Biological invasion and biological control select for different life histories
Biological invaders have long been hypothesized to exhibit the fast end of the life-history spectrum, with early reproduction and a short lifespan. Here, we examine the rapid evolution of life history within the harlequin ladybird Harmonia axyridis. The species, once used as a biological control agent, is now a worldwide invader. We show that biocontrol populations have evolved a classic fast l...
متن کاملIndirect nontarget eVects of host-speciWc biological control agents: Implications for biological control
Classical biological control of weeds currently operates under the assumption that biological control agents are safe (i.e., low risk) if they do not directly attack nontarget species. However, recent studies indicate that even highly host-speciWc biological control agents can impact nontarget species through indirect eVects. This Wnding has profound implications for biological control. To bett...
متن کاملParasitoid Guilds of Agrilus Woodborers (Coleoptera: Buprestidae): Their Diversity and Potential for Use in Biological Control
Literature studies in North America (US and Canada), Europe, and Asia (particularly Russia, China, Japan, and the Korean peninsula) were reviewed to identify parasitoid guilds associated with Agrilus woodborers. There are at least 12 species of hymenopteran parasitoids attacking eggs of Agrilus beetles and 56 species (36 genera), attacking Agrilus larvae infesting various host plants in North A...
متن کاملBiological Control
Anderson, L. M., Stockwell, V. O., and Loper, J. E. 2004. An extracellular protease of Pseudomonas fluorescens inactivates antibiotics of Pantoea agglomerans. Phytopathology 94:1228-1234. Pseudomonas fluorescens A506 and Pantoea agglomerans strains Eh252 and C9-1 are biological control agents that suppress fire blight, an important disease of pear and apple caused by the bacterium Erwinia amylo...
متن کاملEffects of Intraguild Predation and Interspecific Competititon among Biological Control Agents in Augmentative Biological Control in Greenhouses
Two natural enemy species are frequently released simultaneously to control one pest species in augmentative biological control in greenhouses. Intraguild predation (IGP) and interspecific competition between natural enemies might affect the biological control. IGP occurs between two parasitoids, between one parasitoid and one predator, and between two predators. Although unidirectional IGP has...
