Insects and spiders on the web: Monitoring and mitigating online exploitation of species and services Publish Date: 2022-08 Author/Source: John E.Losey, Chang Chen, Abby E.Davisa,John F.Deitsch, Johanna G.Gertin, Jacob A.Gorneau, Eve M.Hallock, Juan PabloJordán, Zoe J.Kim,Emma G.Kubinski, Nathan R.Laurenz,Sarah B.Li,Emma K.Mullen,AoifeO’Brien, Leeah I.Richardson, SierraVincent,Steven Y.Wang Description: Exploitation of insects and spiders through commercialization represents a serious threat to rare species and to common species that provide valuable ecological services. The speed, scope, and anonymity, of online commerce places full monitoring and managing of exploitation beyond the resources available to regulatory agencies. To assess the level of online commerce of insect and spider species and services and to test the feasibility of focused searches by student-specialists to generate “leads” for regulatory agencies to pursue, a group of entomology students lead by entomologists and wildlife biologists performed a directed search for sales of insect and spider species listed on CITES Appendices, the IUCN Red List, and the U.S. Endangered Species List, and species that provide services.

Biological invasion costs reveal insufficient proactive management worldwide Publish Date: 2022-05-01 Author/Source: Ross N. Cuthbert, Christophe Diagne, Emma J. Hudgins, Anna Turbelin, Danish A. Ahmed, Céline Albert, Thomas W. Bodey, Elizabeta Briski, FranzEssl,Phillip J.Haubrock, Rodolphe E.Gozlan,Natalia Kirichenko, Melina Kourantidou, Andrew M.Kramer,FranckCourchamp Description: While preventative invasive species management is often considered the most cost-effective, there remains a lack of investment in early action for biological invasions. Through statistical modeling, they also identify trends in the degree of proactive (pre-invasion) and reactive (post-invasion) management across species, countries, and time. What the researchers found was a disproportionate amount of spending on post-invasion; over 25 times more than that spent on preventative management.

Biological invasion costs reveal insufficient proactive management worldwide Publish Date: 2022-05 Author/Source: Ross N.Cuthbert,Christophe Diagnec,Emma J. Hudginsd,Anna Turbelin,Danish A.Ahmed,Céline Albert,Thomas W.Bodey,Elizabeta Briski,Franz Essl, Phillip J. Haubrock, Rodolphe E. Gozlan, Natalia Kirichenko, Melina Kourantidouno, Andrew M.Kramer, Franck Courchamp Description: he global increase in biological invasions is placing growing pressure on the management of ecological and economic systems. However, the effectiveness of current management expenditure is difficult to assess due to a lack of standardized measurement across spatial, taxonomic and temporal scales. The researcher’s results indicate insufficient management — particularly pre-invasion — and urge better investment to prevent future invasions and to control established alien species.

A derived honey bee stock confers resistance to Varroa destructor and associated viral transmission Publish Date: 2022-04-07 Author/Source: Thomas A. O’Shea-Wheller, Frank D. Rinkevich, Robert G. Danka, Michael Simone-Finstrom, Philip G. Tokarz & Kristen B. Healy Description: Here, we characterise the parasite and viral dynamics of a Varroa-resistant honey bee stock, designated ‘Pol-line’, using a large-scale longitudinal study. Results demonstrate markedly reduced Varroa levels in this stock, diminished titres of three major viruses (DWV-A, DWV-B, and CBPV), and a two-fold increase in survival. Levels of a fourth virus that is not associated with Varroa—BQCV—do not differ between stocks, supporting a disruption of the transmission pathway.

Early season plant cover supports more effective pest control than insecticide applications Publish Date: 2022-03-27 Author/Source: Elizabeth K. Rowen, Kirsten A. Pearsons, Richard G. Smith, Kyle Wickings, John F. Tooker Description: The use of cover crops and other conservation-agriculture practices can help reduce erosion and nutrient loss, enhance soil health, and improve pest management, noted study co-author John Tooker, professor of entomology in Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences. Although the adoption of such methods has increased, he said, the use of pesticides continues to grow in the United States and globally, potentially killing nontarget, beneficial species and reversing pest-management gains from the use of conservation-agriculture tactics.
