“…In Germany, B. glycyrhizae was introduced (Anton 2010). In Europe, it is associated with Glycyrrhiza echinata L. (Jermy and Szentesi 2003;Delobel and Delobel 2006;Szentesi et al 2017; this study) and in Asia with Glycyrrhiza glabra L. and Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. ex DC.…”

“…Bruchidius glycyrhizae and Zabrotes subfasciatus were not recorded so far in Romania but were reported from neighboring countries (Jermy and Szentesi 2003;Beenen and Roques 2010;Yus-Ramos et al 2014;Szentesi et al 2017). The aim of this study was to investigate the potential presence of Zabrotes subfasciatus and Bruchidius glycyrhizae in Romania and to provide information regarding the status of the species in Romania, biology and potential introduction pathways.…”

Although beans are an important part of the human diet, their long-term storage is still problematic due to pest damage by seed beetles. This study provides data on a documented detection of Mexican bean beetle Zabrotes subfasciatus in Romania. A great number of individuals were found inside packages of small white beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) imported from Syria and Ethiopia. Based on the investigation of the infested seeds, rearing and biology of the species, it is unlikely that this alien species is established in Romania. We also provide the first known record of Bruchidius glycyrhizae in Romania, based on its previously known distribution and the range of its host plants, it is more likely an overlooked native species.

Amorpha fruticosa L. (Fabaceae) shows two reproductive modes, generative via seeds and vegetative via root-shoots. We studied the reproductive ability on a mixed sample collected from 6 localities in the city of Bratislava: compound fruiting per bush (12.55 ± 8.55), fruiting per bush (70.33 ± 48.04) and fruits per bush (16127.33 ± 24212.25). No significant difference was found between germination values from unpeeled fruits (achenes) and peeled fruits (seeds). Both seeds and fruits germinated very well both immediately after harvest and after storage under different temperature conditions. Peeled achenes germinated earlier. We stored seeds and fruits under different conditions, and found that the highest seed germination values were achieved by seeds stored in the dark at 22°C (60.00%) and by non-stored seeds (57.50%). The longest seedlings grew from seeds (8.48 mm) and from fruits (9.08 mm) stored at 22°C.

The paper investigates the distributions of legumes (Fabaceae) and their associated seed beetle species (Bruchinae) across vegetation zones and regions of Europe and evaluates the host range and specialization of seed beetles. 1584 legume species/subspecies/varieties were included in the study and ca. 16% of these serve as known hosts by the 175 seed beetle species found in Europe. Both plant and seed beetle species richness increased from the Boreal to Mediterranean zones/regions. 717 legume species occurred only in single zones/regions and only 4.7% of these (34 species) were hosts for 38 bruchine species specific to a zone/region. Europe has 664 native legume species and 381 of these are Eu-endemics. There were 52 alien legume species found. Similarities in plant species composition by the Sørensen index were pronounced between the Central-European and the Mediterranean, between the Transcaucasian and Mediterranean, and between the Colchis-Caucasian and the Pontic-Caspian areas. The most species-rich genus is Astragalus L. with 334 species and 16 subspecies. Of the two major pre-dispersal seed predator genera, Bruchidius Schilsky species are sensu lato oligophagous, using a wide range of leguminous tribes as hosts, but restricted to few host species within a tribe. In contrast, members of the Bruchus L. genus are sensu stricto oligophagous species and, despite being constrained to the Fabeae tribe, most of them feed on several Lathyrus L. and Vicia L. species. The ways annual and perennial life cycles as well as chemical constituents of legumes might affect the colonization success of the seed beetles are discussed.
