“…If we assume that parasitoid accumulation on O. brumata is complete, the upper time limit for the process falls at roughly a century (i.e., the approximate residence time of O. brumata in the study region). This would be consistent with several reports of high (but seemingly incomplete) parasitoid accumulation on invasive hosts within a few decades of the invasion Hawkins 1993, Hawkins andCornell 1994;Vercher et al 2005;Gröbler and Lewis 2008;Grabenweger et al 2010;Folcher et al 2011). However, there is also evidence that the accumulation is sometimes considerably faster [i.e., \10 years (Godfray et al 1995)] or slower [i.e., [150 years (Cornell and Hawkins 1993;Hawkins and Cornell 1994;Schönrogge et al 1995)].…”

How rapidly do invasive birch forest geometrids recruit larval parasitoids? Insights from comparison with a sympatric native geometrid

et al. 2013

Two related issues in studies of biological invasions are how quickly the enemy complexes of invasive species become as species-rich and efficient as those of native species and how important enemy release is for the establishment and spread of invaders. We addressed these issues for the geometrid moths Operophtera brumata and Agriopis aurantiaria, who invaded the coastal mountain birch forest of northern Norway by range expansion approximately a century and 15 years ago, respectively. This was done by comparing larval parasitoid species richness and prevalence among the invaders and the native geometrid Epirrita autumnata. We found that E. autumnata and O. brumata both hosted seven parasitoid species groups, whereas A. aurantiaria hosted only one.Several parasitoid groups were shared between two or more of the geometrids. Total larval parasitism rates were similar in all three geometrid species, and comparison with published studies on larval parasitism in Western Europe suggested that O. brumata and A. aurantiaria do not suffer lower parasitism rates in our study region than in their native ranges. Our results indicate that accumulation of larval parasitoids on invasive geometrids in coastal mountain birch forest may reach completion within a few decades to at least a century after the invasion, and that establishment and spread of such invaders is unlikely to be facilitated by release from larval parasitism. Our investigations also uncovered a high degree of spatiotemporal synchrony between the total larval parasitism rates of O. brumata and A. aurantiaria, suggesting that larval parasitism of different geometrid species in the study system is governed by some common external factor.

“…In Spain, P. citrella was introduced widely in the south (Garijo and Garcṍa 1994) and rapidly spread to the rest of the Iberian Peninsula (Vercher et al 2005), and of the nine Aphis species detected in Spanish citrus orchards, Aphis gossypii Glover and A. spiraecola Patch (ϭAphis citricola van der Goot) have recently become increasingly important (Meliá 1982, Hermoso de Mendoza et al 1997) either by their abundance and by their efÞciency in tristeza virus transmission (Hermoso de Mendoza 1994).…”

We evaluated the influence of six different citrus rootstocks on the incidence of the citrus leafminer, Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae), and the aphid species, Aphis gossypii Glover and A. spiraecola Patch (Hemiptera: Aphididae), on 'Clementine de Nules' trees (Citrus clementina Hort. ex Tan.). Sampling was conducted during 2005 and 2006 in a grove of 3-yr-old trees in southern Spain with six rootstocks arranged in a completely randomized block design. Incidence (i.e., degree of infestation) and availability of resources for herbivores were assessed bi-weekly, and in addition, a "flushing index" was estimated as the number of young shoots (as a percentage of total shoots) susceptible to herbivore injury. Our results showed that contrasting factors affected the incidence of populations of P. citrella, A. gossypii, and A. spiraecola on 'Clementine de Nules'. Incidence of P. citrella was significantly dependent on the flushing pattern observed throughout the study, whereas the reverse was true for the aphid species. Among these, A. spiraecola had similar levels of incidence regardless of rootstock, whereas A. gossypii were found almost exclusively on leaves of 'Clementine de Nules' grafted on 'Cleopatra mandarin' (Citrus reshni Hort. ex Tan). Potential implications of these results on pest control are discussed.

“…A study of native parasitoid establishment, in Spain, on newly invaded citrus leafminer, Phyllocnistis citrella, Vercher et al (2005) stated all leafminers found on herbaceous plants are dipteran leafminers and all miners found on woody perennials are lepidopteran leafminers. Vercher et al (2005) says that the majority of parasitoids of P. citrella came from leafminers on woody perennials whereas the parasitoids of leafminers from herbaceous plants did not transfer to P. citrella.…”

BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF Marmara gulosa GUILLÉN AND DAVIS IN THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Biological control of Marmara gulosa Guillén and Davis in the San Joaquin ValleyCrystal Allina Kirkland Peelminer, Marmara gulosa Davis and Guillén, has been reported as a sporadic pest in California and Arizona since 1998. Marmara gulosa has been a persistent pest in the San Joaquin Valley of California (USA) since 1998. Prior to 2000 the only reports of high populations of citrus peelminer were in the Coachella Valley. The larval stages of M. gulosa create serpentine mines scarring the upper epidermal layers of citrus rind, rendering it unacceptable for fresh market sale.Chemicals have failed to provide adequate control of M. gulosa; thus, the use of natural enemies is considered the best long-term option. Cirrospilus coachellae Gates (Eulophidae: Eulophinae) is an effective gregarious parasite of peelminer in the Coachella Valley; however, attempts to establish this species in the San Joaquin Valley have so far been unsuccessful. Other natural enemies may be necessary to control peelminer in this region. The discovery of populations of the tetrastichine eulophid Hadrotrichodes waukheon LaSalle parasitizing M. gulosa in the San JoaquinValley indicates a possible option for biological control of this pest.Hadrotrichodes waukheon (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae: Tetrastichinae) is a parasite of M. gulosa. Newly discovered morphological variations within the species are reported, including the first description of the male. New biological information including preferred life stage of host for parasitism, clutch sizes, male to female ratios and meconial positioning are included. Field studies demonstrated that one to four adult H. waukheon could emerge from a single M. gulosa larva, and later instar M. gulosa larvae were preferred. Hadrotrichodes waukheon is a gregarious, primary parasitoid and may be a candidate agent for biological control of M. gulosa. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
