“…It has been reported that Solenopsis germinata preys on eggs and larvae of the Asian corn borer, Ostrinia furnacalis, which might reduce pest infestation (Litsinger et al, 2007). Similarly, Sunamura et al (2020) found that native Japanese ant fauna may increase resistance to Aromia bungii attack in Rosaceae trees. The potential of biological pest control by ants requires further investigation and should be considered in the management of vineyards in regions where aphids and coccids do usually not affect vineyards.…”

“…As a result, insect predator numbers are declining more rapidly than many other trophic guilds [ 21 ], which has repercussions for biological control and ecosystem resistance against invasive species within and beyond farm borders. Indeed, (generalist, opportunistic) predators provide so-called ‘biotic resistance’ against invasive biota, as demonstrated for insectivorous birds [ 22 ], granivorous crickets [ 23 ] or ants [ 24 , 25 ]. Building upon Ohm’s law, Chapman [ 26 ] first defined ecosystem resistance as the capacity of the environment to prevent a given species from attaining its full potential.…”

Islands offer exclusive prisms for an experimental investigation of biodiversity x ecosystem function interplay. Given that species in upper trophic layers, e.g., arthropod predators, experience a comparative disadvantage on small, isolated islands, such settings can help to clarify how predation features within biotic resistance equations. Here, we use observational and manipulative studies on a chain of nine Indonesian islands to quantify predator-mediated biotic resistance against the cassava mealybug Phenacoccus manihoti (Homoptera: Pseudococcidae) and the fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Across island settings, a diverse set of generalist lacewing, spider and ladybeetle predators aggregates on P. manihoti infested plants, attaining max. (field-level) abundance levels of 1.0, 8.0 and 3.2 individuals per plant, respectively. Though biotic resistance—as imperfectly defined by a predator/prey ratio index—exhibits no inter-island differences, P. manihoti population regulation is primarily provided through an introduced monophagous parasitoid. Meanwhile, resident predators, such as soil-dwelling ants, inflict apparent mortality rates up to 100% for various S. frugiperda life stages, which translates into a 13- to 800-fold lower S. frugiperda survivorship on small versus large islands. While biotic resistance against S. frugiperda is ubiquitous along the island chain, its magnitude differs between island contexts, seasons and ecological realms, i.e., plant canopy vs. soil surface. Hence, under our experimental context, generalist predators determine biotic resistance and exert important levels of mortality even in biodiversity-poor settings. Given the rapid pace of biodiversity loss and alien species accumulation globally, their active conservation in farmland settings (e.g., through pesticide phasedown) is pivotal to ensuring the overall resilience of production ecosystems.

“…It is native to east Asia and spread to Europe in recent years (Xu et al 2017; Di , causing panic in some countries because of it's a variety of host plants and possible devastating consequences on target trees (EPPO, 2015; Germinara et al 2019;Elia et al 2020). Eggs are laid in crevices in the bark of host tree, after hatching, the larvae bore into the tree stem and live a concealed life, feeding the phloem and xylem of the host tree, forming irregular channels, damaging the water and nutrient transportation of trees, leading to the death of the entire tree when the infestation is serious, causing huge economic losses to the local farmers (Xu et al 2017;Men et al 2017Men et al , 2019Sunamura et al 2020).…”

Aromia bungii Faldermann is an important economic wood borer infested many fruits and ornamental tree in Rosacea family, and is listed as a world quarantine pest. Both chemical and biological control methods have been used to control its damage, but what is their interact effect is unknown. 【Objective】To figure out whether sublethal imidacloprid stimulate the physical and biochemical response of A. bungii larvae so to affect the parasitism rate and offspring development of its parasitoids Sclerodermus guani. 【Method】We detected the activity of detoxification and defense enzymes in the A. bungii larvae treated with sublethal dose of imidacloprid, and investigated its effects on the S. guani. Firstly, LC10, LC20, and LC30 of the imidacloprid were tested to determine the sublethal dose. Then the larvae were treated with the sublethal dose of imidacloprid with artificial diet. 【Result】The sublethal imidacloprid can induce the activity of GST enzyme and inhibition of the CarE activity in A. bungii larvae; the activity of CAT, SOD and POD enzymes was induced and there is a dose effect; the developmental duration of S. guani was not significantly affected, but the parasitism rate, fecundity, the emergence rate and the mortality rate were seriously affected compared with the control. 【Conclusion】The sublethal dose of imidacloprid can induce the strong physical and biochemical response of A. bungii larvae, and had a significant impact on the parasitism success rate and fecundity of S. guani. The results could help us to rational use of insecticides to collaborative with the biological control of the A. bungii with parasitoid.
