Herbivory on the pedunculate oak along an urbanization gradient in Europe: Effects of impervious surface, local tree cover, and insect feeding guild. Ecol Evol 2022; 12:e8709.

Abstract
Urbanization is an important driver of the diversity and abundance of tree-associated insect herbivores, but its consequences for insect herbivory are poorly understood. A likely source of variability among studies is the insufficient consideration of intra-urban variability in forest cover. With the help of citizen scientists, we investigated the independent and interactive effects of local canopy cover and percentage of impervious surface on insect herbivory in the pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) throughout most of its geographic range in Europe. We found that the damage caused by chewing insect herbivores as well as the incidence of leaf-mining and gall-inducing herbivores consistently decreased with increasing impervious surface around focal oaks. Herbivory by chewing herbivores increased with increasing forest cover, regardless of impervious surface. In contrast, an increase in local canopy cover buffered the negative effect of impervious surface on leaf miners and strengthened its effect on gall inducers. These results show that-just like in non-urban areas-plant-herbivore interactions in cities are structured by a complex set of interacting factors. This highlights that local habitat characteristics within cities have the potential to attenuate or modify the effect of impervious surfaces on biotic interactions.

EXPERIMENTAL & APPLIED ACAROLOGY 2019; 78:247-261. [PMID: 31129764 DOI: 10.1007/s10493-019-00382-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2019] [Accepted: 05/15/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
Eriophyoids affect crops around the globe directly or indirectly as virus vectors. Eriophyoid systematics initiated over a century ago, yet more than 90% of their fauna remain undescribed. Morphological identification is challenging because of a limited number of traits, cryptic speciation and complex life cycle reported for many species in the group. Nucleic acids extraction for mite identification is challenging due to their microscopic size with researchers using pooled samples leading to polymorphisms and inconclusive results. Identification of mite virus vectors is a tiresome task that could be simplified with a protocol that allows for the detection of viruses in the individual specimen. This communication describes an innovative, highly efficient extraction and detection pipeline. Direct Reverse Transcriptase - Polymerase Chain Reaction (Drt-PCR) assays were implemented in the molecular identification of eriophyoids and detection of viruses present in their bodies. The reverse transcription step allows for amplification from a single mite or egg, as in addition to the genomic DNA, it incorporates the abundant transcripts of targeted genes, whereas it also allows for the amplification of viruses. This communication provides an efficient, sensitive and cost-effective alternative that can be implemented in pest identification and detection as well as biological and ecological studies.
