“…Anthocoris nemoralis is an important component of the natural enemy community in pear and apple orchards where it provides biological control against arthropod pests, particularly psyllids (Horton et al 2004). Investigating the predator–prey complex of Cacopsylla pyrisuga in a pear orchard in France, Herard (1986) found that Anthocoris nemoralis was the most efficient enemy against this pest.…”

“…From Europe it was introduced into North America in 1963 in order to control pear psyllid Cacopsylla pyricola , giving satisfactory results (Horton et al 2004). This species has adapted to this region so well that it has suppressed autochthonous predatory species Anthocoris antevolens and Anthocoris melanocerus (Herard 1986, Horton et al 2004).…”

“…So far, detailed researches were carried out only on the predators of economically significant species, such as pear psyllids Cacopsylla pyri (Linnaeus, 1758), Cacopsylla pyricola (Foerster, 1848) and Cacopsylla pyrisuga (Foerster, 1848); apple psyllid Cacopsylla mali (Schmidberger, 1836) and eucalyptus psyllids from the subfamily Spondyliaspidinae (Jonsson 1983, Herard 1985, 1986, Santas 1987, Erler 2004, Horton et al 2004, Sigsgaard et al 2006, Jauset et al 2006, Luiz de Queiroz et al 2012). There are too few data on predators of other psyllid species.…”

“…Anthocoris nemoralis (Anthocoridae) was introduced from Europe to North America (British Columbia) in 1963 in order to control Cacopsylla pyricola , where its establishment was successful. Besides giving satisfactory effects, this species also spread in the new environment suppressing autochthonous species Anthocoris antevolens White, 1879 and Anthocoris melanocerus Reuter, 1884, which are most common anthocorid predators in orchards (Herard 1986, Horton et al 2004). …”

Data on natural enemies of psyllids are rare and can usually be found in papers about economically significant species. During an investigation of psyllid fauna in Serbia, natural enemies were investigated, too. True bugs were the most numerous among them. From 28 psyllid species, 21 species of true bugs from families Anthocoridae and Miridae were reared. Seven species of Anthocoridae were identified: Anthocoris amplicollis (Horváth, 1839), Anthocoris confusus Reuter, 1884, Anthocoris nemoralis (Fabricius, 1794), Anthocoris nemorum (Linnaeus, 1761), Orius majusculus Reuter, 1884, Orius minutus (Linnaeus, 1758) and Orius niger Wolff, 1811. The following 14 species of Miridae were identified: Atractotomus mali Meyer-Dür, 1843, Campylomma verbasci (Meyer-Dür, 1843), Deraeocoris flavilinea (A. Costa, 1862), Deraeocoris ruber (Linnaeus, 1758), Deraeocoris lutescens (Schilling, 1836), Heterocordylus genistae (Scopoli, 1763), Hypseloecus visci (Puton, 1888), Malacocoris chlorizans Panzer, 1794, Miris striatus (Linnaeus, 1758), Orthotylus marginalis Reuter, 1884, Psallus assimilis Stichel, 1956, Psallus quercus Kirschbaum, 1856, Psallus flavellus Stichel, 1933 and Pseudoloxops coccinea (Meyer-Dür, 1843). The aim of the research was to provide list of true bugs recorded as predators of psyllids in order to preserve their diversity and significance, especially on cultivated plants.

“…In Brazil the sap sucker T. peregrinus is also infected by an entomopathogenic fungus (Mascarin et al, 2012). The predator Anthocoris nemoralis attacks G. brimblecombei not only in the Palearctic region where the predator is native, but also in North America where this predator was introduced in the 1960s (Horton et al, 2004; Karaca et al, 2015). …”

New Communities on Eucalypts Grown Outside Australia

The expansion of eucalypt forestry worldwide has been accompanied by accidental and deliberate introductions of Australian insects associated with eucalypts. Local insect species have also colonized introduced eucalypts in many regions. This situation provides a unique opportunity to observe the development of new insect communities across trophic levels. Here the history of Australian invaders and native colonizers on eucalypts outside Australia is reviewed from the perspective of herbivore guilds: leaf chewers, sap suckers, wood borers, gall formers, termites. Historical patterns of invasion are identified across these guilds. Very few species of Australian leaf chewers, wood borers or termites have become widespread but these guilds are proportionately high in native colonizers. In contrast, sap suckers have multiple invasive species globally with relatively fewer native colonizers. The gall former guild also has several invasive species but so far includes no native colonizers, perhaps due to their tendency to have highly specific host plant associations. Natural enemies of Australian invaders are also members of new eucalypt insect communities, partly through planned biological control programs, but the rate of accidental introductions at higher trophic levels is increasing steadily. At the same time, local natural enemies enter eucalypt communities either to form new associations with Australian invaders or to follow native colonizers into this new habitat. Australian sap suckers have attracted far more new associations than other guilds so far. Native leaf chewers have often been followed by their local natural enemies into eucalypt communities, particularly in Brazil. Generally there are fewer records relating to local natural enemies and their role in new eucalypt communities. The complexity of new eucalypt communities outside Australia is expected to increase in future.
