TY - JOUR A1 - Plarre, Rüdiger T1 - More than a pest management tool - 45 years of practical experience with insect pheromones in stored-product and material protection JF - Journal of plant diseases and protection N2 - The application of pheromone-baited traps to control pest insects in stored food or materials has become well established over the past decades. The main pheromone components of all major stored-product and material pests have been identified. Pest monitoring with pheromone traps is a key factor in integrated pest management to estimate population density build-ups and they may be used to define economic threshold levels. Male-attracting sex pheromones, e.g. for stored-product pyralids, the clothes moths, and some anobiid beetles, are especially effective in this aspect. Monitoring pest population can facilitate optimal spatial and temporal control strategies, including efficacy evaluation of the implemented control measures. In addition to the sex pheromones, some beetles, such as grain and flour beetles, utilize aggregation pheromones, which attract both sexes.Implementation of these pheromones for mass trapping,which works well for the control of bark beetles in the forest environment, has been less successful for stored-product protection for various reasons and is thus not an established means of control. When the monitoring tools are used in landscape areas, scrublands, forests, and away from anthropogenic influencedenvironments, natural reservoirs of a pest species and sources of new infestations can be identified. In addition to an economically driven adoption of pheromone traps, they may also provide information of a pest's general biology. Because stored-product and material pests must be considered neozoons in most parts of the world, their occurrence in natural habitats indicates a species' autecological capability to successfully compete with native species and to become faunistically established in non-synanthropic environments outside their zoogeographic origin. This review focuses on the use of pheromone traps for monitoring in outdoor situations.

T1 - Shed Light in the DaRk LineagES of the Fungal Tree of Life—STRES JF - Life N2 - The polyphyletic group of black fungi within the Ascomycota (Arthoniomycetes, Dothideomycetes, and Eurotiomycetes) is ubiquitous in natural and anthropogenic habitats. Partly because of their dark, melanin-based pigmentation, black fungi are resistant to stresses including UV- and ionizing-radiation, heat and desiccation, toxic metals, and organic pollutants. Consequently, they are amongst the most stunning extremophiles and poly-extreme-tolerant organisms on Earth. Even though ca. 60 black fungal genomes have been sequenced to date, [mostly in the family Herpotrichiellaceae (Eurotiomycetes)], the class Dothideomycetes that hosts the largest majority of extremophiles has only been sparsely sampled. By sequencing up to 92 species that will become reference genomes, the “Shed light in The daRk lineagES of the fungal tree of life” (STRES) project will cover a broad collection of black fungal diversity spread throughout the Fungal Tree of Life. Interestingly, the STRES project will focus on mostly unsampled genera that display different ecologies and life-styles (e.g., ant- and lichen-associated fungi, rock-inhabiting fungi, etc.). With a resequencing strategy of 10- to 15-fold depth coverage of up to ~550 strains, numerous new reference genomes will be established. To identify metabolites and functional processes, these new genomic resources will be enriched with metabolomics analyses coupled with transcriptomics experiments on selected species under various stress conditions (salinity, dryness, UV radiation, oligotrophy). The data acquired will serve as a reference and foundation for establishing an encyclopedic database for fungal metagenomics as well as the biology, evolution, and ecology of the fungi in extreme environments.
