The extensive use of chemical insecticides to control mosquitoes led to the development of insecticide resistance and environmental health hazards. This caused a surge in interest in eco-friendly biocontrol agents. The present study aimed to explore the susceptibility of different instar larvae of the common mosquito, Culex pipiens Linnaeus, 1758, to the mermithid nematode, Romanomermis iyengari Welch, 1964. Moreover, the effects of R. iyengari on the mosquito pupal developmental time, adult emergence, longevity, female fecundity, as well as egg-hatching rate were determined after larval treatment with an LC50 quantity of the nematode pre-parasites. Different instars of Cx. pipiens (1st–4th) were exposed separately to R. iyengari at concentrations of 1–6 pre-parasites/mosquito larva. Mortality rates of mosquito larvae were observed and the LC50 values were calculated. The estimated LC50 values for the 1st–4th larval instars were 3.18, 2.73, 3.79 and 4 pre-parasites/larva, respectively. Mean percent mortality of the 1st–4th larval instars ranged from 10–94%, 16–100%, 4–100% and 0–52%, respectively. The results indicated that exposure of 4th larval instar to the LC50 of R. iyengari pre-parasites significantly prolonged the duration of pupal development, reduced the percentage of emerged adults and reduced mosquito female fecundity compared with the control. In contrast, adult longevity and the egg-hatching rate did not differ between the control and the exposed group. In conclusion, this isolate of R. iyengari could be a promising biocontrol agent for Egyptian Cx. pipiens. Other trials are required to assess the biocontrol potential of this parasite in field conditions.
广泛使用化学杀虫剂来控制蚊子导致了杀虫剂耐药性的发展和对环境健康的危害。这引起了人们对环保生物防治剂的兴趣激增。本研究旨在探讨普通蚊子库蚊(Culex pipiens Linnaeus,1758)不同龄幼虫对mermithid线虫(Romanomermis iyengari Welch,1964)的易感性。此外,R的影响。 用LC50量的线虫前体处理幼虫后,测定了艾扬加里对蚊蛹发育时间、成虫羽化、寿命、雌性繁殖力和卵孵化率的影响。将不同龄期(1~4龄)的库蚊分别暴露于R。 艾扬加里的浓度为1-6个前寄生虫/蚊子幼虫。观察蚊子幼虫的死亡率并计算LC50值。1-4龄幼虫的LC50估计值分别为3.18、2.73、3.79和4个前寄生虫/幼虫。1~4龄幼虫的平均死亡率分别为10~94%、16~100%、4~100%和0~52%。结果表明,4龄幼虫暴露于R。 与对照组相比,艾扬格里前期寄生虫显著延长了蛹的发育时间,降低了成虫的出现率,降低了雌蚊的繁殖力。相反,对照组和暴露组的成虫寿命和孵化率没有差异。总之,该分离株是R。 艾扬加里是一种很有前景的埃及库蚊生物防治剂。还需要进行其他试验来评估这种寄生虫在野外条件下的生物控制潜力。

Host-associated genetic differentiation in grasshoppers has received limited attention, due to a lack of information on grasshopper-plant associations. The bladder grasshopper, Bullacris unicolor (Linnaeus, 1758) (Orthoptera: Pneumoridae), is a phytophagous species that can occur on at least six host plants within its geographic range. However, the relationship between host plant association and genetic variation of bladder grasshoppers has not been studied before. In light of this, the present study examined host plant-related genetic [mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase 1 (CO1) and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) gene regions] and morphological (antennal length, body length, head width, abdomen width, femur length, tibia length and pronotum length) divergence within a population of B. unicolor. We used two plant species, belonging to different families, namely Didelta spinosa (L.fil.) Aiton (Asteraceae) and Roepera morgsana (L.) Beier & Thulin (Zygophyllaceae), to evaluate variation between individuals collected on these two sympatric host plants at a single locality in the Northern Cape, South Africa. The results demonstrated non-significant host related genetic variation with very low values of FST, indicating a low level of variation. The phylogram strongly indicated that there are no host-associated genetic differences in B. unicolor by displaying limited genomic clustering, whereas some differentiation was observed between the morphological measurements of males and females among host plants. Further studies using microsatellite molecular markers may help to discern population genetic structure. In addition, significant host-associated morphological divergence highlights the need to examine the mechanisms by which host utilization affects morphological features.
由于缺乏关于蝗虫与植物关系的信息,蝗虫的寄主相关遗传分化受到的关注有限。膀胱蚱蜢,Bullacris unicolor(Linnaeus,1758)(直翅目:肺炎科),是一种植食性物种,在其地理范围内至少可以出现在六种寄主植物上。然而,寄主植物关联与膀胱蚱蜢遗传变异之间的关系尚未得到研究。有鉴于此,本研究检测了寄主植物相关的遗传[线粒体细胞色素氧化酶1(CO1)和内部转录间隔区(ITS)基因区域]和形态(触角长度、体长、头宽、腹部宽度、股骨长度、胫骨长度和前足长度)在单色B.unicolor群体中的差异。我们使用了两个属于不同科的植物物种,即Didelta spinosa(L.fil.)Aiton(菊科)和Roepera morgsana(L.)Beier&Thulin(Zygophyllaceae),来评估在南非北开普省的一个地方采集的这两种同域寄主植物个体之间的差异。结果表明,与宿主相关的遗传变异不显著,FST值非常低,表明变异水平较低。通过显示有限的基因组聚类,门图强烈表明单色B.unicolor不存在与宿主相关的遗传差异,而在宿主植物中雄性和雌性的形态测量之间观察到了一些分化。利用微卫星分子标记进行进一步研究可能有助于识别群体遗传结构。此外,与宿主相关的显著形态分化突出了研究宿主利用影响形态特征的机制的必要性。

The use of plant pathogens for biological control (biocontrol) of invasive alien plants in South Africa was reviewed in 1991, 1999 and 2011. In this review, subsequent progress and projects undertaken in the years 2011 to 2020, on both classical agents using exotic pathogens and inundative agents using indigenous pathogens, are detailed. We report on the impact of several previously introduced exotic fungi, monitored during this period. A significant highlight is the completion of 30 years of annual monitoring, from 1991 until 2020, of the impact of Uromycladium morrisii Doungsa-ard, McTaggart, Geering & RG Shivas (Raveneliaceae) on the density of Acacia saligna (Labill.) Wendel (Fabaceae), with declines of up to 98% recorded at monitored sites. Post-release monitoring also suggested that Entyloma ageratinae R.W. Barreto & H.C. Evans (Entylomataceae), introduced when Ageratina riparia (Regel) R.M.King & H.Rob (Asteraceae) still had a very limited invaded range in South Africa, has prevented the weed from realizing its potential as an invader. Uromycladium woodii Doungsa-ard, McTaggart, Geering & R.G. Shivas (Raveneliaceae) has been established on Paraserianthes lophantha (Willd.) I.C.Nielsen (Fabaceae), as has Puccinia xanthii Schwein (Pucciniaceae) on Parthenium hysterophorus L. (Asteraceae). Prospodium transformans (Ellis & Everh.) Cummins (Raveneliaceae) failed to establish on Tecoma stans (L.) Juss ex Kunth var. stans (Bignoniaceae), while efforts to release Puccinia lantanae Farl. (Pucciniaceae) on Lantana camara L. (Verbenaceae) are underway. Of the established exotic pathogens that are classical biocontrol agents, two are considered to cause extensive damage, two considerable damage, and two moderate damage, to their target weeds. Puccinia arechavaletae Speg. (Pucciniaceae), an adventive fungus that is established on Cardiospermum grandiflorum Sw. (Sapindaceae) following an unknown path of introduction, is proving to be a damaging agent and the implications of its presence in the country are discussed. Early season augmentation of Puccinia eupatorii Dietel (Pucciniaceae) on Campuloclinium macrocephalum (Less.) DC. (Asteraceae) was tested to determine whether damage could be increased, but no difference in the rust's incidence and severity was evident between augmented and naturally infected plants at the end of the growth season. The identity of the indigenous fungus registered as Stumpout®, for the control of coppice growth after felling of Acacia mearnsii De Wild. (Fabaceae), was confirmed as Cylindrobasidium torrendii (Bres.) Hjortstam (Physalacriaceae) rather than C. laeve (Pers.: Fr.) Chamuris, as previously thought. The application of another indigenous fungus, Colletotrichum acutatum J.H. Simmonds (Glomerellaceae), by means of helicopter flights has facilitated its establishment on Hakea sericea Schrad. & J.C. Wendl (Proteaceae), in inaccessible mountainous terrain. For registration purposes, toxicity testing (oral rat LD50) of thes
1991年、1999年和2011年审查了南非利用植物病原体对入侵外来植物进行生物控制(生物控制)的情况。在这篇综述中,详细介绍了2011年至2020年在使用外来病原体的经典制剂和使用本土病原体的淹没制剂方面的后续进展和项目。我们报告了在此期间监测的几种先前引入的外来真菌的影响。一个重要的亮点是,从1991年到2020年,完成了30年的年度监测,监测点记录了莫里斯尾枝藻Doungsa-ard、McTaggart、Geering和RG Shivas(Raveneliaceae)对唾液Acacia saligna(Labill.)Wendel(Fabaceae)密度的影响,下降幅度高达98%。释放后的监测还表明,当尖角藻(Regel)R.M.King和H.Rob(Astraceae)在南非的入侵范围仍然非常有限时引入的老年虫R.W.Barreto和H.C.Evans(钩虫科)阻止了这种杂草发挥其入侵者的潜力。Uromycladium woodii Doungsa ard,McTaggart,Geering&R.G.Shivas(Raveneliaceae。Prospordum transformans(Ellis&Everh。)Cummins(Raveneliaceae)未能在Tecoma stans(L.)Juss ex Kunth var.stans(Bignonaceae)上建立,同时努力释放兰塔普契尼。马鞭草科正在进行中。在已确定的作为经典生物防治剂的外来病原体中,有两种被认为对其目标杂草造成广泛损害,两种相当大的损害,以及两种中度损害。Puccinia are chavaletae Speg。(Pucciniaceae),一种在桔梗上建立的外来真菌。(Sapindaceae)的引入途径未知,被证明是一种破坏剂,并讨论了其在该国存在的影响。欧洲蒲草科(Puccinia eupatorii Dietel)在大角星(Campuloclinium macrochalum(Less.)DC上的早季扩增。(菊科)进行了测试,以确定损伤是否会增加,但在生长季节结束时,增强型和自然感染型植物之间的铁锈发生率和严重程度没有明显差异。注册为Stumpout®的本土真菌的身份,用于控制砍伐Acacia mearnsii De Wild后的矮林生长。(Fabaceae),被确认为Cylindrobasidium torrendii(Bres.)Hjortstam(Physalacriaceae),而不是之前认为的C.laeve(Pers.:Fr.)Chamuris。另一种本土真菌尖孢炭疽菌J.H.Simmonds(Glomerellaceae)通过直升机飞行的方式应用,促进了其在蚕桑Hakea sercea Schrad上的建立J.C.Wendl(蛋白质科),在人迹罕至的山区。出于注册目的,需要对这些本土真菌进行毒性测试(大鼠口服LD50)。torrendii Cylindrobasidium、C.acutatum和Pseudolagarobasidium acaciicola Gins(Phanerochaethaceae)的致死剂量,后者用于对抗Acacia cyclops G.Don。(Fabaceae),超过2000 mg kg–1体重,因此所有三种真菌都被认为是安全的。

Biological Control of Three Eupatorieae Weeds in South Africa: 2011–2020 南非三种Eupatorieae杂草的生物防治:2011-2020

Several weed species within the asteraceous tribe Eupatorieae, all with a neotropical origin, are invasive in South Africa. Three of these form the subject of this review paper: Chromolaena odorata (triffid weed), Campuloclinium macrocephalum (pompom weed), and Ageratina adenophora (crofton weed). The three species invade different habitats and regions, and all have biological control (biocontrol) agents established on them. Ageratina adenophora was the first of these weeds to be subjected to a biocontrol programme in South Africa, with two agents (an insect and a pathogen) released and established in the 1980s. Two biocontrol agents were established on C. odorata in the early 2000s, and a third one, first released in 2011, has persisted for at least eight years – all three are insects. One insect biocontrol agent was established on C. macrocephalum in 2013, although a pathogen had appeared on the weed several years earlier. Chromolaena odorata and A. adenophora are under substantial control in certain habitats, but negligible in others. The biocontrol agent on C. macrocephalum released in 2013 is causing significant damage to the plant where it has established well. Several other biocontrol agents have been released on C. odorata but have failed to establish. For all three weedy Eupatorieae, it is considered desirable to establish additional biocontrol agents, so as to increase the level of control of these priority targets in South Africa. An additional biocontrol agent has already been approved for release against C. macrocephalum, while one is close to being approved for C. odorata. There are several possibilities for additional biocontrol agents for A. adenophora.
紫苑族Eupatorieae中的几种杂草都起源于新热带,它们入侵南非。其中三种构成了这篇综述论文的主题:臭蝴蝶兰(三叶草)、大蓬花(蓬蓬草)和紫茎泽兰(crofton草)。这三个物种入侵不同的栖息地和地区,并且都有生物控制剂。紫茎泽兰是南非第一个接受生物防治计划的杂草,20世纪80年代释放并建立了两种药剂(一种昆虫和一种病原体)。21世纪初,两种生物防治剂被建立在C.odorata身上,第三种于2011年首次发布,已经持续了至少八年——这三种都是昆虫。2013年,一种昆虫生物防治剂被建立在大头草上,尽管几年前就有病原体出现在这种杂草上。臭蝴蝶兰和紫茎紫茎在某些栖息地受到很大的控制,但在其他栖息地可以忽略不计。2013年释放的对C.macronephalum的生物控制剂对其生长良好的植物造成了重大损害。其他几种生物防治剂已被释放到C.odorata身上,但未能确定。对于所有三种杂草Eupatorieae,人们认为最好建立额外的生物防治剂,以提高南非对这些优先目标的控制水平。另外一种生物防治剂已经被批准用于释放对抗大头C.macrochalum,而一种即将被批准用于对付气味C.odorata。有几种可能性可以为紫茎泽兰提供额外的生物防治剂。

Ageratina adenophora was the first of these weeds to be subjected to a biocontrol programme in South Africa, with two agents (an insect and a pathogen) released and established in the 1980s. Two biocontrol agents were established on C. odorata in the early 2000s, and a third one, first released in 2011, has persisted for at least eight years – all three are insects. One insect biocontrol agent was established on C. macrocephalum in 2013, although a pathogen had appeared on the weed several years earlier. Chromolaena odorata and A. adenophora are under substantial control in certain habitats, but negligible in others. The biocontrol agent on C. macrocephalum released in 2013 is causing significant damage to the plant where it has established well. Several other biocontrol agents have been released on C. odorata but have failed to establish. For all three weedy Eupatorieae, it is considered desirable to establish additional biocontrol agents, so as to increase the level of control of these priority targets in South Africa. An additional biocontrol agent has already been approved for release against C. macrocephalum, while one is close to being approved for C. odorata. There are several possibilities for additional biocontrol agents for A. adenophora.","PeriodicalId":7566,"journal":{"name":"African Entomology","volume":"29 1","pages":"742 - 767"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44204076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A catalogue of natural enemies considered and released as biological control (biocontrol) agents against invasive alien plants in South Africa has been maintained for many years, and is updated here to include the period 2011-2020. The current catalogue reorders and separates data for exotic natural enemies that have been approved as classical biocontrol agents, from those on exotic natural enemies that have been considered but not released, exotic natural enemies that have been inadvertently introduced into South Africa with host plants that include target weed species, and locally sourced natural enemies that have been considered as bioherbicides. Ninety weed species have been targeted for biocontrol, with 310 exotic natural enemies considered, 136 classified as de jure or de facto classical biocontrol agents, and 92 established in the field on 66 target weeds. Ten of these species were found to have established independently of being released while research on them was in progress. An additional six exotic species have been found established on target weeds, and 11 locally sourced natural enemies have been considered for inundative or augmentative biocontrol, of which two have been developed commercially. Of the exotic natural enemies deliberately established, 35% inflict extensive damage to their host plants. Insects make up the majority of biocontrol agents (90%), with the balance of 8% being fungi and 2%, mites. Both establishment rates and damage levels vary between taxa. Five biocontrol agents previously considered established, have not been found in the field for several years and their persistence is in doubt. Outcomes of biocontrol at a plant population level are indicated for 54 target weeds on which agents have been established for over a decade. The increase in numbers of target weeds considered, as well as biocontrol agents released, over the past decade, has been enabled by continued generous funding and an efficient release-approval process.
在南非,作为生物防治(生物防治)剂考虑并释放的天敌目录已保存多年,并在此更新,以包括2011-2020年期间。目前的目录对已被批准为经典生物防治剂的外来天敌的数据进行了重新排序和分离,从那些已被考虑但尚未释放的外来天敌,无意中与包括目标杂草物种在内的寄主植物一起引入南非的外来天敌,以及被认为是生物除草剂的本地来源的外来天敌。90种杂草已被确定为生物防治目标,其中310种为外来天敌,136种被列为法律上或事实上的经典生物防治剂,92种已在66种目标杂草上确定。研究人员发现,其中10个物种是在对它们进行研究时独立生存下来的。在目标杂草上发现了另外6种外来物种,并考虑了11种当地来源的天敌用于淹没或增强型生物防治,其中两种已被商业化开发。在故意建立的外来天敌中,35%对其寄主植物造成了广泛的破坏。昆虫占生物防治剂的大多数(90%),真菌占8%,螨占2%。不同分类群的建立率和损害程度各不相同。有五种以前被认为已经确定的生物防治剂,多年来一直没有在实地发现,它们的持久性值得怀疑。在植物种群水平上对54种目标杂草进行生物防治的结果表明,这些杂草已经建立了十多年的药剂。在过去十年中,由于持续的慷慨资助和有效的释放审批程序,所考虑的目标杂草数量以及释放的生物防治剂的数量都有所增加。

Historically, invasive alien grasses have not been considered a major threat in South Africa, and as a result, very few resources are allocated to their management. However, there is an increasing awareness of the severe environmental and socio-economic impacts of invasive grasses and the need for appropriate management options for their control. South Africa has a long history of successfully implementing weed biological control (biocontrol) to manage invasive alien plants, however much like the rest of the world, invasive grasses do not feature prominently as targets for biocontrol. The implementation and early indicators of success of the few grass biocontrol programmes globally and the finding that grasses can be suitable targets, suggests that biocontrol could start to play an important role in managing invasive alien grasses in South Africa. In this paper, we evaluated the prospects for implementing novel grass biocontrol projects over the next ten years against 48 grasses that have been determined to represent the highest risk based on their current environmental and economic impacts. The grasses were ranked in order of priority using the Biological Control Target Selection system. Five grasses were prioritised – Arundo donax L., Cortaderia jubata (Lem.) Stapf, Cortaderia selloana (Schult & Schult) Asch. & Graebn., Nassella trichotoma (Hack. ex Arech.), and Glyceria maxima (Hartm.) Holmb., based on attributes that make them suitable biocontrol targets. Arundo donax has already been the target of a biocontrol programme in South Africa. We reviewed the progress made towards the biocontrol of this species and discuss how this programme could be developed going forward. Moreover, we outline how biocontrol could be implemented to manage the remaining four high-priority targets. While biocontrol of grasses is not without its challenges (e.g. unresolved taxonomies, conflicts of interest and a lack of supporting legislation), South Africa has an opportunity to learn from existing global research and begin to invest in biocontrol of high-priority species that are in most need of control.
从历史上看,入侵的外来草在南非并没有被视为主要威胁,因此,很少有资源被分配给它们的管理。然而,人们越来越意识到入侵草对环境和社会经济的严重影响,以及对其进行控制的适当管理选择的必要性。南非在成功实施杂草生物控制(生物控制)以管理入侵外来植物方面有着悠久的历史,但与世界其他地区一样,入侵草并不是生物控制的主要目标。全球为数不多的草生物防治计划的实施和早期成功指标,以及草可能成为合适目标的发现,表明生物防治可能开始在管理南非入侵外来草方面发挥重要作用。在本文中,我们评估了在未来十年内针对48种草实施新型草生物防治项目的前景,这些草根据其当前的环境和经济影响被确定为风险最高。使用生物控制目标选择系统按优先级对草进行排序。五种草被优先考虑——Arundo donax L.、Cortaderia jubata(Lem.)Stapf、Cortadera selloana(Schult&Schult)AschGraebn。,毛瘤Nassella trichotoma(Hack.ex Arech.)和最大甘油(Hartm.Holmb.)。,基于使其成为合适的生物控制目标的属性。Arundo donax已经成为南非生物防治计划的目标。我们回顾了该物种生物控制方面的进展,并讨论了如何制定该计划。此外,我们概述了如何实施生物控制,以管理其余四个高度优先的目标。虽然草的生物控制并非没有挑战(例如未解决的分类法、利益冲突和缺乏支持性立法),但南非有机会从现有的全球研究中学习,并开始投资于最需要控制的高度优先物种的生物控制。

Prospects for the Biological Control of Northern Temperate Weeds in South Africa 南非北温带杂草生物防治展望

The Northern Temperate Weeds programme is a novel biological control (biocontrol) programme started in 2017, with the aim of reducing the impacts of northern temperate weeds that are common, widespread and problematic in the high elevation grasslands of South Africa. As these regions are the most important systems for water security, providing nearly 50% of all water run-off, it is surprising that these species were not targeted for biocontrol previously. Thus far, research has focused on biocontrol feasibility as well as ecological and socio-economic impact studies on several northern temperate weeds, including Pyracantha angustifolia (Franch.) C.K.Schneid, Rosa rubiginosa L., Cotoneaster spp., Rubus spp., (all Rosaceae) and Salix spp. (Salicaceae). In addition, research conducted in the USA and Europe on the natural enemies associated with two of these species, Robinia pseudoacacia L. and Gleditsia triacanthos L. (both Fabaceae and native to the USA), have provided South African researchers with the necessary foundation to initiate programmes against these weeds. Research in South Africa is currently focused on pre-release studies on R. pseudoacacia, using the leaf miner Odontota dorsalis Thunberg (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) and the black locust midge Obolodiplosis robiniae Haldeman (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), and on G. triacanthos, using a seed bruchid, Amblycerus robiniae F. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). Progress with these programmes and potential constraints that may limit success, are discussed.
北温带杂草计划是一项新的生物控制(生物控制)计划,始于2017年,旨在减少南非高海拔草原上常见、广泛且有问题的北温带杂草的影响。由于这些地区是水安全最重要的系统,提供了近50%的径流,因此令人惊讶的是,这些物种以前没有成为生物控制的目标。到目前为止,研究的重点是对几种北温带杂草的生物防治可行性以及生态和社会经济影响研究,包括火棘(Pyracantha angustifolia)C.K.Schneid、玫瑰(Rosa rubiginosa L.)、紫檀(Cotonaster spp.)、悬钩子(Rubus spp.)(所有蔷薇科)和柳(Salicaceae)。此外,在美国和欧洲对其中两个物种Robinia pseudoacia L.和Gleditsia triacanthos L.(均为豆科植物,原产于美国)的天敌进行的研究为南非研究人员启动针对这些杂草的计划提供了必要的基础。目前,南非的研究重点是利用潜叶蛛Odontota dorsalis Thunberg(鞘翅目:金花虫科)和黑蝗虫吸浆虫Obolodiplosis robinae Haldeman(Diptera:Cecidomyiidae),以及利用种子bruchid Amblycerus robinae F。讨论了这些方案的进展情况以及可能限制成功的潜在制约因素。

This special issue is the fourth decadal review of biological control of invasive alien plants (biocontrol of weeds) in South Africa, following those published in 1991, 1999 and 2011. Including this introduction, there are 24 papers covering the weed biocontrol programmes, or important developments in the science and practice, from the period 2011-2020. Seventy-two target weed species are covered, including 25 species on which projects were initiated during the past decade. Developments in regulations, mass-rearing and implementation, and community engagement are also reviewed. An updated catalogue of agents released, rejected and under consideration is presented and reflects the most recent methods of quantifying success in weed biocontrol. Key events over the last decade include the hosting of the XIV International Symposium on Biological Control of Weeds to celebrate 100 years of weed biocontrol in South Africa, as well as the establishment of the Centre for Biological Control at Rhodes University. The science and practice of weed biocontrol has expanded significantly in the past decade, with growth in the number of researchers and practitioners, increased funding, and an increased number of scholarly outputs. Unlike many other countries in the world, South Africa has largely avoided constraints due to restrictive and risk averse legislation and bureaucracy, and has continued to release new biocontrol agents at a similar rate to that in previous years. Much of the success of weed biocontrol in South Africa is due to the sustained and increasing support of the Natural Resource Management Programme of the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (Working for Water Programme). However, gaps in funding, where no funds are available for months at a time, are a major concern as the weed biocontrol community loses human capital in these periods, and research programmes suffer significant set-backs. Weed biocontrol is an essential component of South Africa's strategy to reduce the negative impacts of invasive alien plants and has contributed significantly towards the protection of the country's ecosystems, indigenous biodiversity, water security, agricultural productivity, and society in general. If the trend of increasing support for weed biocontrol in South Africa continues, we can expect that the benefits for the country at large will increase substantially in the future.
本期特刊是继1991年、1999年和2011年发表的关于南非外来入侵植物生物防治(杂草生物防治)的第四期十年综述。包括这篇介绍在内,有24篇论文涵盖了2011-2020年期间杂草生物防治计划或科学和实践方面的重要发展。覆盖了72种目标杂草,其中25种是在过去十年中启动的项目。还审查了法规、大规模饲养和实施以及社区参与方面的发展情况。本文介绍了已释放、拒绝和正在考虑的药剂的最新目录,并反映了量化杂草生物防治成功的最新方法。过去十年的主要活动包括举办第十四届国际杂草生物防治研讨会,以庆祝南非杂草生物防治100周年,以及在罗兹大学建立了生物防治中心。杂草生物防治的科学和实践在过去十年中有了显著的发展,研究人员和实践者的数量增加,资金增加,学术产出增加。与世界上许多其他国家不同,南非在很大程度上避免了由于限制性和规避风险的立法和官僚主义造成的限制,并继续以与前几年相似的速度发布新的生物防治剂。南非在杂草生物防治方面取得的成功在很大程度上要归功于林业、渔业和环境部自然资源管理方案(为水而工作方案)的持续和日益增加的支持。然而,资金缺口是一个主要问题,因为杂草生物防治界在这些时期会失去人力资本,研究项目也会遭受重大挫折。杂草生物防治是南非减少外来入侵植物负面影响战略的重要组成部分,对保护该国的生态系统、本土生物多样性、水安全、农业生产力和整个社会做出了重大贡献。如果南非对杂草生物防治的支持不断增加的趋势继续下去,我们可以预期,未来整个国家的收益将大幅增加。

A Review of the Biocontrol Programmes Against Aquatic Weeds in South Africa 南非水生杂草生物防治规划综述

Biological control (biocontrol) against invasive macrophytes is one of the longest standing programmes in South Africa, initiated in the 1970s against water hyacinth, Pontederia crassipes Mart. (Pontederiaceae). Since then, 15 agent species (13 insects, one mite and one pathogen) have been released against six weeds, most of which are floating macrophytes, with excellent levels of success. The release of the water hyacinth planthopper Megamelus scutellaris Berg (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) in particular, has improved biocontrol prospects for water hyacinth since 2018. In the last decade, however, a new suite of submerged and rooted emergent invasive macrophytes has been targeted. The first release against a submerged macrophyte in South Africa, and the first release against Brazilian waterweed, Egeria densa Planch. (Hydrocharitaceae), anywhere in the world, was achieved with the release of a leafmining fly, Hydrellia egeriae Rodrigues-Júnior, Mathis & Hauser (Diptera: Ephydridae). Yellow flag, Iris pseudacorus L. (Iridaceae) and Mexican waterlily, Nymphaea mexicana Zucc. (Nymphaeaceae), have also been targeted for biocontrol for the first time worldwide, and are in the early stages of agent development. Post-release evaluations, long term monitoring and controlled experiments have highlighted the need for a more holistic approach to managing aquatic invasive plants in South Africa, whose presence is largely driven by eutrophication, resulting in regime shifts between floating and submerged invaded states.
针对入侵大型植物的生物防治(生物防治)是南非历史最悠久的规划之一,始于20世纪70年代针对水葫芦、Pontederia crassipes Mart。(Pontederiaceae)。从那时起,共对6种杂草(主要是浮游植物)释放15种药剂(昆虫13种,螨1种,病原菌1种),取得了良好的效果。特别是水葫芦飞虱(半翅目:飞虱科)的释放,自2018年以来改善了水葫芦的生物防治前景。然而,在过去的十年中,一组新的淹没和根系入侵植物已经成为研究的目标。第一次释放是针对南非的一种淹没的大型植物,第一次释放是针对巴西的水草Egeria densa Planch。(Hydrocharitaceae),在世界任何地方,都是通过释放一种采叶蝇,Hydrellia egeriae Rodrigues-Júnior, Mathis & Hauser(双翅目:叶蝇科)来实现的。黄旗鸢尾(鸢尾科)和墨西哥睡莲(Nymphaea mexicana Zucc)。(Nymphaeaceae),也是世界上第一次作为生物防治的目标,目前正处于药剂开发的早期阶段。释放后的评估、长期监测和控制实验突出表明,需要采取更全面的方法来管理南非的水生入侵植物,这些植物的存在主要是由富营养化驱动的,导致了漂浮和淹没入侵状态之间的政权转变。

The first release against a submerged macrophyte in South Africa, and the first release against Brazilian waterweed, Egeria densa Planch. (Hydrocharitaceae), anywhere in the world, was achieved with the release of a leafmining fly, Hydrellia egeriae Rodrigues-Júnior, Mathis & Hauser (Diptera: Ephydridae). Yellow flag, Iris pseudacorus L. (Iridaceae) and Mexican waterlily, Nymphaea mexicana Zucc. (Nymphaeaceae), have also been targeted for biocontrol for the first time worldwide, and are in the early stages of agent development. Post-release evaluations, long term monitoring and controlled experiments have highlighted the need for a more holistic approach to managing aquatic invasive plants in South Africa, whose presence is largely driven by eutrophication, resulting in regime shifts between floating and submerged invaded states.","PeriodicalId":7566,"journal":{"name":"African Entomology","volume":"29 1","pages":"935 - 964"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46676899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
