Next-generation biological control: the need for integrating genetics and genomics. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc, 2020
ABSTRACT Biological control is widely successful at controlling pests, but effective biocontrol agents are now more difficult to import from countries of origin due to more restrictive international trade laws (the Nagoya Protocol). Coupled with increasing demand, the efficacy of existing and new biocontrol agents needs to be improved with genetic and ...

Experience of introducing the torymid wasp Torymus sinensis Kamijo as the specialized parasitoid against the invasive chestnut gall wasp in Russia [PDF]

Сибирский лесной журнал, 2023
The chestnut gall wasp (Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu; Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) was first found in forests with the sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.; Fagaceае) in the area of Sochi, where it became the worst pest of chestnut.

Adequacy and sufficiency evaluation of existing EFSA guidelines for the molecular characterisation, environmental risk assessment and post-market environmental monitoring of genetically modified insects containing engineered gene drives. [PDF]

EFSA J, 2020
Abstract Advances in molecular and synthetic biology are enabling the engineering of gene drives in insects for disease vector/pest control. Engineered gene drives (that bias their own inheritance) can be designed either to suppress interbreeding target populations or modify them with a new genotype.

Factors influencing short‐term parasitoid establishment and efficacy for the biological control of Halyomorpha halys with the samurai wasp Trissolcus japonicus

Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 7, Page 2397-2414, July 2023., 2023
High parasitization of Trissolcus japonicus on Halyomorpha halys recorded at release and adventive sites. Both species are favored by the same landscape elements, mediating risk for nontarget species. Abstract BACKGROUND Classical biological control has been identified as the most promising approach to limit the impact of the invasive pest species ...

Estimating the potential threat of increasing temperature to the forests of Turkey: a focus on two invasive alien insect pests

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2022
Rising temperature can affect forests negatively through its impact on insect pests. The present study focused on two invasive alien insect species (Dryocosmus kuriphilus and Leptoglossus occidentalis) to understand how rising temperature might affect ...

Host Gall Size and Temperature Influence Voltinism in an Exotic Parasitoid

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Insect phenology is highly temperature-dependent. Higher temperatures can lead to earlier emergence and lengthening of the active period, which enable many insect groups to complete more generations.

The open bar is closed: restructuration of a native parasitoid community following successful control of an invasive pest

Peer Community Journal, 2021
The rise of the Asian chestnut gall wasp Dryocosmus kuriphilus in France has benefited the native community of parasitoids originally associated with oak gall wasps by becoming an additional trophic subsidy and therefore perturbing population dynamics of
