  • a success story water primroses aquatic Plant Pests
    Aquatic Conservation-marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 2013
    Co-Authors: Lise Thouvenot, Jacques Haury, Gabrielle Thiébaut
    Abstract:

    Aquatic ecosystems are currently invaded by non-indigenous aquatic Plants. A major challenge for biological invasion research is to develop the ability to predict the spread of species. Throughout the world, Ludwigia peploides subsp. montevidensis and Ludwigia grandiflora subsp. hexapetala are now considered to be two of the most invasive aquatic Plants. This paper reviews the scientific knowledge about these species, their ecological and socio-economic impacts and methods of management. Water primrose possesses some advantageous biological traits, such as rapid growth rate, efficient reproductive capacity, high plasticity in growth response, broad ecological tolerance and allelopathic compounds which might explain its expansion and colonization of numerous ecosystems. Much attention must be paid to Ludwigia grandiflora subsp. hexapetala and Ludwigia peploides subsp. montevidensis. According to climatic models, global warming will further increase the spread of these species in Europe. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

  • evolutionary tools for phytosanitary risk analysis phylogenetic signal as a predictor of host range of Plant Pests and pathogens
    Evolutionary Applications, 2012
    Co-Authors: Gregory S Gilbert, Roger D Magarey, Karl Suiter, Campbell O Webb
    Abstract:

    Assessing risk from a novel pest or pathogen requires knowing which local Plant species are susceptible. Empirical data on the local host range of novel Pests are usually lacking, but we know that some Pests are more likely to attack closely related Plant species than species separated by greater evolutionary distance. We use the Global Pest and Disease Database, an internal database maintained by the United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service – Plant Protection and Quarantine Division (USDA APHIS-PPQ), to evaluate the strength of the phylogenetic signal in host range for nine major groups of Plant Pests and pathogens. Eight of nine groups showed significant phylogenetic signal in host range. Additionally, Pests and pathogens with more known hosts attacked a phylogenetically broader range of hosts. This suggests that easily obtained data – the number of known hosts and the phylogenetic distance between known hosts and other species of interest – can be used to predict which Plant species are likely to be susceptible to a particular pest. This can facilitate rapid assessment of risk from novel Pests and pathogens when empirical host range data are not yet available and guide efficient collection of empirical data for risk evaluation.
