“…Because the regeneration of natural vegetation going on 30-40 years, we expected the highest abundance on the oldest highway sampling site, but our hypothesis was not supported by this result. Several studies show that many invader plant and animal species'colonies have expanded along roads where the age of roads has an impact on the diversity and abundance of organisms (7,59,60,61,62,63). Similarly, we found an increase in the relative abundance of A. vulgare that probably reflected the invasive patterns of the species.…”

“…Similarly, we found an increase in the relative abundance of A. vulgare that probably reflected the invasive patterns of the species. Along with Hungarian highways, Fetykó (64) observed only a slight increase in the number of scale insects in the old sampling sites, but Lengyel et al (63) provided evidence for a growing population of spotted wing drosophila at such sites.…”

Background and purpose: The impact of invasive species in ecosystems is an important problem worldwide and the spreading of invader species are affected exceedingly by linear infrastructure. Primarily the aim of our investigation was to studied how the invasion of the species impacts the isopod diversity of roadside verges. Secondly, we determined what attributes of linear infrastructure affect on mass occurrence by the species. Materials and methods: Double-glass pitfall traps were established 30 localities along highways and 4 localities along main roads in Hungary between 2011 and 2016. To studied what attributes of roads affect the abundance of A. vulgare we considered seasons, adjacent areas, road edge proximity, leaf-litter depth, the age of highway, vegetation type and mowing. Results: We collected a total of 18 isopod species. The A. vulgare was the most abundant and frequently encountered species in both road types, which represented 89% of the total isopod catches. The high abundance of the species negatively correlated with isopod diversity. The invasive nature of this species is promoted by summer season, the proximity of arable fields, intermediate distance from the road, leaf-litter at a depth of 0 cm and the young age of highways. On mainroad verges the highest abundance was in the non-mown sections of the arid grassland sites. Conclusions: Our results suggest that this species is likely to adversely impact ecosystem function of roadside verges in Hungary. Different land use, water supply, surrounding landscapes, habitat structure, vegetation, biogeographical context and human activities along road verges influence the invasiveness of A. vulgare.

“…The Apulian population showed the greatest number of private alleles (25). This could be the consequence of a steady introduction of new alleles due to migration, possibly associated with human-mediated transport [ 25 , 59 ].…”

“…Human transportation is the most probable explanation for the extensive spread of D. suzukii . [ 25 , 59 ]. When an alien species is introduced into an environment outside its native range, expansion can be identified not only by analysing genetic diversity indices, but also by analysing the genetic flow between populations, which is a direct proof of rapid distribution.…”

Background Drosophila suzukii is a highly destructive pest species, causing substantial economic losses in soft fruit production. To better understand migration patterns, gene flow and adaptation in invaded regions, we studied the genetic structure of D. suzukii collected across Italy, where it was first observed in 2008. In particular, we analysed 15 previously characterised Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers to estimate genetic differentiation across the genome of 278 flies collected from nine populations.ResultsThe nine populations showed high allelic diversity, mainly due to very high heterozygosity. The high Polymorphism Information Content (PIC) index values (ranging from 0.68 to 0.84) indicated good discrimination power for the markers. Negative fixation index (F IS) values in seven of the populations indicated a low level of inbreeding, as suggested by the high number of alleles. STRUCTURE, Principal Coordinate and Neighbour Joining analysis also revealed that the Sicilian population was fairly divergent compared to other Italian populations. Moreover, migration was present across all populations, with the exception of the Sicilian one, confirming its isolation relative to the mainland.ConclusionsThis is the first study characterising the genetic structure of the invasive species D. suzukii in Italy. Our analysis showed extensive genetic homogeneity among D. suzukii collected in Italy. The relatively isolated Sicilian population suggests a largely human-mediated migration pattern, while the warm climate in this region allows the production of soft fruit, and the associated D. suzukii reproductive season occurring much earlier than on the rest of the peninsula.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12863-017-0558-7) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…By the end of 2010, D. suzukii had colonized the Western and Eastern USA, Canada, and most of the Mediterranean regions (Rota-Stabelli et al 2013 ). Latest records report the presence of this pest in additional countries such as Austria, UK, Belgium, Germany, Hungary, Romania Turkey, Ukraine, Brazil, Chile, Argentina and Uruguay (Asplen et al 2015 ; Calabria et al 2012 ; Cini et al 2012 ; Chireceanu et al 2015 ; Deprá et al 2014 ; Lavrinienko et al 2017 ; Lengyel et al 2015 ; Lue et al 2017 ; Orhan et al 2016 ; Servicio Agrícola y Ganadero (SAG) 2017 ; Vilela and Mori 2014 ). The expansion of D. suzukii in North and South America and in Europe has been very fast and widespread (Adrion et al 2014 ; Lasa and Tadeo 2015 ).…”

Sterile insect technique and Wolbachia symbiosis as potential tools for the control of the invasive species Drosophila suzukii

et al. 2017

Drosophila suzukii, a vinegar fly originated from Southeast Asia, has recently invaded western countries, and it has been recognized as an important threat of a wide variety of several commercial soft fruits. This review summarizes the current information about the biology and dispersal of D. suzukii and discusses the current status and prospects of control methods for the management of this pest. We highlight current knowledge and ongoing research on innovative environmental-friendly control methods with emphasis on the sterile insect technique (SIT) and the incompatible insect technique (IIT). SIT has been successfully used for the containment, suppression or even eradication of populations of insect pests. IIT has been proposed as a stand-alone tool or in conjunction with SIT for insect pest control. The principles of SIT and IIT are reviewed, and the potential value of each approach in the management of D. suzukii is analyzed. We thoroughly address the challenges of SIT and IIT, and we propose the use of SIT as a component of an area-wide integrated pest management approach to suppress D. suzukii populations. As a contingency plan, we suggest a promising alternative avenue through the combination of these two techniques, SIT/IIT, which has been developed and is currently being tested in open-field trials against Aedes mosquito populations. All the potential limiting factors that may render these methods ineffective, as well as the requirements that need to be fulfilled before their application, are discussed.
