Methods and approaches for the management of arthropod border incursions

Biological invasions are increasing and are strongly associated with negative agricultural, economic and ecological impacts. It is increasingly recognized that the primary focus in minimizing biological invasions should be to prevent initial entry of alien species. However, exclusion of terrestrial arthropods such as insects and mites is difficult, in part because of their relatively small size, cryptic habits, broad physiological tolerances and close association with various internationally traded goods. Here we discuss methods, approaches, management and intervention systems used by border biosecurity agencies to prevent entry of inadvertently transported arthropods. We examine the at-border systems that exist for the detection and identification of and response to alien arthropods, and discuss the constraints and challenges present in these systems. We critically review current border biosecurity systems and discuss their relative efficacy. We then discuss additional measures and key areas that could be addressed that may further improve these systems. These include: (1) the application of appropriate sampling strategies; (2) employment of suitable inspection methods adequate to detect small and hidden arthropods; and (3) thorough recording of methods, organisms detected and both negative and positive results of inspections. We emphasize that more pathways of introductions for invasive arthropods. Of critical importance is the compilation of complete and accurate invasive species lists and high-risk species watch-lists. The adoption of these recommendations will contribute to improved biosecurity systems for the exclusion of alien, invasive and pest arthropods.

“…This species is highly adaptable, which has enabled it to rapidly spread geographically (Liu et al, 2013). B. correcta infests 62 species of plants belonging to 30 families (Allwood et al, 1999;Maynard et al, 2004) including several commercially important fruits such as mango, guava, peach, melon, cashew nut, cherry, jujube, carambola, wax apple, banana and citrus fruits (White & Elson-Harris, 1992). Significant damage to commercial fruit crops is reported in Thailand and Vietnam (Drew & Raghu, 2002).…”

“…Significant damage to commercial fruit crops is reported in Thailand and Vietnam (Drew & Raghu, 2002). As B. correcta causes serious economic damage to fruit production and is highly invasive, it is con sidered to be a key quarantine species by many countries (White & Elson-Harris, 1992;Maynard et al, 2004).…”

Abstract. Bactrocera correcta (Bezzi) is among the most destructive fruit fly pests of the genus Bactrocera. This species infests 62 spe cies of plants belonging 30 families, many of which are commercially important. In this study, the genetic structure, diversity and de mographic history of B. correcta in Thailand were inferred from mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) sequences. High genetic diversity was recorded in the 171 samples collected from 15 locations. This was due largely to the existence of two divergent lineages (I, II) revealed by median joining (MJ) network analysis. Genetic structure analysis revealed an overall low level of genetic differentia tion between populations suggesting that the flies can move freely across geographic regions. Because the host plants are commonly grown in Thailand, continuity of habitats is the factor most likely responsible for the genetic homogeneity. In addition, the recent popu lation history could also be a factor that contributed to the overall low level of the genetic structure. Mismatch distribution analysis as well as Tajima's D and Fu's F S tests detected evidence of recent demographic expansion dating back to the end of the last glaciations.

“…This poses a major challenge to border security agencies (Maynard et al 2004). There are limited resources available to respond to every incursion so priority setting is necessary, using some form of risk assessment (Ruesink et al 1995;Kolar & Lodge 2001;Stohlgren & Schnase 2006).…”

Relative risk of invasive ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) establishing in New Zealand

Human-assisted spread of species poses a major challenge to border security agencies. Ideally, limited resources need to be targeted at species posing the most risk. Climate matching is an important component of assessing risk but often little or no biological information is available to enable detailed modelling. To assess if distribution records alone provide useful establishment predictions we compare the climate in New Zealand and its outlying islands to that found in the current native and introduced ranges of 12 tramp ant species, three of which are already established in New Zealand, using the climate module of BIOSECURE, a risk assessment tool. Eleven species showed a similar general pattern, with mean annual temperature being the climatic variable with the least overlap between the estimated realised niche and the predicted New Zealand niche. The twelfth species, of temperate origin, is less restricted by temperature, but much of New Zealand may have too high a rainfall. The present and future threats posed by tramp ants are discussed in relation to climate limitations.
