The Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer (PSHB; Euwallacea fornicatus, Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) is an invasive and destructive tree pest. To assess whether thermal acclimation influences E. fornicatus locomotion performance (i.e., induced plastic responses) that may influence invasion potential, beetles were acclimated to three temperatures (18 °C, 25 32 °C), four traits measured across six (13 18 23 28 33 °C 38 °C) per group construct curves, capturing critical minimum (Tmin), maximum (Tmax), breadth (Tbr), optimal rate (Umax). Substantial plasticity of curves was found in fornicatus. Generally, cold increased the range several locomotor without affecting levels, thereby supporting colder-is-better hypothesis. consequences these responses, using established here, movement rates at-risk orchard area South Africa predicted seasons while considering artificial warm spells. Cold-acclimated exhibited highest cumulative distance traveled both summer winter, warm-acclimated had lowest. Therefore, short-term variation significantly influenced performance, with notably improving dispersal a wide conditions. These findings highlight importance recent history when predicting potential. By integrating data microclimatic conditions functional models, this study offers valuable insights for spread, informing targeted management strategies, refining spatially explicit risk assessments mitigate impacts

DNA holds great potential for species identification and efforts to create a database of all animals plants currently contains >7.5 million sequences representing ~300,000 species. This promise universally applicable tool suggests that morphologically based tools taxonomists will soon not have utility. Here we demonstrate DNA-based is reliable without the contributions taxonomic experts. We use ambrosia beetles (Xyleborini), which are known diversity as well global invasions damage, test case. Recent xyleborine introductions caused major economic ecological losses, thus timely identifications new invaders necessary. need hampered by paucity fauna only moderately documented. To help alleviate deficiencies in their identification, created COI CAD barcode databases (490 429 specimens), over half Southeast Asia (165/316 species). Taxonomic experts identified on original descriptions type specimens. Tree, distance, iterative methods were used assess delimitation High intra- interspecific distances observed congeneric attributed beetle's inbreeding system. Neither two markers provided 100% success but with neighbor-joining tree-based method, 80% both genes. As delimitation, an obvious gap between differences was observed. Correspondence distance-based groups morphology-based poor. In demonstration taxonomy, constructed parsimony-based phylogenies using genera. Although clades resolved or supported, better explanations boundaries light morphological sequence differences. Confident demonstrated 10–12% and/or >2–3% CAD.

Abstract Developing systematic conservation plans depends on a wealth of information region's biodiversity. For ‘dark taxa' such as arthropods, data are usually very incomplete and in most cases left out from assessments. Sky islands important often fragile biodiversity hotspots. Southern Appalachian high‐elevation spruce–fir forests represent particularly threatened sky‐island ecosystem, hosting numerous endemic species, but their arthropods remain understudied. Here we use voucher‐based megabarcoding to explore genetic differentiation among leaf‐litter arthropod communities these highlands, examine the extent which they dispersed more or less coherent manageable distributed unit. We assembled dataset comprising than 6000 COI sequences representing diverse groups assess species richness sharing across peaks ranges. Comparisons were standardised taxa using automated delimitation, measuring endemism levels by putative species. Species was high, with sites 86 199 litter (not including mites myriapods). Community profiles suggest that around one fourth unique single sky third all limited particular range. Across major taxa, endemicity lowest Araneae, highest neglected like Isopoda, Pseudoscorpionida, Protura Diplura. habitat host significantly distinct communities, high local endemicity. This is first work provide clear picture peak range uniqueness for taxonomically broad sample. Ensuring protection sizeable fraction will therefore require attention at relatively fine spatial scale.

The Ambrosia Fusarium Clade (AFC) comprises at least 16 genealogically exclusive species-level lineages within clade 3 of the solani species complex (FSSC). These fungi are either known or predicted to be farmed by Asian Euwallacea ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) in tribe Xyleborini as a source nutrition. To date, only 4 AFC have been described formally. In absence Latin binomials, an ad hoc nomenclature was developed distinguish AF-1 AF-16. Herein, AF-3, AF-5, and AF-7 were formally F. floridanum, tuaranense, obliquiseptatum, respectively. floridanum E. interjectus on box elder (Acer negundo) Gainesville, Florida, distinguished morphologically production sporodochial conidia that highly variable size shape together with greenish-pigmented chlamydospores. tuaranense isolated from beetle-damaged Paŕa rubber tree (Hevea brasiliense) North Borneo, Malaysia, diagnosed smallest any AFC. Lastly, obliquiseptatum unnamed beetle designated sp. (E. fornicatus complex) avocado (Persea americana) Queensland, Australia. It uniquely produces some clavate oblique septa. Maximum likelihood analysis multilocus data set resolved these three novel taxa phylogenetically distinct based genealogical concordance. Particularly where introduced into exotic environments, mutualists pose serious threat industry, native forests, urban landscapes diverse regions throughout world.

Temperate insect species often enter diapause in preparation for overwintering. One such is the invasive vinegar fly, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura), which has seasonal polymorphisms, considered winter and summer morphs. To date, morphs have been differentiated by color size with typically being darker larger compared to 'Dark' 'large' are subjective, however, standardizing an identification process can ensure that morph of interest accurately characterized. The goal our research was investigate a quantitative method distinguish between D. based on body wing size. We reared laboratory using standard procedures, measured length, width, hind tibia length. Additionally, we collected field document phenology Minnesota model's cutoff criteria. A classification regression tree analysis were used determine metrics would be best predicting field-caught Using laboratory-reared flies as known training data model developed trees length ratio frequency present varied used.
