“…The newly established species may feed on plants or seeds, prey or parasitize upon other species and thus affect lower trophic levels345. However, they may also serve as prey or hosts to natural enemies67. In particular, rapidly multiplying, invasive herbivore species present an abundant resource to be exploited by predators and parasitoids that are able to include them into their prey or host range.…”

“…In particular, rapidly multiplying, invasive herbivore species present an abundant resource to be exploited by predators and parasitoids that are able to include them into their prey or host range. Broadening host or prey range may occur immediately in preadapted natural enemy species or can take place after a phase of adaptation6. The consequences of these novel interactions depend on the acceptability and suitability of the herbivore as host or prey.…”

Since its introduction into Europe the invasive Drosophila suzukii has established and spread widely, thereby entering habitats populated by native Drosophila species and their natural enemies. The highly prolific D. suzukii will likely interact with these species as a competitor, host or prey. To investigate potential interactions of D. suzukii with parasitoids, a field survey was conducted across several fruit-growing regions in Switzerland in two consecutive years. Eight species of hymenopteran parasitoids were collected using D. melanogaster as sentinel hosts in field-traps. Parasitoid capture was much higher in 2015 than in 2014 and varied among regions, time of the growing season, and habitat type. Laboratory no-choice assays with the field-collected species demonstrated that the larval parasitoids Asobara tabida, Leptopilina boulardi, and L. heterotoma could not use D. suzukii for reproduction, although the latter two reduced the number of emerging D. suzukii. In contrast, the pupal parasitoids Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae, Trichopria drosophilae, Vrestovia fidenas and Spalangia erythromera all developed with D. suzukii as hosts. Regional differences between strains were generally not evident, with the exception of two T. drosophilae strains that differed in parasitization rate. Thus, native parasitoids may interact with D. suzukii and should be regarded when implementing pest control measures.

“…Liu and Chen (2001) reported that not all aphid species are equally favorable for the growth and development of C. carnea and that the type of prey can influence the survival of this predator. However, Colares et al (2015b) reported that C. carnea showed no difference in developmental time when feeding on M. sacchari or S. graminum (Rondani), and concluded that C. carnea was a predator suitable for the control of M. saccahri. Chrysoperla carnea has the potential to be used as an effective natural enemy for M. sacchari on sorghum because of its great consumption capacity and its ability to feed on various species of aphids, as well as on eggs and larvae of small lepidopteran species.…”

Presence of Native Prey Does Not Divert Predation on Exotic Pests by Harmonia axyridis in Its Indigenous Range

In China, two invasive pests, Bemisia tabaci MEAM1 (Gennadius) and Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande), often co-occur with the native pest, Aphis gossypii (Glover), on plants of Malvaceae and Cucurbitaceae. All three are preyed on by the native ladybird, Harmonia axyridis (Pallas); however, the native predator might be expected to prefer native prey to the exotic ones due to a shared evolutionary past. In order to clarify whether the presence of native prey affected the consumption of these two invasive species by the native predator, field-cage experiments were conducted. A duplex qPCR was used to simultaneously detect both non-native pests within the gut of the predator. H. axyridis readily accepted both invasive prey species, but preferred B. tabaci. With all three prey species available, H. axyridis consumption of B. tabaci was 39.3±2.2% greater than consumption of F. occidentalis. The presence of A. gossypii reduced (by 59.9% on B. tabaci, and by 60.6% on F. occidentalis), but did not stop predation on the two exotic prey when all three were present. The consumption of B. tabaci was similar whether it was alone or together with A. gossypii. However, the presence of aphids reduced predation on the invasive thrips. Thus, some invasive prey may be incorporated into the prey range of a native generalist predator even in the presence of preferred native prey.
