“…Sustainable development acknowledges the intricate interplay between ecological health and human prosperity, advocating for a conscientious and responsible utilization of resources [4]. As global challenges, ranging from invasive species to environmental degradation, underscore the need for comprehensive solutions, the commitment to sustainable practices, including biocontrol, remains integral in ensuring the preservation of biodiversity and fostering a resilient, equitable, and enduring future [5,6].…”

Marchalina hellenica Gennadius (Hemiptera: Marchalinidae) is a scale insect native to Greece and Turkey and presently invasive in Australia, where it damages pine plantations. The silver fly, Neoleucopis kartliana Tanasijtshuk (Diptera: Chamaemyiidae), is the most abundant predator of M. hellenica in Greece and is presently being investigated as a potential biological control agent following the scale’s introduction in Australia. This study, conducted in Northern Greece, revealed the presence of a second lineage, closely related to N. kartliana, referred to as Neoleucopis n. sp. B. Field surveys and laboratory experiments were conducted on M. hellenica and a taxonomically related scale insect, Icerya purchasi Maskell (Hemiptera: Monophlebidae), to test the larval growth and survival of the flies on the two prey species and assess their specificity for M. hellenica. The results suggest that both Neoleucopis spp. exhibit a high preference for M. hellenica when compared to I. purchasi. Larval growth was higher on M. hellenica than on I. purchasi but the difference was significant for N. kartliana only. Survival was significantly higher for both predators when provided M. hellenica compared to I. purchasi. Field surveys showed that both predators are abundant on M. hellenica colonies, whereas none of the two Neoleucopis lineages was found to have preyed on I. purchasi.

In the era of rapid global development, the delicate balance between progress and environmental preservation is strained. “Vanishing Harmony” addresses biodiversity loss, revealing the link between development and Earth's ecosystems decline. The book examines causes, consequences, and solutions against urbanization, industrialization, and infrastructure expansion. It unravels interconnected factors like deforestation, pollution, climate change, and resource exploitation. Biodiversity loss affects ecological stability and human well-being, impacting food security, medicine, and ecosystem resilience. Addressing root causes is vital for sustainability. Policy, international collaboration, and community engagement are key. The book advocates for a shift in societal attitudes and economic models to prioritize development and ecological preservation. It aims to inform policymakers, environmentalists, researchers, and the public, fostering understanding and inspiring collective commitment to preserve our planet's biological heritage.
