Comparative phylogeography across two trophic levels: the oak gall wasp Andricus kollari and its chalcid parasitoid Megastigmus stigmatizans

Insect parasitoids are important components of many terrestrial ecosystems. However, relatively little is known about the mechanisms responsible for structuring their populations. Here we investigate the ability of Megastigmus stigmatizans, an oak gall wasp parasitoid, to track its host Andricus kollari over two different timescales, and examine its current population structure across a divide in host population structure. The divide represents a transition in gall wasp host-plant species and offers the opportunity to examine whether the split, which divides gall wasp populations, manifests itself in the next trophic level. Analysis of mitochondrial haplotype data for parasitoid and host reveals: (i) A similar phylogeographic population structure for both, with Iberian populations more derived with respect to more eastern populations. (ii) It is likely that the host colonized the Iberian refuge earlier than the parasitoid, probably by at least one glacial cycle. (iii) Recent range expansion of central European host populations northwards has resulted in pursuit by parasitoids from the same geographic origin. (iv) In addition, Iberian parasitoid populations have crossed a major divide in host population structure to invade northern Europe. Such human-facilitated escape from natural refugial distributions may have important implications for the composition and structure of northern European gall wasp communities.     

Histological investigation on gall development induced by a worldwide invasive pest,Dryocosmus kuriphilus,on Castanea sativa

The Asian chestnut gall wasp Dryocosmus kuriphilus (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) is one of the most serious pests of chestnut trees worldwide. Wasps lay eggs into chestnut buds from mid Jane to late July, depending on latitude, and galls develop the following spring on new vegetation, reducing photosynthesis and nut production. We observed that modification of tissues surrounding D. kuriphilus eggs, which differentiate to form the larval chamber, started approximately 1 month after oviposition, shortly after eggs hatch. The larval chambers continued to increase slightly in size throughout the autumn months until January. After that, a period of stagnation, which corresponds to the plant's dormancy, occurred, followed by rapid growth from March to May, during the period from bud swelling to bud break. Galls continued to grow during the leaf expansion after bud break and stopped when plant organs achieved their final size. Our results have implications for the management of the pest, providing a better understanding of the critical time periods for the effective control.     

Ant mutualists alter the composition and attack rate of the parasitoid community for the gall wasp Disholcaspis eldoradensis (Cynipidae)

Abstract.  1. The strength or density dependence of pairwise species interactions can depend on the presence or absence of other species, especially potential mutualists.
2. The gall wasp Disholcaspis eldoradensis induces plant galls that secrete a sweet honeydew from their top surfaces while the wasp larvae are active. These galls are actively tended by Argentine ants, which collect the honeydew and drive off parasitoids attempting to attack the gall wasp.
3. When ants were excluded, the total rate of parasitism by seven species of parasitoids increased by 36%, and the rate of gall-wasp emergence decreased by 54%.
4. The total percentage parasitism was affected by gall density when ants were excluded but not when ants were unmanipulated, suggesting a change in parasitoid functional responses due to ant tending.
5. In addition, excluding ants significantly altered the proportions of different parasitoid species that emerged from galls; one parasitoid species increased from 1% to 34%, and another decreased from 46% to 19%.
6. The invasive Argentine ants studied are capable of maintaining the mutualism with the gall wasps that evolved in the presence of different ant species and also act as a selective filter for the local community of generalist parasitoids trying to attack this gall species.     

Using host plant relationships to help determine origins of the invasive Erythrina gall wasp, Quadrastichus erythrinae Kim (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae)

The Erythrina gall wasp has recently invaded a wide swath of Asian and Pacific countries, causing severe damage to several species of Erythrina trees. It poses an imminent threat to native Erythrina species in Latin America, Asia, Australia and the Pacific. While an African origin of the pest is presumed, it’s exact home on the continent remains unknown. We examined host plant relationships of the wasp using 71 of the world’s species of Erythrina that are planted in the botanical gardens of Hawaii. Observational and experimental data indicate that species endemic to Africa are more resistant to the wasp than those from other continents. Complete absence of galling on all Erythrina native to Benin, Burundi, Congo, Gambia, Lesoto, Rwanda, and Somalia make those countries highly unlikely to be the origin of the wasp. Mozambique, South Africa, Swaziland, and Zimbabwe were also shown to be unlikely sources. We present susceptibility indices of all 71 Erythrina species, including a number of economically useful trees, and we provide a warning for several species of conservation concern.

Gall wasps and their parasitoids in cork oak fragmented forests

Abstract.  1. This paper explores the potential effects of host-plant fragmentation on cork oak gall wasp populations (Cynipidae, Hymenoptera) and on their predators, lethal inquilines, and parasitoids. To address this objective, galls were collected across a gradient of cork oak ( Quercus suber ) forest fragmentation in the East Pyrenees (Albera, Spain), and they were incubated to obtain the parasitism rates.
2. Two hypotheses were tested: (1) Host-plant fragmentation may induce a decline in gall wasp populations because of area and isolation effects on local extinction and dispersal; as a consequence of that, parasitoids may decline even more strongly in fragmented habitats than their prey. (2) Host-plant fragmentation may cause a decline in gall wasp parasitoid populations that, in turn, can lead to an ecological release in their prey populations.
3. Among the eight cork oak gall wasps sampled in the study area of Albera, the gall abundances of three species ( Callirhytis glandium , Callirhytis rufescens , and Andricus hispanicus ) were significantly related to forest fragmentation. The overall abundance of gall wasps was affected by a radius of ≈ 890 m surrounding landscape, presenting constant abundances with forest loss until forest cover is reduced at ≈ 40%; below that value the abundance increased rapidly. Three inquilines and 23 parasitoids species were recorded after gall incubation. In 25 cases, species of inquilines and parasitoids were newly recorded for the corresponding host in the Iberian peninsula.
4. Although the overall parasitism rate was high (1.1), it was uncorrelated with fragmentation and with overall cynipid abundance. These results indicate that host-plant fragmentation was correlated with higher abundance of gall wasps, whereas the parasitism rate could not explain this hyper-abundance in small forest fragments.     

Effect of nitrogen fertilization on growth of Arundo donax and on rearing of a biological control agent,the shoot gall-forming wasp Tetramesa romana

The shoot tip-galling wasp Tetramesa romana Walker (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae) has been released for biological control of giant reed or arundo (Arundo donax L.) (Poaceae), an invasive grass in the USA and Mexico. The role of urea fertilization to improve plant-based mass-rearing was examined. In a greenhouse study, rhizomes were fertilized with urea pellets at rates equivalent to 1000 kg (low), 2000 kg (moderate), and 4000 (high) kg N per ha^–1. Total nitrogen content of ungalled stems was significantly 0.60–0.65% higher under low and moderate fertilization compared to unfertilized pots, and shoot water content was elevated 3–4% at all urea levels. Moderate fertilization significantly (by 1.4-fold) increased the relative growth rate of all shoots in pots, but did not affect final dry biomass. Fertilization did not affect number and duration of probing events by females. The percentage of shoots colonized by wasps that were galled, progeny production per shoot and per female, and emergent wasp size were not affected. However, average generation time (adult to adult) of emergent wasps was 4–5 days shorter on shoots in pots under moderate and high urea fertilization. After a four-week wasp emergence period, only 3–9% of progeny remained in fertilized shoots, while 21% of progeny remained inside unfertilized shoots. In field plots, fertilization did not affect gall density per m shoot length or per female released. Urea fertilization increased the efficiency of greenhouse rearing of the arundo wasp and availability of adults for release, even without direct effects on gall production.     

Development of a semi-nested PCR based method for sensitive detection of tumorigenic Agrobacterium in soil

AIMS: To develop a specific, sensitive and rapid PCR-based method for detection of tumorigenic Agrobacterium in soil. METHODS AND RESULTS: Three newly designed primers complementary to tms2 gene amplified DNA of only the tumor-inducing agrobacteria of 113 strains tested, resulting in 617 bp and 458 bp products in the first and second rounds of semi-nested PCR respectively. As optimized method of pre-incubation of soil suspensions on selective medium, DNA isolation and two-round semi-nested PCR enabled detection of 1-2 bacterial cells in 1 g of soil. Using this method tumour-inducing Agrobacterium was detected in 67 of 69 samples of naturally infested soil originating from the field, where plants with crown gall symptoms occurred. The pathogen was detected only in two samples of 15 tested, collected from a nursery where crown gall symptoms were not observed. CONCLUSIONS: The semi-nested PCR-based method allowed for sensitive and rapid detection of tumorigenic agrobacteria in soil. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The method is proposed for testing of soil in fields intended for nursery production of fruit trees, roses or other plants susceptible to crown gall, as well as a tool for ecological studies.
