Aim of study: To elucidate which species and specific guilds of spiders prey on vectors of Xylella fastidiosa from agroecosystems in southwestern Spain using metabarcoding approach. Area of study: Southwestern Spain. Material and methods: Spiders sampling was carried out on ground cover vegetation of olive, citrus and vineyard fields using a batter...
The leafhopper fauna of the Iberian Peninsula is the least studied in Europe. Recent surveys in agroecosystem areas of southern Spain, specifically in Andalusia, aimed to identify potential Auchenorrhyncha vectors of the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa. During these surveys, three previously unrecorded species of Cicadellidae belonging to the subfamil...
The Madeira and Porto Santo Islands have both witnessed substantial habitat loss since their initial colonization. Despite their small size and the degradation of their natural habitats, they harbor a rich diversity of terrestrial invertebrates, including a significant number of endemic species. While research on Orthoptera fauna has predominantly...
Spotted-wing drosophila (SWD), Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura, 1931) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) cause yield losses and important economic impacts in fruits with thin epicarp. In the present study, the combination of powdered sulphur and predators/parasitoids for the control of SWD was analysed. First, the interaction of powered sulphur with Anthocoris...
During official phytosanitary surveys for citrus pests, the Afrotropical citrus leafhopper, Penthimiola bella (Stal) (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae), was found in Andalusia (Southern Spain) and Madeira island (Portugal). This data and tracking of a photo sharing website show that P. bella has been present in the south and east of the Iberian Peninsula an...
The effectiveness of two biological control agents, Chrysoperla carnea (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) and the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) against nymphs and adults of Neophilaenus campestris (Hemiptera: Aphrophoridae) was determined under laboratory conditions. First, different nymphs stages of N. campestris were...
El cultivo de frutos rojos supone un motor económico y social en el suroeste de España. Concretamente, en la provincia de Huelva se producen más del 80% de este tipo de frutos a nivel nacional. Sin embargo, en la Península Ibérica, no existen precedentes que estudien el estado de la biodiversidad y los factores que la afectan en este tipo de cultiv...
Con la introducción de la bacteria fitopatógena Xylella fastidiosa Wells en Europa, los sistemas productivos leñosos están amenazados, pudiendo ocasionar grandes pérdidas económicas y medioambientales. Los insectos que se alimentan del xilema de las plantas son los vectores potenciales de la bacteria. En Europa, se han detectado a Philaenus spumari...
The susceptibility of the newest and most used strawberry cultivars to the Spotted
Wing Drosophila (SWD) in southwestern Spain was evaluated. Sixteen strawberry cultivars were selected (‘Calderón’, ‘Calinda’, ‘Charlene’, ‘Flaminia’, ‘Flavia’, ‘Fortuna’, ‘Marisol’, ‘Marquis’, ‘Melissa’, ‘Palmeritas’, ‘Petaluma’, ‘Plared0955’, ‘Primoris’, ‘Rábida’, ‘...
Aim of study: To determine how susceptible the most used Southern highbush blueberry (SHB) cultivars were to the spotted wing Drosophila (SWD), Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura, 1931) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) as well as those recently introduced to Southwestern Spain.
Area of study: Southwestern Spain (Huelva province).
Material and methods: Nine of...
Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura, 1931) is an invasive pest from South-East Asia that can damage a wide range of soft-skinned fruit crops (especially berries) resulting in serious fi nancial losses. At present, control of D. suzukii is still mainly based on adult-oriented chemical pesticides that is likely to result in resistance and environmental poll...
Over the last decades, expansion and intensification of agriculture have prompted a loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services in agrosecoystems. In order to mitigate these effects, organic farming is one of the main agri-environment schemes proposed for biodiversity conservation and sustainability. In the present work, richness and abundance of s...
La única población andaluza de fartet (Aphanius iberus) se encuentra en el tramo medio-bajo de la cuenca del río Adra, límite meridional en la distribución de este endemismo ibérico. La especie ha sufrido importantes reducciones poblacionales durante la última década debido a una creciente presión antropogénica. En este trabajo mostramos algunas me...
