Climate Change, Carbon Dioxide, and Pest Biology, Managing the Future: Coffee as a Case Study
Publish Date: 2018-08-18
Author/Source: Lewis H. Ziska 1, Bethany A. Bradley, Rebekah D. Wallace, Charles T. Bargeron, Joseph H. LaForest, Robin A. Choudhury, Karen A. Garrett and Fernando E. Vega
Description: The challenge of maintaining sufficient food, feed, fiber, and forests, for a projected end of century population of between 9–10 billion in the context of a climate averaging 2–4 °C warmer, is a global imperative. However, climate change is likely to alter the geographic ranges and impacts for a variety of insect pests, plant pathogens, and weeds, and the consequences for managed systems, particularly agriculture, remain uncertain. That uncertainty is related, in part, to whether pest management practices (e.g., biological, chemical, cultural, etc.) can adapt to climate/CO2 induced changes in pest biology to minimize potential loss. The ongoing and projected changes in CO2, environment, managed plant systems, and pest interactions, necessitates an assessment of current management practices and, if warranted, development of viable alternative strategies to counter damage from invasive alien species and evolving native pest populations. We provide an overview of the interactions regarding pest biology and climate/CO2; assess these interactions currently using coffee as a case study; identify the potential vulnerabilities regarding future pest impacts; and discuss possible adaptive strategies, including early detection and rapid response via EDDMapS (Early Detection & Distribution Mapping System), and integrated pest management (IPM), as adaptive means to improve monitoring pest movements and minimizing biotic losses while improving the efficacy of pest control.

Wicked evolution: Can we address the sociobiological dilemma of pesticide resistance?
Publish Date: 2018-05-18
Author/Source: Fred Gould, Zachary S. Brown, Jennifer Kuzma
Description: Resistance to insecticides and herbicides has cost billions of U.S. dollars in the agricultural sector and could result in millions of lives lost to insect-vectored diseases. We mostly continue to use pesticides as if resistance is a temporary issue that will be addressed by commercialization of new pesticides with novel modes of action.

Spotted Wing Drosophila Fact Sheet
Publish Date: 2018
Author/Source: Juliet Carroll, NYS IPM Program
Description: Spotted wing drosophila (SWD) is a vinegar or fruit fly of East Asian origin. It has been in Hawaii since the 1980s, but was first discovered in California in 2008. By 2011, it had made its way into several other states, including New York. Today, it has spread throughout most of the continental US. It can directly infest the fruit of many plants, but is most attracted to raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, day-neutral strawberries, elderberries, cherries, and other late-season, soft-flesh fruits -- cultivated and wild.
