“…‰ and Δ 15 N = 3.4 ‰) placed the larvae, with a certain degree of variability between sites, on the second trophic level, i.e., only one level above the reed. This result leads us to reject the hypothesis that larvae feed only on the fungus [ 17 , 21 , 23 ]. Indeed, both δ 13 C and δ 15 N clearly indicate that midge larvae also feed directly on the leaf sheath of the giant reed.…”

“…It was introduced into North America in the early 1500s by colonists, where it quickly became naturalised, and this species now extends to all continents except Antarctica [ 15 , 16 ]. Arundo donax forms dense monospecific beds, becoming the dominant species in invaded riparian habitats, where it competes with native plants for water resources and reduces both plant and macroinvertebrate diversity [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. Mechanical removal of A. donax can be extremely expensive and labour-intensive, while complete eradication, in well-established infestations, is very difficult to accomplish [ 19 ].…”

“…donax infestation and the difficulty of dispersing more than a few meters by individual scale insects. In its native range, R. donacis is more abundant at sites with stable plant populations and mostly dry soil than at sites with perennially wet soil [ 52 ]. In this study, adventive scales were found in two dry and one moister site(s).…”

“…However, there could also be subtle differences in adult female development rate or crawler yield depending on the source population of Ar. donax used [ 52 ].…”
