Competitive displacement between two invasive whiteflies: insecticide application and host plant effects

Abstract: The cryptic species Middle East-Asia Minor 1 (MEAM1), formerly referred to as 'B biotype', of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci complex entered China in the mid 1990s, and the Mediterranean (MED) cryptic species, formerly referred to as 'Q biotype', of the same whitefly complex entered China around 2003. Field surveys in China after 2003 indicate that in many regions MED has been replacing the earlier invader MEAM1. The factors underlying this displacement are unclear. We conducted laboratory experiments and field s… Show more

“…B. tabaci (Hemiptera:Aleyrodidae) is a species complex with a global distribution, which has caused considerable damages to ornamental, vegetable, grain legume and cotton production36, particularly the Middle East-Asia Minor 1 (MEAM1 or B biotype) and Mediterranean (MED or Q biotype)37. Due to the serious problem of insecticide resistance in this species, alternative control approaches are needed38, and Wolbachia -induced CI might be a useful strategy since the natural populations of B. tabaci (especially the B and Q biotypes) are widely infected with Wolbachia and antibiotic treatment could induce strong CI in B biotype3940.…”

“…In 2004, the MED group was detected, and rapidly became widely distributed in China, causing considerable damage to a wide range of vegetables, fibers, and ornamental crops (Chu et al, 2005). It is interesting that MED has been replacing the earlier invader MEAM1 as well as several indigenous species of whiteflies (e.g., Asia II and China 1) in many regions (Liu et al, 2007; Sun et al, 2013). …”

“…However, few studies have explored the seasonal variability of competition and the importance of disruptive events in competition, particularly if an insecticide is the disruptive agent [22][24]. The only few studies available in arthropods are rather recent and focused on pointed differences in the occurrence of competing species between area subjected (or not) to insecticide applications, as with whiteflies [25] and leafminer flies [26], and just a single study with mosquitoes explored density-dependence on the competition outcome, but without considering the dose-dependent effect of the insecticide used [27].…”
