The introduction of alien species in insular ecosystems is one of the main causes of population decrease and extinction of native biodiversity. This is the first time that the arrival of Cydalima perspectalis in the Balearic Islands has been reported, which makes it possible to complete the distribution of this Asian moth in Europe. The box tree moth was reported on three out of the four islands that compose the archipelago. However, it seems to be only established in Mallorca because of the wider distribution of Buxus balearica and B. sempervirens as the host plants.

The solitary ivy bee Colletes hederae has recently naturally colonised the British Isles. It was first recorded in Britain in Dorset, near the south coast, in 2001. By 2021 it had reached Scotland and Ireland. It had spread to Sussex, some 100km east of Dorset by 2004, but occurred only locally. In autumn 2020, to determine the distribution and abundance of the ivy bee in Sussex, we made three surveys of 100 insects foraging on ivy flowers at 57 locations during the female flight period. We found the ivy bee at all 57. It was the second most abundant insect (22%), being outnumbered by social wasps ( Vespula spp. 42%), but was more numerous than honey bees ( Apis mellifera 14%). In autumn 2021 we made a further presence or absence survey at 17 additional locations, and the ivy bee was seen at each one. The results show that the ivy bee is now found throughout Sussex and is abundant. Comparisons of site characteristics showed no significant effect of urban versus rural locations on ivy bee relative abundance. It was, however, significantly more relatively abundant on Downland compared to Weald and Coastal Plain locations, and on chalk and sand derived soils compared to clay and alluvium derived soils. Possible reasons for the success of C. hederae in Britain are discussed.

We report the first record of a non-native species of Antithamnion detected on the eastern shore of Nova Scotia, Canada and assign these collections to the Asian Antithamnion sparsum based on available morphological and molecular data. Two collections of this non-native species were made at three sites in the subtidal (10 m) in August 2021, and it was observed as a dominant subtidal (10 m) turf at an additional four sites from April to August 2022. We describe here morphological traits that match the original type description of A. sparsum and generated rbc L 3P data (851 bp) for two 2021 collections which closely match a record in Genbank from South Korea that is likely A. sparsum (99.9% identity). These collections represent the first occurrence of A. sparsum in the Northwest Atlantic.
本文报道了在加拿大新斯科舍省东岸发现的第一个非本地的Antithamnion物种,并根据现有的形态和分子数据将这些标本归类为亚洲Antithamnion sparsum。研究人员于2021年8月在潮下(10米)的3个地点采集了该非本地物种,并于2022年4月至8月在另外4个地点观测到其在潮下(10米)的优势草皮。我们在此描述了与原始sparsum类型描述相匹配的形态学特征,并为两个2021年的标本生成了rbc L 3P数据(851 bp),这些数据与韩国Genbank中可能为sparsum的记录(99.9%的一致性)非常吻合。这些集合代表了在西北大西洋首次出现的sparsum。

The invasive taro root aphid, Patchiella reaumuri (Kaltenbach) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) of Western Palearctic origin, is a highly devastating pest of taro, Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott (Family: Araceae) in the Pacific region and Europe. Consequently, P. reaumuri is considered as an important quarantine pest for taro growing regions. We detected for the first time the infestation of P. reaumuri causing 34.3% yield loss in the field and 62.4% loss in storage. This is the first taxonomically confirmed record of P. reaumuri from Asia and a global first record of its damage in storage. The northeast region of India, being a part of primary centre of origin of taro, is very rich in diversity of taro, where several traditional landraces are important dietary components of the residents, therefore, the invasion of destructive P. reaumuri may wreak havoc, if not timely diagnosed and managed. This study focussed on the detection of P. reaumuri in a new invaded region, on reporting losses caused by P. reaumuri in its new habitat, and the presentation of an illustrative morphological diagnostic and DNA barcode for its diagnosis at quarantine ports .

Boxwood Buxus sempervirens L. is an ornamental bush very often found in utilitarian greenery. Boxwood is a host for several important mite and insect pests of which the box tree moth Cydalima perspectalis (Walker, 1859) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) is currently the greatest threat to B. sempervirens in Poland. Uncontrolled feeding of caterpillars of this moth leads to complete defoliation of the affected plants, which results in rapid and often massive dying of boxwood bushes. The aim of the study was to assess its biology, harmfulness and analyze the expansion and extent of the box tree moth in southeastern Poland in the last five years. The deepening problem of the rapid and uncontrolled expansion of the box tree moth in the Podkarpackie Province was caused by the lack of a methodology for monitoring and controlling the population of this species and the lack of registered plant protection products dedicated to its control.
