There are overviews of current and eradicated infested areas throughout the state, and maps that are designed to clearly show the boundaries of the infested areas for the partially infested counties. GWSS established in Tahiti French Polynesia in 1999 and was likely introduced accidentally on ornamental plants imported from California. G. ashmeadi consistently outperformed G. tuberculifemur by demonstrating an ability to exploit a larger host egg age range and produced more female offspring when compared with G. tuberculifemur (Irvin and Hoddle 2010). In no-choice trials, G. tuberculifemur successfully parasitized eggs of two native US non-target sharpshooter species, H. liturata (Ball) and Oncometopia sp.      4.3 Anagrus epos5 Non-Target Impact Studies6 Natural Enemy Phenology in Southern California Further studies investigating the effect of food sources on fitness of female G. ashmeadi showed that access to softscale honeydew, honey-water, alyssum, and buckwheat flowers resulted in up to 378% more male progeny, 198% more female progeny, and 273% total progeny than those females provisioned with water only (Irvin and Hoddle 2007). Multi-function agricultural biodiversity: Pest management and other benefits. The reproductive and developmental biology of Gonatocerus ashmeadi Girault, a parasitoid of the glassy-winged sharpshooter Homalodisca coagulata (Say), was determined at five constant temperatures in the laboratory: 15; 20; 25; 30; 33 °C. 2000. 2003. Introduction of glassy-winged sharpshooter could result in serious damage to vineyards in Oregon and cause trade restrictions on many other host plants. These laboratory results, along with demonstrations of successful parasitization of at least five species of Argentinean Cicadellini sharp shooters in the field suggest that G. tuberculifemur is polyphagous, and may successfully exploit native non-target sharpshooter species in the tribes Proconiini and Cicadellini. The glassy-winged sharpshooter (Homalodisca coagulata) has been a serious pest in California for over a decade. Pierce’s Disease Control Symposium Proceedings, December 15-17, San Diego, California, pp. Glassy-winged sharpshooter underside These sharpshooters are about 12 millimetres (0.5 in) in length. Siebert J., 2001. The ability of GWSS to spread the xylem-dwelling plant pathogenic bacterium Xylella fastidiosa is the key reason GWSS is classified as a serious pest in California and elsewhere. The parasitoid established readily, and within seven months of release GWSS had been completely controlled in Tahiti and GWSS populations were reduced by over 95%. Available at: http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/phpps/pdcp/docs/2002LegReport.pdf. At this time, our area is expressing a high occurance of a number of types of sharpshooters. Oleander leaf scorch has been estimated to have caused damage in excess of $52 million along 2,000 miles of freeway median plantings (Costa et al. It has since become widely established in several counties across southern California (CDFA 2003). Biological Control 37 (1): 119-129. This sharpshooter is often found in coastal or riparian habitats consisting of trees, vines and succulent shrubs. comm.). However, only H. liturata was an ecologically acceptable host when given the opportunity to attack hosts on larger ‘whole plants’. In: denBoer, P. J., Gradwell, G. R. The ingest ion of dry sugars by adult entomophagous insects and the use of this feeding habit for measuring the moisture needs of parasites. Plant Disease 92 (1): 175. Eilenburg, J., Hajek, A., Lomer, C., 2001. To this end, the mymarid egg parasitoid Gonatocerus ashmeadi was imported into quarantine in Tahiti in September 2004 and studied to make sure it did not pose any undue risk to other insects already present in French Polynesia. Female G. ashmeadi do not feed on their hosts, and display no preoviposition periods (Chen et al., 2006a). Parasitoid larvae pupate within GWSS eggs and then chew circular holes through which they emerge in search of mates and new host eggs to attack. The genetic variability of resident G. ashmeadi and G. morrilli populations in California have been increased through the release of new stock by the CDFA and this, in turn, may lead to improved biological control. Sowing flowering plants [e.g., buckwheat, dill (Anethum graveolens L.), or alyssum as an understory in citrus orchards or vineyards harboring H. vitripennis could potentially provide a food source to Gonatocerus species. Damage caused by GWSS-X. The glassy-winged sharpshooter (Homalodisca vitripennis, formerly known as H. coagulata) is a large leafhopper insect from the family Cicadellidae, similar to other species of sharpshooter. Hoddle, M. S., Triapitsyn, S. V., 2004. Its head and back are stippled with either ivory or yellowish spots. Understorey management (i.e., the deliberate management of flowering plants beneath orchards and vineyards) is potentially one way to enhance parasitoid populations in agricultural systems thereby leading to improved pest control by natural enemies (Landis et al. Hartung, J. S., Beretta, J., Brlansky, R. H., Spisso, J., Lee, R. F., 1994. This would not be achieved if more daughters than sons were produced. Biological control has come under increased scrutiny because there is some evidence that under certain circumstances some natural enemies released for the control of a pest species may attack non-target species and adversely affect the populations of these organisms (Hoddle 2004b). However, herbicide and insecticide use in citrus orchards (preferred GWSS breeding and overwintering areas) and vineyards and extreme orchard hygiene can remove potential floral resources (e.g., weeds) that would provide food for parasitoids. (both Cicadellinae: Proconiini) (Jones et al., 2005a). Gurr G.M., Wratten, S.D., Luna, J.M.

Populations were then discovered in the Leeward Islands of Huahine and Bora Bora in 2003, and in Tahaa and Maupiti in 2005. Distribution of the glassy-winged sharpshooter, Homalodisca vitripennis (Germar), in the southeast United States as of 2004. This form of biological control with non-co-evolved natural enemies is called ‘new association’ biological control (Hokkanen and Pimentel 1989). (verified 8 July 2004). The glassy-winged sharpshooter (Homalodisca vitripennis, formerly known as H. coagulata) is a large leafhopper insect from the family Cicadellidae, similar to other species of sharpshooter… While G. morrilli is native to California, G. ashmeadi is self-introduced into California from the southeast USA and may have established on incipient GWSS populations or, more likely, on the native smoke-tree sharpshooter, Homalodisca liturata Ball, (Vickerman et al. These bi-weekly surveys have documented that natural enemies provide, on average, year round around egg parasitism of ~25% which may have been sufficient to cause the observed declines in GWSS densities. The insect can fly up to one-quarter of a mile, and it frequently appears in high numbers. University of California Press, Berkeley, CA, pp. Other trials have shown that additional supposedly pro-ovigenic mymarids species can mature additional eggs after emergence from hosts, resulting in conclusions that these species, too, exhibit synovigeny (Carbone and Rivera, 2003; Riddick, 2005b). The glassy-winged sharpshooter (GWSS) is an invasive insect species that transmits Xylella fastidiosa, the bacterium causing Pierce's disease of grapevine and other leaf scorch diseases.X. In: Pickett, C.H., Bugg, R.L. 2008). It is able to survive winter temperatures dipping as low as 20 degrees Fahrenheit. 2000). Additional information. A study conducted by the University of California found that between 1994 and 2000, Pierce’s disease caused nearly $30 million in losses and destroyed over 1,000 acres of grape vines in Northern California (CDFA 2008). Trials were conducted to compare egg age preference, competitive ability, and behavior between G. deleoni and G. ashmeadi, the dominant parasitoid of California. The Sharpshooter is native to the southeastern United States, but was probably introduced to California around 1990. The project investigated the use of buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) and cahaba vetch (Vicia sativa L.) for management of arthropod grape pests in California and included a large-scale field trial located at Bella Vista vineyard in Temecula, California. This rapid movement between islands strongly suggested that quarantines that were established to reduce GWSS were not working and people were still moving plants infested with GWSS eggs. The parasitoid larvae pupate inside the GWSS egg and then chew a circular exit hole through which they emerge. (2007) demonstrated that honey-water and buckwheat significantly increased the longevity of both male and female G. ashmeadi, G. triguttatus, and G. fasciatus up to 1760%, 1223%, 1359%, respectively when compared with individuals given only water . Hokkanen, H.M.T., and Pimentel, D. 1989. Chen, W. L., Leopold, R. A., Harris, M. O. In this manner, GWSS egg parasitoids help regulate pest population growth and subsequent abundance without the need for insecticides. Coffee leaf scorch bacterium: Axenic culture, pathogenicity, and comparison with. ), Enhancing Biological Control—Habitat Management to Promote Natural Enemies of Agricultural Pests. 2003. GWSS transmits and … Of those egg masses attacked, 44% of the eggs were parasitized. A large insect - almost ½ inch (12mm) long - the glassy-winged sharpshooter is dark brown to black with a lighter underside. The potential effect of GWSS vectoring X. fastidiosa into native vegetation in California that previously has had no prior association with the bacterium is particularly worrisome as it may lead to new disease epidemics not previously seen. Irvin et al. Biocontrol 46: 387-400. Additionally, sticky cards and malaise trap surverys in southern Californian habitats occupied by G. atropunctata have yielded no captures of the widespread and established parasitoid G. ashmeadi. How risky is biological control? Female parasitoids lay their eggs inside GWSS eggs and the developing parasitoid larvae kill GWSS eggs by feeding inside the GWSS egg. GLASSY-WINGED SHARPSHOOTER STATEWIDE SURVEY / DELIMITATION PROTOCOLS FOR 2001 SURVEY AREA Based on the summer 2000 survey, counties within the potential range of the glassy-winged sharpshooter (GWSS) are designated as infested, partially-infested, or apparently free of GWSS. The small size of G. fasciatus in comparison to G. ashmeadi and G. fasciatus possibly limits the range of GWSS egg ages available for parasitism. Some examples of conservation biological control include the provision of grassy ridges called ‘beetle banks’ in cereal crops, sowing flowering plants underneath orchards and vineyards, the use of sown wild-flower strips, intercropping two food crops, and reducing pesticide use to conserve natural enemies. Homalodisca liturata, a native sharpshooter from the same tribe and genus and most similar to GWSS (Figures 10 and 11) in its egg laying and generalist plant feeding habits, is expected to be utilized by introduced Gonatocerus species for the classical biological control of H. vitripennis. Canadian Entomologist 95: 785-792. However, this time eggs were parasitized by G. ashmeadi, and this is how it was moved unintentionally between islands and archipelagos. Parasitism of the glassy-winged sharpshooter, Homalodisca coagulata (Homoptera : Cicadellidae): Functional response and superparasitism by Gonatocerus ashmeadi (Hymenoptera : Mymaridae). Introduced parasitic wasps could control glassy-winged sharpshooter. College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences, Prepared by the Applied Biological Control Research Laboratory. Survival of female G. ashmeadi provided citrus foliage infested with soft scale (Coccus hesperidum L. [a common citrus pest]) was 565% higher than parasitoids on citrus foliage alone, and alyssum increased female survival 252% compared with water. Theoretically, G. deleoni should not be able flourish in the southeastern USA which could minimize establishment risks and reduced threats of attacks to non-target native leafhoppers in this area should G. deleoni be accidentally introduced here from California (de León et al. 2001. To combat the GWSS infestation in French Polynesia it was decided that the best strategy to use would be classical biological control. New association biological control of H. vitripennis using G. tuberculifemur raises concerns about potential unwanted impacts on native non-target species of sharp shooters. The bluegreen sharpshooter (Figures 12 and 13), G. atropunctata, also in the cicadellini tribe, prefers humid, partially shaded and densely vegetated habitats. California Department of Food and Agriculture, Sacramento, CA. Pimentel, D. 1963. This harmful pest, native to the Southeastern United States and Mexico, is a type of large leafhopper that feeds on fluids in tissues of various plants. A new, Triapitsyn S.V., Morgan, D.J.W., Hoddle, M.S., Berezovskiy, V.V. This was the first time A. epos was collected from a sharpshooter species. This was facilitated, in part, by a lack of co-evolved natural enemies in the invaded area, coupled with irrigation of agricultural and urban areas in desert habitats normally too dry to support GWSS populations (Hoddle 2004a), and possibly adaptation to the environment of Southern California.The glassy-winged sharpshooter (GWSS), Homalodisca vitripennis (Germar) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), is native to the southeastern United States and northeastern Mexico.

GIS is used as a decision support tool in the area wide management of glassy-winged sharpshooter (GWSS) in California. Results from laboratory studies have indicated that the percentage of male progeny produced by female G. ashmeadi generally increases from a minimum of 8% to a maximum of 100% as females age from 1-14 days (Irvin and Hoddle 2007). Zwolfer, H., 1971. ), 2010. The CDFA anticipated that G. deleoni would prove to be a more successful biological control agent than G. tuberculifemur because the host and geographic range of G. deleoni is narrower than G. tuberculifemur (Triapitsyn et al. Consequently, GWSS populations in French Polynesia were free of the pressures associated with natural enemies and this pest reached extraordinarily high densities in Tahiti. View this species on GBIF GWSS has piercing-sucking mouthparts, and nymphs and adults feed exclusively on xylem fluids. The parasitoid also spread unassisted to every other island infested by GWSS. ), Proceedings of the Pierce’s Disease Research Symposium. In 2010, average peak population densities of GWSS were only ~7% of what was measured in 2002, indicating that populations of this pest have declined by around 93% at this study site. American Naturalist 99 (909): 489-494. GWSS has shown strong invasive potential having established outside of its home range in California [established ca.1990 (Sorensen and Gill 1996)], French Polynesia [established 1999 (Cheou 2002)], Hawaii [established 2004 (Hoover 2004)], Easter Island [established 2005 (Sandra Ide pers. For example, of the 69,474 G. triguttatus that were released in 2008, only ~33 parasitized H. vitripennis egg masses were recovered for this species in 11 out of 65 release sites (17%). When female Gonatocerus parasitoids fail to encounter other ovipositing females on a GWSS egg mass, progeny output is strongly female-biased. Because only a few eggs in an egg mass were attacked (indicating inefficient and opportunistic exploitation) and only males were reared from GWSS eggs (which suggest poor host quality as females did not oviposit fertilized female eggs), and the wasp responsible for attacking GWSS egg masses was a species of platygasterid, a family that does not specialize on sharpshooter eggs, but will parasitize various species of leafhoppers, indicated there were no native specialized parasitoids attacking GWSS. Brochosome influence on parasitisation efficiency of, Vickerman D.B., Hoddle, M.S., Triapitysn, S.V., Stouthamer, R. 2004. Habitation manipulation often involves increasing species diversity and structural complexity of agro-ecosytems to provide resources such as shelter, pollen and nectar, and/or alternative prey and alternative hosts for natural enemies (Gurr et al. The different habitats occupied by these three non-target sharpshooter species, different egg laying habits (e.g., small eggs laid singly or small eggs laid in groups), and the absence of any records indicating emergence of non-native Gonatocerus species from eggs of these species may, in combination, make these non-target sharpshooter species improbable alternate hosts for Gonatocerus spp. Based on results from these quarantine studies, we speculate that: (1) G. deleoni may have difficulties establishing in areas where G. ashmeadi is present, and (2) the potential impact of releasing G. deleoni in California may be negligible unless G. deleoni can occupy and provide substantial benefit a niche in the field not currently occupied by G. ashmeadi. Originally referred to as G. tuberculifemur “Clade 2” (Triapitsyn et al., 2008), G. deleoni is genetically and morphologically distinct from G. tuberculifemur. What was notable about this outbreak was its especially rapid pace and that it was attributable to a novel insect vector, the glassy-winged sharpshooter Homalodisca vitripennis (GWSS; fig. The parasitoid was released on May 2, 2005 on Tahiti. Establishment and recovery of G. triguttatus and G. fasciatus in the field has been very low (see above) and the results of these experiments may suggest why this is the case; G. ashmeadi is too strong a competitor and has successfully excluded these other species. Pilkington, L.J., Irvin, N.A., Boyd, E.A., Hoddle, M.S., Triapitsyn, S.V., Carey, B.G., Jones, W.A., Morgan, D.J.W., 2005. Although A. epos has no evolutionary history with H. vitripennis, the Minnesota strain was introduced into California in 2005, making it a “new association” biological control agent of H. vitripennis in California. 2007, Irvin, N. A., Hoddle, M. S., Morgan, D. J. W. 2006, Irvin, N.A., Hoddle, M.S., Suarez-Espinoza, J., 2009, College of Natural & Agricultural Sciences, This species is gregarious in nature and smaller in size compared with. At the end of 2004 and the beginning of 2005, GWSS populations were discovered outside of the Society Islands in two other archipelagos of French Polynesia substantially distant from Tahiti: the Australs, where two islands were infested (Rurutu and Tubuai) (January 2005) and the Marquesas, where one island, Nuku Hiva, was found infested in November 2004. Consequently, it has been proposed that new association biological control agents which have no evolutionary history with the target pest should be used because the pest will be highly vulnerable to attack by this novel agent. No-choice laboratory studies showed progeny production for G. ashmeadi, G. triguttatus, and G. fasciatus was greatest from GWSS eggs 3, 4 and 2 days of age, respectively (Irvin and Hoddle, 2005).

Long-term monitoring of GWSS at UCR Ag Ops is ongoing and the exact mechanisms behind these observed declines are still to be elucidated. This may indicate that G. deleoni is less efficient at parasitizing H. vitripennis compared to G. tuberculifemur, possibly due to it being more host specific (Triapitsyn et al. Montero-Astua, M., Saborio, G. R., Chacon-Diaz, C., Garita, L., Villalobos, W., Hartung, J. S., Rivera, C., 2008.

Conservation biological control has been defined as ‘modification of the environment or existing practices to protect and enhance specific natural enemies of other organisms to reduce the effect of pests’ (Eilenberg et al 2001). G. ashmeadi had a significantly female biased sex ratio for all three experimental designs, whereas, G. deleoni offspring sex ratio was not significantly greater than 50%. Biological control of aphids in lettuce crops using in-Weld insectaries. It is possible the bacterium has been introduced into these South Pacific Islands by means of the importation of ornamental plants from areas in the Americas where X. fastidiosa is native. © 2020 Regents of the University of California. ), Ecological Engineering for Pest Management: Advances in Habitat Manipulation for Arthropods, CSIRO Publishing, Collingwood, VIC, Australia, pp. Researchers at the University of California at Riverside (UCR), United States Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS) and the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) have pursued classical biological control strategies to reduce populations of GWSS in California. The only non-target species susceptible to G. ashmeadi was H. liturata. At this time naturally occurring parasitism of GWSS eggs was very low on the island of Mo’orea, the immediate neighboring island to Tahiti. In an effort to use natural enemies to control invasive GWSS populations in southern California, these parasitoids were imported from the southeastern states, cleared through quarantine, and introduced into urban and agricultural areas. This may occur because the smaller ovipositor of G. fasciatus may be unable to pierce the chorion of older eggs as they harden during maturation. (Eds. Cheou D. 2002. In the laboratory, it has been shown that floral, extrafloral nectar, and honeydew can maximize parasitoid longevity, fecundity, searching activity, and parasitism rates and female sex ratios (Tylianakis et al., 2004; Berndt and Wratten, 2005; Irvin et al., 2006b). Mymarid (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) parasitoids which attack GWSS eggs are small, approximately 0.5 – 1.5 mm (0.02 – 0.06 inches) in length. The symptoms are associated with the presence of Xylella fastidiosa in the plant. (2008), Molecular characterization of, de Lima, J. E. O., Miranda, V. S., Hartung, J. S., Brlansky, R. H., Coutinho, A., Roberto, S. R., Carlos, E. F., 1998. GWSS has been established in Southern California since about 1990 and has also successfully invaded French Polynesia, Hawaii and Easter Island. The winged parasitoids can fly, and after mating they search out more GWSS eggs to parasitize. Morgan, pers. This was very annoying because adult GWSS would die and need to be swept up, the wingbeat frequency of adults flying past heads caused an unpleasant “buzz” in ears, and adults would occasionally “bite” people when they landed on exposed skin and probed with their needle-like mouthparts. Choice and no-choice assay designs would need to be conducted to determine if similar levels of polyphagy would be observed in areas where releases of G. tuberculifemur would be considered (i.e. Annual Review of Entomology 45:175-201. )], and the Cook Islands [established 2007 (Disna Gunawardana pers. Map 1. They showed that G. ashmeadi consistently outperformed G. tuberculifemur in varying experimental arenas, and parasitized between 25% and 50% more eggs than G. tuberculifemur across varying host densities, egg ages, and exposure times (Irvin et al. , Costa H.S., Blua, M.J., Bethke, J.A., Redak, R.A. 2000 less.
