“…Even the most recent reports, i.e. those reported in the past few months, overlook the use of T. molitor while studying with ecologies of EPF such as Metarhizium (Fernández-Salas et al 2017, Gan and Wickings 2017, Hernández-Domínguez and Guzmán-Franco 2017, Kirubakaran et al 2018). This study signifies that the use of both of the bait-insects is more important than considered before and T. molitor should always be used along with G. mellonella, especially when Metarhizium is being isolated from soils.…”

“…Due to the lack of any study which focuses primarily on the differences of Beauveria and Metarhizium occurrences from soils while using G. mellonella and T. molitor bait-insects, some of the most recent and noteworthy studies, even those reported in the last few months, still use the Galleria-bait method as the standard (only) methodology to recover EPF from soils (Fernández-Salas et al 2017, Gan and Wickings 2017, Kirubakaran et al 2018. Keyser et al (2015) compared the use of T. molitor against culturing soil samples over selective medium and a found a drastic contrast where the former was found highly effective over the latter.…”

Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) are the natural enemies of insect-pests. However, EPF recoveries can be influenced by the soil habitat-type(s) incorporated and/or the bait-insect(s) used. Galleria mellonella (GM) as bait-insect, i.e. 'Galleria-bait', is arguably the most common methodology, which is sometimes used solely, to isolate EPF from soils. Insect baiting using Tenebrio molitor (TM) has also been employed occasionally. Here 183 soils were used to estimate the functional diversity of EPF in Portuguese Douro vineyards (cultivated habitat) and adjacent hedgerows (semi-natural habitat), using the TM bait method. Moreover, to study the effect of insect baiting on EPF recovery, 81 of these 183 soil samples were also tested for EPF occurrences using the GM bait method. Twelve species were found in 44.26% ± 3.67% of the total of 183 soils. Clonostachys rosea f. rosea was found in maximum soils (30.05% ± 3.38%), followed by Beauveria bassiana (12.57% ± 2.37%), Purpureocillium lilacinum (9.29% ± 2.14%) and Metarhizium robertsii (6.01% ± 1.75%). Beauveria pseudobassiana (P < 0.001), C. rosea f. rosea (P = 0.006) and RESEARCH ARTICLELav Sharma et al. / MycoKeys 38: 1-23 (2018) 2 Cordyceps cicadae (P=0.023) were isolated significantly more from hedgerows, highlighting their sensitivities towards agricultural disturbances. Beauveria bassiana (P = 0.038) and M. robertsii (P = 0.003) were isolated significantly more using GM and TM, respectively. Principal component analysis revealed that M. robertsii was associated both with TM baiting and cultivated habitats, however, B. bassiana was slightly linked with GM baiting only. Ecological profiles of B. bassiana and P. lilacinum were quite similar while M. robertsii and C. rosea f. rosea were relatively distant and distinct. To us, this is the first report on (a) C. cicadae isolation from Mediterranean soils, (b) Purpureocillium lavendulum as an EPF worldwide; and (c) significant recoveries of M. robertsii using TM over GM. Overall, a 'Galleria-Tenebrio-bait method' is advocated to study the functional diversity of EPF in agroecosystems.

“…For instance, most invertebrates decrease in density in response to soil metal contamination (Nahmani and Lavelle, 2002;Santorufo et al, 2012;Pouyat et al, 2015); however, one group of soil macroinvertebrates, the isopods, has exhibited a positive density response to metal contamination in urban soils (Pouyat et al, 2015). Pesticides are also well-known to decrease microarthropod densities in urban soils; however, the effects can vary considerably with pesticide active ingredient, application rate, and frequency of use (Peck, 2009;Gan and Wickings, 2017). Other anthropogenic activities can have uniform positive effects on soil invertebrate communities.…”

Urban soils differ from those in other managed ecosystems in many ways, including their heterogeneity, unique organic matter inputs and exposure to past and present anthropogenic activities. Soil processes in urban systems are influenced by the microbiome, specifically bacterial and fungal communities that are currently recognized as the primary drivers of soil organic matter dynamics. However, our understanding of biotic controls on microbial communities is incomplete, particularly in regard to the roles of invertebrates. We aim to highlight how invertebrates and their interactions with microbial communities may shape ecosystem processes in urban systems. We discuss three primary pathways through which invertebrates are known to influence the soil microbiome: dispersal of microorganisms throughout soils, grazing on microbial biomass, and mixing of organic inputs within soils and subsequently altering microbial resource accessibility. These invertebrate-mediated pathways may be particularly important because of their influence on soil microbiomes of urban systems. We also propose future research directions aimed at quantifying the influence of invertebrates on soil microbial processes to gain a more comprehensive understanding of urban microbiome function. Understanding the impact of invertebrates on the microbiome of urban systems can potentially lead to better management of microbiomes and enhance microbe-driven ecosystem services.

“…Using different bait-insects sometimes may result in an occasional occurrence of a different, not so common EPF ( Goble et al 2010 ), however, to isolate the known EPF from soils, such as Beauveria and Metarhizium , the bait-insect G. mellonella has been the first choice as a bait-insect for the last three decades ( Zimmermann 1986 ). Numerous investigations have relied only on this method of EPF isolation ( Chandler et al 1997 , Bidochka et al 1998 , Ali-Shtayeh et al 2003 , Meyling and Eilenberg 2006 , Quesada-Moraga et al 2007 , Sun and Liu 2008 , Sun et al 2008 , Sevim et al 2009 , Fisher et al 2011 , Muñiz-Reyes et al 2014 , Pérez-González et al 2014 , Fernández-Salas et al 2017 , Gan and Wickings 2017 , Kirubakaran et al 2018 ).
