Could hybridization increase the establishment success of the biological control agent Aphalara itadori (Hemiptera: Aphalaridae) against invasive knotweeds? [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Intraspecific hybridization between distinct populations could increase the fitness and adaptive potential of biological control agents that often have low genetic diversity and can be inbred due to long‐term laboratory rearing often at small population ...

Effect of humidity and temperature on the performance of three strains of Aphalara itadori, a biocontrol agent for Japanese Knotweed [PDF]
Biological Control, 2020 Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica) is a highly damaging invasive species affecting UK infrastructure and biodiversity. Under laboratory conditions, the psyllid Aphalara itadori has demonstrated its potential to be a successful biocontrol agent for F. japonica. However, this potential has not materialised in the field where long-term establishment of

Climate suitability analyses compare the distributions of invasive knotweeds in Europe and North America with the source localities of their introduced biological control agents [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Climate suitability analyses based on ecological niche modeling provide a powerful tool for biological control practitioners to assess the likelihood of establishment of different candidate agents prior to their introduction in the field.

Leaf‐roll gall formation in Reynoutria × bohemica and its implications for biological control with Aphalara itadori [PDF]
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 2023 AbstractThe psyllid Aphalara itadori Shinji (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) is a biocontrol agent against invasive knotweed species (Polygonaceae) in Europe and North America. Despite an extensive release program, successful establishment of the agent has never been confirmed. The slow establishment of A.

The Phenology of Aphalara itadori in Canada: Timing of Spring Activity and the Onset of Oviposition [PDF]
InsectsThe timing of spring activity and oviposition in the knotweed psyllid, Aphalara itadori Shinji (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), will affect the number of generations that this biological control agent can complete across its introduced range and its impact on ...

Development and verification of SNP arrays to monitor hybridization between two host-associated strains of knotweed psyllid, Aphalara itadori [PDF]
Biological Control, 2016 Abstract Three species of invasive knotweeds ( Fallopia japonica , Fallopia sachalinensis , and Fallopia × bohemica ) cause extensive damage to riparian and roadside habitats in North America. Currently, two strains of the psyllid Aphalara itadori are being evaluated for introduction into the United States and Canada for the biological control ...

The effects of agent hybridization on the efficacy of biological control of tansy ragwort at high elevations. [PDF]
Evol Appl, 2019 Abstract The success rate of weed biological control programs is difficult to evaluate and the factors affecting it remain poorly understood. One aspect which is still unclear is whether releases of multiple, genetically distinct populations of a biological control agent increase the likelihood of success, either by independent colonization of ...
