1 Predicting parasitoid attack of potential Brazilian peppertree biological control agents Greg Wheeler Invasive Plant Research Lab, USDA/ARS, Ft Lauderdale, FL, USA
2 Classical biological control of Two key risks: weeds Direct risks: damage of non-target species. Quarantine/overseas testing Indirect risks: agent provides food subsidies to native natural enemies leading to apparent competition and other consumer interactions
3 Brazilian pepper, Schinus terebinthifolia (Anacardiaceae) Classic tree invader damaging native habitats (Richardson & Rejmanek 2011) Introduced for horticulture ~150 yrs bp Bird dispersed Invasive in several regions of the world, North America, Australia, South Africa In Fla & HI one of our most invasive spp
4 Classical biological control of Two key risks: weeds Direct risks: damage of non-target species. Quarantine/overseas testing Indirect risks: agent provides food subsidies to native natural enemies leading to apparent competition and other consumer interactions
5 Search for biological control agents Brazil Surveys of South America, 2005 to March trips to Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay; > 900 sites Paraguay Argentina Uruguay
6 Schinus biological control Aggregation of adult thrips Pseudophilothrips ichini Thrips Petitioned TAG Aug 2014 (approved!) Thrips damage Thrips adult
7 Recommended talk: Friday 12:00 12:25 Dr. Dale Halbritter Expected Impact and Mass Production of the Thrips Biological Control Agent of Brazilian Peppertree Change in leaf number No thrips Thrips ns Leaf number a b a b -20 Low Medium High Fertilizer level
8 P. ichini thrips testing Test plant list: Anacardiaceae - small family in US with 11 genera and 48 species Total no-choice tested: 45 families 99 genera 130 taxa, including 5 Pistachio; 4 Mango var. Tested for F 1 adults
9 Results of thrips choice test
10 P. ichini thrips results - multiple generation tests
11 Classical biological control of Two key risks: weeds Direct risks: damage of non-target species. Quarantine/overseas testing Indirect risks: agent provides food subsidies to native natural enemies leading to apparent competition and other consumer interactions
12 Can we reduce in-direct effects? Biocontrol focuses on simple herbivoreplant relationships but ignores more complex community relationships These complex community relationships should be better understood if we are to predict these interactions prior to release Pearson and Callaway TREE
13 Multi-trophic Food web Simple predatory prey model Native herbivores
14 Multi-trophic Food web Three trophic levels Native herbivores Native parasitoids
15 Multi-trophic Food web Biocontrol introduction Native herbivores Native parasitoids? Introduced biocontrol
16 Multi-trophic Food web Alternate hosts Native herbivores Native parasitoids?? Introduced biocontrol X Alternate hosts
17 Multi-trophic Food web Many native herbivores Native parasitoids Native herbivore Native herbivore
18 Multi-trophic Food web Which biocontrol is most susceptible to NE attack? Native herbivores Native parasitoids?? Potential Biocontrol agents
19 Predicting parasitoid accumulation in biological control Goeden & Louda 1976 Reviewed impact of natural enemies (NE) on agents. Conclude effect of NE unpredictable-inevitable Hill & Hulley 1995 Recorded parasitoids from 40% of agents but not a strong effect Paynter et al 2010 reported significant effect; suggested we: Select agents with species-poor parasitoid faunas in native range Avoiding agents with ecological analogues in the invaded range
20 Herbivores in Brazil - native range Total number of spp Caterpillars (Lepidoptera) 65 spp Geometridae ~24 spp Paectes spp. ~4 spp Episimus spp. ~ 10 spp Thrips 3 spp Beetles (Coleoptera) 27 spp Bugs (Hemiptera) 10 spp
21 Herbivores in Brazil - native range Total number of spp Caterpillars (Lepidoptera) 65 spp Geometridae ~25 spp Paectes spp. ~4 spp Episimus spp. ~ 10 spp Thrips 3 spp
22 Collections of Schinus herbivores - native range Rearing for parasitoids in Q regions Trees sampled visually/shaking branches sites/region Paraguay Argentina Uruguay
23 Herbivores of S. terebinthifolia in invaded range - Florida Florida distribution 15 sites Collections visual & shake branches Herbivores: o Geometridae o Paectes spp. o Episimus spp. o Thrips
24 Paectes spp. (Euteliidae) in native & invaded range DNA reveals many species Brazilian spp.: P. longiformis, P. similis, P. sinuosa, and more Florida spp.: Paectes asper P. fructescens & P. nana
25 Paectes spp. Parasitoids in Native & Invaded range Brazilian parasitoids Braconidae Chalcidoidea Florida parasitoids Cotesia spp.
26 Episimus (Tortricidae) in native & invaded range
27 Episimus spp. in native & invaded range Brazilian: Episimus unguiculus Florida native: Episimus transferranus
28 Episimus spp. parasitoids in native & invaded range Florida Brazil Braconidae Diolcogaster sp. Tachinidae Chalcididae Braconidae Hymenochaonia delicata
29 Geometridae from Brazilian - native range surveys 25+ spp Hymenomima memor Prochoerodes onustaria
30 Geometridae Parasitoids from Brazilian - native range Ichneumonidae Braconidae Tachinidae Torymidae
31 Geometridae from Florida - invaded range surveys - 2 spp Florida species: Florida native species: Pleuroprucha asthenaria Oxydia vesulia
32 Thrips Native range, Pseudophilothrips ichini P. ichini damage adults Feed and distort flushing leaf tips Brazil Pseudophilothrips ichini (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae) Wide range Bahia to SC, Brazil; sea level to 1300 m High degree of host specificity Native range
33 Thrips: Native range Pseudophilothrips ichini Parasitoids, only 1 sp. in native range: Thripastichus gentilei (Eulophidae) Paoli 1931
34 Thrips: Surrogates Invaded range Two spp thrips on Schinus in Florida Retithrips syriacus, black vine thrips Retithrips syriacus Selenothrips rubrocinctus, red banded thrips Selenothrips rubrocinctus
35 Parasitoids of Schinus herbivores in Brazil - Native range South American parasitism rates : Similar across defoliator guilds Mostly less than 20% Thrips < 5%
36 Parasitoids of Schinus herbivores in Florida- invaded range Florida parasitism rates : No Geo or thrips parasitism Paectes/Episimus Mostly less than 20%
37 Conclusions: Episimus and Paectes defoliators are parasitized at same rates in native range Predict ~15% parasitism if released in Florida Geometridae had 10% parasitism in South America but rare in Florida Thrips have low parasitism in both South and North America Predict < 5% parasitism if released in Florida
38 Conclusions: Release of thrips as biological controls pose the lowest risk of indirect effects - little parasitism expected. Thrips also pose the lowest risk of direct effects due to a narrow host range
39 Multi-trophic Food web Which biocontrol is most susceptible to NE attack? Native herbivores Native parasitoids?? Potential Biocontrol agents
40 Multi-trophic Food web Which biocontrol is most susceptible to NE attack? Native herbivores Native parasitoids?? Potential Biocontrol agents
