent government responses to alien invasive species which have yet to become fully established. Mating disruption, mass trapping and lure and kill systems all have potential to be used in pest management and against new incursions of certain types of organisms, predominantly moths, and beetles. Straight chained lepidopteran sex pheromones have emerged as a source of potential market advantage in pest management, with trapping systems and residue-free multiple species disruption systems being increasingly adopted to reduce insecticide use and meet private standards. Semiochemicals can also offer new surveillance tools in pre-border biosecurity, greatly improving the chances for successful eradication of alien invasive species. However, a rising frequency of incursions of alien invasive species and consequent rise in official eradication programs due to globalization points strongly to the need for further investment in the areas of discovery and development of surveillance and eradication technologies, from a sound knowledge of chemical ecology.

Advance, retreat, resettle? Climate change could produce a zero‐sum game for invasive species

Climate change will alter the threats presented by invasive species. Increasing temperatures and changing precipitation regimes will likely simultaneously improve the suitability of a region for some species while decreasing it for others. We demonstrate the zero-sum game nature of these changes by modelling the changes to the projected distribution of 13 tropical and subtropical Tephritidae species in cities in Australia and New Zealand using published CLIMEX models. Under current climate conditions, tropical and warm temperate cities were suitable for more species than arid or cool temperate ones. All New Zealand cities increased in suitability, while Australian cities show more variable responses. The changes that occur under climate change are in line with the expectation of species ranges moving into higher latitudes but are also influenced by changes to the precipitation regime. With climate change, the nature of biosecurity threats will alter, the range of species able to survive in cool temperate regions is likely to increase with decreases in species ability to survive in tropical regions. Biosecurity agencies will need to respond to changing geography of threats.
