Incorporating a citizen science approach into biological invasion management strategies can enhance biosecurity. Many projects exist to strengthen the of forest pest and pathogen invasions within both pre- post-border scenarios. Besides value initiatives for early detection monitoring, they also contribute widely raising awareness, informing decisions about eradication containment efforts minimize spread, even finding resistant plant material restoration landscapes degraded by disease. Overall, many actively engage citizens in different stages invasions, but it is unclear how work together across all entire process Here we provide examples each stage process, discuss options developing program biosecurity, suggest approaches integrating biosecurity measures help safeguard resources future.

Abstract The use of semiochemical-baited traps for detection, monitoring, and sampling bark beetles woodboring (BBWB) has rapidly increased since the early 2000s. Semiochemical-baited survey are used in generic (broad community level) specific (targeted toward a species or group) surveys to detect nonnative potentially invasive BBWB, monitor established populations damaging native species, as tool natural communities various purposes. Along with expansion use, much research on ways improve efficacy trapping detection pests well BBWB general been conducted. In this review, we provide information intrinsic extrinsic factors how they influence detecting traps. Intrinsic factors, such trap type color, other described, important habitat selection, horizontal vertical placement, disturbance. When developing surveys, consideration these should increase richness and/or abundance captured probability that may be present. During deploying more than one using an array lures, at different positions is beneficial can number captured. Specific generally rely predetermined protocols recommendations type, lure, placement.

A large proportion of the insects which have invaded new regions and countries are emerging species, being found for first time outside their native range. Being able to detect such species upon arrival at ports entry before they establish in non-native is an urgent challenge. The deployment traps baited with broad-spectrum semiochemical lures ports-of-entry other high-risk sites could be one early detection tool. Rapid progress identification semiochemicals cerambycid beetles during last 15 years has revealed that aggregation-sex pheromones sex often conserved global levels genera, tribes or subfamilies Cerambycidae. This possibly allows development generic attractants attract multiple simultaneously, especially when combined into blends. Here, we present results a worldwide field trial programme conducted 2018–2021, using standardised 8-pheromone blend, usually complemented plant volatiles. total 1308 were deployed 302 covering simultaneously sequentially 13 European countries, 10 Chinese provinces some USA, Canada, Australia, Russia (Siberia) Caribbean (Martinique). We intended test following hypotheses: 1) if regularly trapped significant numbers by blend on continent, it increases probability can detected arrives countries/continents 2) exerts effective, attraction likely previously unknown unexpected captured due high degree conservation pheromone structures within related taxa. 78,321 longhorned trapped, representing 376 from eight subfamilies, 84 greater than 50 individuals.

Global proliferation of nonnative plants is a major driver of insect invasions

BioScience, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 74(11), С. 770 - 781

Опубликована: Окт. 18, 2024

Abstract Invasions by nonnative insect species can massively disrupt ecological processes, often leading to serious economic impacts. Previous work has identified propagule pressure as important driver of the trend increasing numbers invasions worldwide. In present article, we propose an alternative hypothesis—that are being driven proliferation plants, which create niches for specialists and facilitate their establishment outside native ranges where hosts planted or invasive. We synthesize mechanisms plant invasions, macroecological patterns supporting tight link between case studies having facilitated subsequent establishment. This body evidence indicates that a major invasions. Consequently, benefits limiting spread plants include averting insects spillover onto species.

Efficacy of trapping protocols for Agrilus jewel beetles: a multi-country assessment

Journal of Pest Science, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 97(4), С. 1795 - 1810

Опубликована: Янв. 6, 2024

Abstract The genus Agrilus is one of the most diverse insect genera worldwide. larval feeding activity causes extensive damage in both forests and orchards. In addition, more than 30 species have been introduced outside their native range so far, including emerald ash borer planipennis Fairmaire. Thus, availability efficient trapping protocols for early detection at entry points utmost importance. this study we tested whether developed surveillance A. North America were also effective other species. particular, through a multi-country assessment compared efficacy detecting on: (i) green glue-coated prism traps vs. Fluon-coated multi-funnel when baited with leaf volatile ( Z )-3-hexenol or left unbaited; (ii) multi-panel dead adult beetles (decoys). A total 23,481 individuals from 45 caught. Trap design significantly affected richness abundance several countries where experiments carried out, outperformed cases. On contrary, addition lure beetle decoys on to did not improve trap catches. Our highlights that reliable models survey are already available, but there clear need further investigate chemical ecology develop semiochemical lures can efficacy.

Beetles are commonly moved among continents with international trade. Baited traps set up in and around entry points used to increase chances of early-detection incoming species complement visual inspections. A still underestimated benefit this surveillance approach is the high number diversity collected bycatch species. In study, we exploited a multiyear program carried out baited at five Spanish ports their surrounding natural areas investigate i) importance identifying more promptly detect nonnative belonging non-target groups; ii) patterns native richness abundance inside port vs. areas; iii) occurrence spillover events between areas, iv) whether most introduced into other countries abundant than areas. total 23,538 individuals from 206 representing 33 families were collected. The taxonomic 26 beetle testified that identification these unintentionally trapped can provide additional information on ongoing invasions. Patterns highlighted differential ability different colonize Finally, surroundings, while opposite trend occurred for have not been elsewhere. Our study use generic attractants aid species, useful risk introduction countries.

The Database of European Forest Insect and Disease Disturbances: DEFID2

Global Change Biology, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 29(21), С. 6040 - 6065

Опубликована: Авг. 22, 2023

Insect and disease outbreaks in forests are biotic disturbances that can profoundly alter ecosystem dynamics. In many parts of the world, these disturbance regimes intensifying as climate changes shifts distribution species biomes. As a result, key forest services, such carbon sequestration, regulation water flows, wood production, protection soils, conservation biodiversity, could be increasingly compromised. Despite relevance detrimental effects, there currently no spatially detailed databases record insect on at pan-European scale. Here, we present new Database European Forest Disease Disturbances (DEFID2). It comprises over 650,000 harmonized georeferenced records, mapped polygons or points, insects occurred between 1963 2021 forests. The records span eight different countries were acquired through diverse methods (e.g., ground surveys, remote sensing techniques). DEFID2 described by set qualitative attributes, including severity patterns damage symptoms, agents, host tree species, climate-driven trigger factors, silvicultural practices, eventual sanitary interventions. They further complemented with satellite-based quantitative characterization affected areas based Landsat Normalized Burn Ratio time series, metrics derived from them using LandTrendr spectral-temporal segmentation algorithm (including onset, duration, magnitude, rate disturbance), possible interactions windthrow wildfire events. database is novel resource for large-scale applications dealing disturbances. offers unique contribution to design networks experiments, improve our understanding ecological processes underlying disturbances, monitor their dynamics, enhance representation land-climate models. Further data sharing encouraged extend continuously. freely available https://jeodpp.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ftp/jrc-opendata/FOREST/DISTURBANCES/DEFID2/.
