“…Samples of cayenne flower visitor insects were identified based on morphological characters down to the species level or morphospecies referring to various references, among others CSIRO, (1990); CSIRO, (1991); Goulet & Huber, (1993); Triplehorn & Jhonson, (2005); Michener, (2007); Ohl & Höhn, (2011); Nadimi et al, (2013); Sheffield & Genaro, (2013); Dörfel & Ohl, (2015); Gulmez & Can, (2015); Broad & Shaw, (2016); Narendran & Van Achterberg, (2016); Pannure et al, (2016); Pham & Kumar, (2016); Augul, (2017); Engel et al, (2017); Straka et al, (2017);Okayasu et al, (2018);Ramage et al, (2018);Selis, (2018);Li et al, (2019);Astafurova et al, (2020);Fateryga et al, (2020);Handru et al, (2020); BenKhedher et al, (2020); Taylor & Barthélémy, (2021);Yue et al, (2021), and some official web specimen catalogues i.e the barcode of life data systems (https://v3.boldsystems.org), Beaty Biodiversity Museum (https://www.zoology.ubc.ca/entomology/main),…”

The existence of semi-natural habitats around agricultural land has the potential to support ecosystem services by providing resources for beneficial insects. The study aimed to analyze the abundance, diversity index, and evenness of the insects visiting cayenne flowers. This research was carried out in cayenne cultivation areas in the Banggai Regency. Sampling locations were divided into two categories: cayenne fields close to and far from forests or semi-natural habitats. Insect collection was carried out from June 2022 to August 2022, in the morning and evening, using insect nets. The results showed that 16 families and 52 cayenne flower-visiting insects were identified. Lasioglossum sp.3, Lasioglossum sp.5, Megachile sp.2, ?Parancistrocerus sp. and Rhynchium sp. have a higher abundance than the others. The highest Shannon and Wiener diversity index was found in cayenne fields in Tolisu Village (H'= 2.491), Mansahang (H'= 2.216), Salodik (H'= 2.145), and the lowest in cayenne fields in Kembang Merta Village (H'= 1.211), Dale-Dale (H'= 1.112 ), and Beringin Jaya (H'= 1.149 ). The highest evenness index (E) was found in the fields in Lembah Makmur Village (E= 0.9721) and Mansahang (E= 0.9172), and the lowest was found in cayenne fields in Petak Village (E= 0.3975) and Lenyek (E= 0.4405). The highest species richness was found in cayenne fields in Tolisu (14 species), Salodik (14 species), and Petak (12 species). Cayenne fields in the three villages are close to semi-natural habitats. Our findings show that agricultural land adjacent to semi-natural habitats has increased the species richness of cayenne flower visitor insects. Thus, semi-natural habitats are critical to sustaining insect communities in agricultural landscapes.

The invasive hornet Vespa velutina : distribution, impacts and management options

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The Asian yellow-legged hornet Vespa velutina is an invasive alien species introduced and widespread in several countries of Europe and Asia. Its diffusion generates relevant environmental and socio-economic impacts. Environmental impacts include threats to the native insect biodiversity and the pollination ecosystem services. Socio-economic impacts include threats to the apiculture sector, economic consequences for the adoption of management strategies, social concern and health issues. Different options were developed and adopted for (i) preventing the introduction of V. velutina , (ii) early detecting its presence, (iii) eradicating populations at the initial stage of invasion or (iv) controlling populations for limiting and mitigating its impacts. The aim of this review was to provide an updated overview about the distribution, impacts and options for managing V. velutina populations, through a literature review of the published academic documents. Moreover, this study highlights that some topics received little attention (impacts of V. velutina on the biodiversity, on the pollination ecosystem services, on the economy) or require further research efforts (effective control methods for V. velutina ); therefore, future research should be directed towards filling these gaps of knowledge.
