“…Others may be inversely-density dependent and require a population knockdown before they are practical. In addition, usage during an eradication programme in urban environments may also face different acceptability from agriculture (Suckling et al 2014b). For example, while insecticides are widely used in agriculture, their aerial use during an eradication or even suppression campaign in urban areas can be problematic.…”

“…Strategies for integration of tactics vary between insect orders (Suckling et al 2014b), although there are several socially-acceptable tactical options for Lepidoptera under development, which have been combined in various ways to target suppression of either gypsy moth or other moth species. Many different combinations have been used against gypsy moth and other pests, sometimes successful but other times not, but with an improving success rate over time if the ongoing cases are removed (Fig.…”

Global range expansion of pest Lepidoptera requires socially acceptable solutions

Caterpillars of key moth pests can cause significant losses in cropping systems worldwide, and globalization is spreading such pests. Failure to control some species can jeopardise the economics of food production. A Global Eradication and Response Database (http://b3.net.nz/gerda) was reviewed on known government-level incursion response programs specific to invasive Lepidoptera. Geographic range expansion of Lepidoptera was evident from 144 incursion response programs targeting 28 species in 10 families. The countries involved in responses to Lepidoptera were USA (104), Australia (8), Canada (7), New Zealand (6), Italy (3), Mexico (2), with the remainder with one programme each (Brazil, Czech Republic, France, Hungary, and Spain). Most programs have been undertaken since the 1990’s. Control options exist for the long-term management of Lepidoptera, but most have issues of cost, efficacy or non-target impacts that reduce their acceptance. Pheromone-based technologies are increasingly available and are generally highly compatible with other tactics. The development of tactics for new targets is a major undertaking, although previous programs can be invaluable. New and improved socially-acceptable technologies are needed to counteract range expansion in Lepidoptera, and usually need to be used in combinations to achieve eradication. The sterile insect technique, which involves mass-rearing and release of sterile insects to reduce wild populations of the pest, has been used successfully against a number of lepidopteran species. Several sterile moth programs are under development. New technologies must have a social license to operate in urban areas, where new incursions are frequently detected. This factor is likely to reduce tactical flexibility and increase the complexity of insect eradication.

“…After initial detection, trace-forwards and trace-backwards are conducted if an interception is associated with a particular commodity. Delimitation surveys are implemented to determine where the invasive insect population is distributed in the new environment [3,37]. Control measures cannot be applied without information of where the insect is located.…”

“…General survey methods may utilize aerial and ground based surveys; observations of the insect itself; the signs, symptoms, or damage caused by the insect; and baited traps [3]. Trapping detection methods for low population levels typically require effective attractants such as plant compounds or pheromones for the intended species [37]. One example of early detection is the mitigation efforts of gypsy moth, which have been successful in the United States largely due to detection and delimitation of outlying populations using highly effective pheromone traps [37].…”

“…Bark beetle and wood borer detection methods involve ground surveys in well-roaded areas, aerial surveys for large areas, and the use of host volatile or pheromone baited traps [5]. Attractants are not available for many beetle species and their detection is difficult [4,37]. Recent developments include DNA-based methods.…”

Abstract:The objectives of this review paper are to provide an overview of issues related to forest health and forest entomology, explain existing methods for forest insect pest detection, and provide background information on a case study of emerald ash borer. Early detection of potentially invasive insect species is a key aspect of preventing these species from causing damage. Invasion management efforts are typically more feasible and efficient if they are applied as early as possible. Two proposed approaches for detection are highlighted and include dendroentomology and near infrared spectroscopy (NIR). Dendroentomology utilizes tree ring principles to identify the years of outbreak and the dynamics of past insect herbivory on trees. NIR has been successfully used for assessing various forest health concerns (primarily hyperspectral imaging) and decay in trees. Emerald ash borer (EAB) (Agrilus planipennis), is a non-native beetle responsible for widespread mortality of several North American ash species (Fraxinus sp.). Current non-destructive methods for early detection of EAB in specific trees are limited, which restricts the effectiveness of management efforts. Ongoing research efforts are focused on developing methods for early detection of emerald ash borer.

The Global Eradication Database documents 811 eradication attempts against invasive arthropods since 1890, in 104 countries. Eradication programs show a greater than exponential increase in the number of programs started in recent decades. In addition, there is a trend of a rapidly diversifying burden of the most severe threats. The species richness showed a threefold increase in number of species under eradication in the last 50 yr, and all taxonomic levels rose dramatically. The increase in number of eradication programs shows that current management measures for constraining the spread of invasive species are inadequate. A similar surge in the number of governments trying to prevent the establishment of new pests has occurred. Increased biodiversity of arthropod eradication targets includes new pest groups with fewer tools developed for management. We argue that a rapid increase in biodiversity of invasive and economically or environmentally damaging organisms represents a substantial and underestimated challenge for managers wanting to prevent their establishment, requiring a shift in research focus to accelerate delimitation and suppression options with less reliance on insecticides.
