Genome assembly of the ragweed leaf beetle, a step forward to better predict rapid evolution of a weed biocontrol agent to environmental novelties

Bouchemousse, Sarah ; Falquet, Laurent ; Müller-Schärer, Heinz

In: Genome Biology and Evolution, 2020, vol. 12, no. 7, p. 1167–1173

Rapid evolution of weed biological control agents (BCAs) to new biotic and abiotic conditions is poorly understood and so far only little considered both in pre-release and post-release studies, despite potential major negative or positive implications for risks of nontargeted attacks or for colonizing yet unsuitable habitats, respectively. Provision of genetic resources, such as assembled...

Assessing the risks of non-target feeding by the accidentally introduced ragweed leaf beetle, Ophraella communa, to native European plant species

Augustinus, Benno Andreas ; Gentili, Rodolfo ; Horvath, David ; Naderi, Ruhollah ; Sun, Yan ; Tournet, Anne-Marth Truce Eleonoor ; Schaffner, Urs ; Müller-Schärer, Heinz

In 2013, the North American oligophagous leaf beetle, Ophraella communa LeSage (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), was found in Europe for the first time. Recent studies in Northern Italy and Southern Switzerland record extensive defoliation by O. communa on its preferred host, common ragweed, Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. (Asteraceae, Tribe Heliantheae), and reductions in its flowering and seeding. In...

Isolation of 12 polymorphic tetranucleotide microsatellite markers of the leaf beetle Ophraella communa, a promising Ambrosia biocontrol agent also in Europe

Bordeyne, François ; Müller-Schärer, Heinz ; Bouchemousse, Sarah

In: Biocontrol Science and Technology, 2019, p. 1–8

Following its first record in Europe in 2013, the North American ragweed leaf beetle Ophraella communa, used already as a most successful biocontrol agent against common ragweed in China, is spreading rapidly, asking for a detailed analysis of the potential benefit and risk of this introduction for Europe. Here, we report twelve specific and polymorphic tetranucleotide microsatellite markers,...
