Thrips (Order Thysanoptera) are found worldwide and include almost 6000 species. Several of them are notorious for causing extensive crop damage (by feeding on leaf tissue or by vectoring viral disease). Their small size (usually less than 2 millimeters) and cryptic habits have facilited invasions and establishment in Europe in the wild or in green...
The Aeolothripidae genus Franklinothrips Back is redefined with a key provided to the 14 species recognised worldwide, of which F. brunneicornis from New Caledonia and F. strasseni from Nepal are described as new. Most of the species appear to be bisexual and localised in distribution, but F. vespiformis is usually unisexual and is found in many tr...
An established population of Thrips hawaiiensis (Morgan) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), a species originating from Asia and the Pacific, is reported for the first time in the Western Palaeartic zone (in the South of France). Notes relating to the current geographical distribution, identification, biology and risk of establishment of this potentially in...
Many distribution models developed to predict the presence/absence of invasive alien species need to be fitted to a training dataset before practical use. The training dataset is characterized by the number of recorded presences/absences and by their geographical locations. The aim of this paper is to study the effect of the training dataset charac...
The invasion of Europe by the western corn rootworm, North America's most destructive corn pest, is ongoing and represents a serious threat to European agriculture. Because this pest was initially introduced in Central Europe, it was believed that subsequent outbreaks in Western Europe originated from this area. Using model-based Bayesian analyses...
Currently, one of the most relevant
demands in seed production, storage and
commercialisation is the identification
of efficient methods for detecting insect
infestation in seeds. The consumption of seed
tissues by insects causes serious damage to
physical, physiological and health attributes
of seed quality. Metabolic activity of insects
in seed l...
The green cone-headed planthopper Acanalonia conica (Say, 1830) is a Neartic species recently detected in Italy, Switzerland, Romania, Slovenia and Austria. We here report its first capture in France based on a specimen found in Auzeville-Tolosanne (Haute-Garonne) and one observation uploaded on the online biodiversity platform iNaturalist.
In Europe, the meadow spittlebug Philaenus spumarius is the main vector of the quarantine bacterium Xylella fastidiosa. So far detection and identification of X. fastidiosa has more often been performed from plant matrices than insects, mainly using a real‐time PCR and Multilocus Sequence Typing approach. Detection of X. fastidiosa in its insect ve...
The genus Thrips comprises 296 species (ThripsWiki 2019) and is the largest of all Terebrantian genera. The only other Thysanopteran genera comparable in size are the phlaeothripids Haplothrips and Liothrips. Species of Thrips can be found in flowers and on leaves of a wide variety of plants from grasses to trees. Most of them are beneficial pollin...
Résumé.– Thrips setosusMoulton, 1928, une espèce allochtone de Thripidae, a été signalé pour la première fois de France et des Pays-Bas sur Hydrangea sp. en 2014. Depuis, il a été découvert dans d’autres pays européens et sur d’autres plantes-hôtes. Ce thrips est originaire d’Asie orientale où il est considéré comme un ravageur,
notamment en raiso...
Molecular tools to characterize greenhouses’s diversity in ornamentals crops Thrips are among the most important pests in greenhouses worldwide because of recurrent outbreaks of both native and invading species. Yet, their biodiversity, distribution and ecology remain still poorly documented, probably because of their small size, the high morpholog...
En Afrique, en Europe du Sud et au Moyen-Orient, le genre Spodoptera était jusqu’à présent représenté par huit
espèces, dont trois d’importance économique : S. exempta, S. exigua et S. littoralis (Brown, 1975). S. frugiperda
s’ajoute à ce trio de ravageurs.
The worldwide trade of agricultural products and high levels of disturbance and fertilisation make arable lands particularly vulnerable to biological invasions. Clearing for the development of arable land has been an unprecedented event that created a new and more homogeneous habitat which allowed many species to spread to become (sub)cosmopolitan...

Thrips are widespread pests in ornamental greenhouses in France. The survey of thrips populations in greenhouses on rose and gerbera crops in two sites in Southern France, at the INRA Research Center (Sophia-Antipolis, France) and at the CREAT Experimental Center (Nice, France), were performed from 2006 to 2009. During that period, more than 6000 t...
Many regulated and exotic plant pests threaten crops in the European Union. While inspections and surveys using diagnostic tests are useful to mitigate the risk of their introduction, prevent their permanent establishment and limit their subsequent spread , resources are dramatically limited to cover all regulated pests. Therefore detection efforts...
Assessing the likelihood and magnitude of spread is one of the cornerstones of pest risk analysis (PRA), and is usually based on qualitative expert judgment. This paper proposes a suite of simple ecological models to support risk assessors who also wish to estimate the rate and extent of spread, e.g. when modelling the dynamics of invasion and the...
A CLIMEX model for Diabrotica virgifera virgifera (western corn rootworm), was initially fitted to the known range of this pest in the USA and Mexico under rain-fed agricultural situations.When this model was projected into Europe, it became clear that soil moisture thresholds for irrigation differed markedly between Central Europe and the USA. A s...
The assessment of the suitability of the climate for pest establishment is an important part of pest risk analysis (PRA). This paper describes the work undertaken by the EU 7th Framework project PRA-TIQUE (Enhancements of Pest Risk Analysis Techniques) to develop guidance for this component of PRA. Firstly, there is a guide to rating the suitabilit...
