Recent and fast invasion in Europe: The case of the Western conifer seed bug *Leptoglossus occidentalis*

MA Auger-Rozenberg, V Lesieur, A Farinha, A. Roques

Introduction: Many alien insect species that have arrived in Europe since the late 1990s have spread extremely rapidly, such as the western seed bug *Leptoglossus occidentalis* (Hemiptera: Coreidae). This native of Western North America was unintentionally introduced in Eastern USA during the 1950s, then spread eastwards to the Atlantic coast in the 1990s, before being recorded in Italy in 1999 and colonizing most of Europe within just a decade. Considered as a major seed pest in conifer seed orchards of its native range, the bug could also be a threat for the natural regeneration of conifer forests in Europe.

Methods: After characterizing the routes of its fast expansion in Europe using molecular markers, we assessed and compared the impacts of the bug in the French commercial seed orchards versus natural pine stands.

Results / Conclusion: The molecular multi-marker strategy confirmed that the European populations result from several independent introductions from the invaded eastern North America, which may have acted as a bridgehead for the European invasion. In seed orchards, the damage was not negligible especially taking into account the economic value of improved seeds. In natural stands, they depended on year and location but could lead to a dramatic decrease in pine seed yield, confirming that *L. occidentalis* can represent a serious threat for seed production in invaded areas not only in seed orchards but also in natural stands.

# Welcome Message from the Chairman of the ICE Council

Dear Colleagues:

<figure><img src="image_11.png" /></figure>

On behalf of the Council for International Congresses of Entomology, I extend to all of you a warm welcome to the XXV International Congress of Entomology (ICE 2016) in Orlando, Florida, USA, September 25-30, 2016. The theme for ICE 2016 is "Entomology Without Borders." ICE 2016 will provide an excellent opportunity to discuss and learn about the recent advances in the science of entomology and related disciplines, and to address basic issues such as food security and conservation of the environment. The

Congress will also provide an opportunity for delegates to interact with others from different continents, establish contacts, and initiate collaboration among scientists from different parts of the world. ICE 2016 is being hosted by the Entomological Society of America (ESA).

The scientific deliberations of the XXV International Congress of Entomology are spread across 30 subject areas with eight plenary speakers of international repute, as well as keynote lectures by two Nobel Laureates. Consequently, ICE 2016 will create an awareness of the importance of arthropods in the environment, highlight the progress being made in the management of some of the intricate pest problems around the world, and detail the challenges that we need to address for food security and human health. The Congress will also provide an opportunity for delegates to discuss the challenges posed by the invasive pests, effects of climate change on pests and pest management, use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) for pest management, and the biosafety of GMOs to the environment. Rapid and cost effective adoption of biotechnology-derived products will depend on the development of a full understanding of the interaction of genes within their genomic environment, and with the external environment in which their conferred phenotype must interact.

The enthusiasm and excitement displayed by the Organizing Committee, Co-Chaired by Dr. Alvin Simmons and Dr. Walter Leal, with outstanding support from the President of ESA, Dr. May Berenbaum, and the staff of the ESA, certainly promises that the XXV International Congress of Entomology will be a grand success. I take this opportunity to congratulate and thank the Organizing Committee of ICE 2016, which has left no stone unturned, to organize ICE 2016 in a highly professional and systematic manner. I look forward to meeting each of you and thank you for your enthusiastic participation and support to make ICE 2016 a grand success.

Sincerely yours,

On behalf of the 2016 XXV International Congress of Entomology (ICE) Organizing Committee, it is a distinct honor and pleasure to welcome each of you to Orlando, Florida, USA. The last time ICE was held in the USA (1976), delegates presented 551 oral papers and posters. For ICE 2016, nearly 6,000 oral and poster presentations, including 298 symposia, have been accepted, and the largest gathering of entomologists in history (over 6,500 delegates) is assembling. Among the highlights are keynote talks by two Nobel Laurates and talks by eight

plenary speakers. All aspects of entomology will be addressed within 30 subject sections. Papers among these entomological subjects will be presented within 50 concurrent sessions. Scientists of various disciplines are being represented at this Congress. Although not directly a part of the Congress, several workshops and satellite symposia will be held in conjunction with the Congress. The Entomological Society of America (ESA) is the host society for ICE 2016.

The theme of this Congress, "Entomology Without Borders," is fitting for many reasons. Entomology has gone beyond borders in the 21st century. In this global system, there are increased challenges and opportunities. With its multidisciplinary approach, entomology explores new scientific frontiers. Arthropods do not respect human-established geographical borders. The ease of international transportation and global trade allows the convenient dispersal of arthropods and associated diseases affecting humans, animals, and plants. Changes in climatic boundaries, urban population development, and agro-ecosystem borders have implications for population dynamics of both native and invasive species. In our interconnecting world, it is essential that international stakeholders come together to solve entomological problems of mutual interest. Electronic systems and devices make it more convenient to communicate globally regarding entomological problems and solutions, and in forging collaborations. Therefore, this Congress was organized in concert with the Congress theme, and delegates from 97 countries are convening.

Many domestic and international colleagues (representing 32 countries) contributed to the organization of this historical premier entomological event, and our thanks are extended to them. We also thank the ESA staff members for their support. We acknowledge and value the participation of each delegate at this Congress whose combined contribution will provide a rewarding event for the entire Congress. We also very much appreciate the financial and in-kind support from sponsors and international societies and organizations.

The venue, the Orange County Convention Center, is a spacious facility that has all of the conveniences to meet our needs. Whether you avail yourself of professional tours or explore on your own, activities are unlimited in Orlando, throughout Florida, and across the USA. We are certain that this Congress will be rewarding professionally as well as personally for each of you, and we trust that you will have fond memories of your time at ICE 2016 in the USA.

Welcome back to the USA!

Welcome Message from ESA President May Berenbaum

<figure><img src="image_29.png" /></figure>

It's customary for the President to welcome everyone to the Annual Meeting of the Entomological Society of America (ESA) (our 64th), and to the host city (Orlando, Florida, for the first time), but this year I have the ineffable pleasure of welcoming you all to the XXV International Congress of Entomology (ICE) at the same time. It has been 40 years since ESA President Ray Smith welcomed 2,315 attendees, from 72 countries, to the XV International Congress of Entomology in Washington, D.C. I wasn't there—as a second-year graduate student, it was beyond my imagination to attend such an important meeting (and, truth be told, I wasn't yet an ESA member; I didn't join until spring 1981, my first year as an Assistant Professor of

Entomology). Now, as President, I'm welcoming you to a meeting that promises to break all

kinds of records, both in terms of the number and diversity of attendees and the breadth of topics covered. Appropriately enough, the USA seems to have super-sized ICE.

The theme of this Congress and our Annual Meeting is “Entomology Without Borders,” as befits the globalization of 21st century science in general, and ESA’s strategic principle stating that, because the science of entomology is global, ESA must also act globally. Although there remain entomological challenges that are strictly regional (e.g., pests of Brazil nuts?), most of the challenges—and opportunities—are now thoroughly international in nature. Since it was first convened in 1910, ICE has been dedicated to promoting international communication and collaboration among entomologists, but today the benefits of sharing knowledge and working together simply can’t be overstated. As in 1976, ICE will be the Annual Meeting of the Entomological Society of America, and, as well, the Annual Meeting of the Entomological Society of Canada, the Annual Meeting of the Florida Entomological Society, and International Branch of the ESA, and it will be the site of co-located meetings of the Entomological Society of China, the International Union for the Study of Social Insects North American Section, the International Organisation for Biological and Integrated Control, the Union of Japanese Societies of Insect Science, and the Sociedade Entomológica do Brasil.

Many of the same challenges that occupied ICE15 attendees in 1976 can be found among the symposia on the program for ICE25—such basic pursuits as tackling the systematics of hyperdiverse taxa, the physiology of adaptation to extreme environments, and the sensory biology of insect communication, and such practical challenges as managing invasive species, pesticide resistance, and arthropod-borne disease. But over the past 40 years, new tools, new approaches, and two generations of new investigators have led to astonishing progress. At ICE25, entire symposia are devoted to subjects that would have seemed like fantasy 40 years ago—gene editing technologies, microbiomes, unmanned aerial drones for mosquito control, genetically modified insecticidal crops, stable isotope “fingerprinting,” and the Zika virus pandemic, to cite a few. Another new emphasis for ICE25, and a new priority for ESA, is science communication and citizen-science, necessitated by the progressive erosion in public trust in scientists on many issues relevant to entomology.

One of the strategic principles of ESA is that, to realize our profession's full potential, ESA must increase its influence at home and abroad. Toward that end, on the heels of convening a Summit of the Americas on *Aedes aegypti* in March 2016 with the Sociedade Entomológica do Brasil in Maceió, Brazil, and a symposium on Integrated Tick Management in Washington, D.C., with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in May 2016, ESA is using its convening power to hold a summit of leaders of the global entomological community to develop a grand challenge agenda for developing solutions to societal problems relating to insects at ICE25.

Going global—pulling together what will likely go down as the largest meeting in the history of the science—has been a herculean task and we were all fortunate that two herculean heroes, Walter Leal of University of California-Davis and Alvin Simmons of USDA-Agricultural Research Service, South Carolina, stepped forward to take on the task. Just as the mythological Hercules had a little help from a couple of deities to tackle his 12 Labors, Walter and Alvin were ably assisted by the ESA Annual Meeting Co-Chairs, Jesus Esquivel (USDA-Agricultural Research Service, Texas) and

Catherine Loudon (University of California-Irvine); Alvin also served as ESA Annual Meeting Co-Chair along with the many other members of the Program Committee. This group handled the complexity with efficiency, persistence, and good cheer, putting Hercules, with his measly 12 Labors, to shame.

And WHAT A PROGRAM! There's a spectacular lineup of plenary speakers, including members of the National Academy of Sciences and the Royal Society, as well as two Nobel Laureates—Peter Agre of Johns Hopkins University and Jules Hoffmann of University of Strasbourg. And, for the first time since 1928, Cuba will be represented in a U.S.-based ICE: Juan Andres Bisset Lazano will speak on *Aedes aegypti* management for dengue control. There are 298 symposia (approximately triple the number in 1976) and close to 1,000 posters (up almost an order of magnitude since 1976, when poster sessions were described in the program as "a recently developed means of handling a large number of contributed papers"). One statistic of which ESA can be particularly proud is the dramatic increase in student participation: With more than 500 Student Competition 15-Minute Papers and more than 250 Student Competition Posters, students are involved in unprecedented numbers, consistent with ESA's strategic principle to provide opportunities for professional development for all of its members, at all stages of their careers. New for ICE 2016 are virtual posters, posted online and available during the meeting, as well as remote presentations via Skype or prerecorded video, making use of technology that didn't exist in 1976. Also, ICE25 will host the first International Linnaean Games, the first International Student Debate, and an Insect Expo planning on over 6,000 school-age visitors.

Beyond those involved in the planning effort, thanks are due to the hundreds of volunteers who will be there at the Congress to make sure everything planned actually happens. And deserving of special thanks are the incredibly hard-working and endlessly capable staff members that we as a Society are extraordinarily fortunate to have in our corner. They include David Gammel, Executive Director; his assistant Nikki Olin; Director of Strategic Initiatives Chris Stelzig; Director of Meetings Rosina Romano; Program and Meetings Manager Becky Anthony; Manager of Meetings and Exhibits Cindy Myers; Director of Membership and Marketing Debi Sutton; Certification and Office Administrator Matthew Chism; Director of Finance Neil Willoughby; Staff Accountant Alexis Lyons; Data Manager Katherine Matthews; Director of Publications Lisa Junker; Manager of Publications Josh Lancette; Communications Program Manager Richard Levine; and Marketing and Web Manager Laura Sparks.

My term as ESA President has been a wild ride—so Orlando as a venue seems especially appropriate. There are all manner of wild rides for visitors to Orlando, which ranks as a top U.S. tourism destination. It's a paradise for visitors, with amusement parks, water parks, botanical gardens, zoos, aquaria, and, of course, Disney World (not to mention Universal Studios' newest attraction, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter). And, fortunately for us, September is generally regarded as one of the best times to visit Orlando. Not only is the weather generally pleasant, with daily temperatures ranging between 72°F (23°C) and 91°F (33°C), it's also among the least crowded months to visit the theme parks. We want you to enjoy the venue and have left Wednesday afternoon lightly scheduled so that those so inclined can check out the local attractions (offering discounts for some, too). Beyond Disney World, there's the natural world to enjoy. Florida is a biodiversity hub for America—Orange County alone is home to more than 100 species of butterflies and skippers—and the optional tours and post-Congress programs provide opportunities to experience the diversity first-hand, with choices including an airboat tour of swamps and marshes in a nearby wildlife park in Central Florida's Everglades, a trip to Cocoa Beach on a barrier island along Florida's Central East Coast, an overnight excursion to the famed Archbold Biological Station in the midst of Florida scrub, and a visit to the McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity, housing most of the world's 20,000 butterfly species.

Orlando occupies an important place in entomological history—it's where the insect repellent DEET, or diethyltoluamide, was developed at the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine in 1952, and it's the type locality for many insects, including one thrips and at least two parasitoid hymenopterans. ICE25 is yet another opportunity to make entomological history in Orlando—I look forward to seeing you there!

# Don't just say you're a Professional.
Prove it.

<figure><img src="image_48.png" /></figure>

The ACE program makes professional entomology-based certification possible for those without a formal degree in entomology. If you have extensive experience and knowledge in entomology through on-the-job training, experience, and self-study, you may qualify to become an ACE.

## ACE International

And, just like the ICE 2016 theme suggests, *Entomology is without Borders*. That's why we are proud to offer our ACE certification program to an international audience, giving pest management professionals across the globe access to the same professional credentialing that U.S.-based PMPs have enjoyed since 2004.

## Want to ACE the exam?

### ACE Maker

<figure><img src="image_50.png" /></figure>

Designed as a study guide for those pursuing their ACE certification, *IPM for the Urban Professional* also serves as a comprehensive introduction to the concepts of integrated pest management (IPM); basic classification, identification points, and pest biology; an outline of pesticide concepts; and an overview of important safety and regulatory issues. The book fills a gap in the structural pest control book market: It is far more comprehensive than an introductory overview, but does not get bogged down in the details on specific management techniques for every structural pest.

Conference participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference, at the discretion of ESA leadership.

Harassment of ICE 2016 participants will not be tolerated in any form.

## Tours (Daily Tours)

All tours required advance registration. To inquire about tickets on-site visit the registration and information center.

### AIRBOAT AND WILDLIFE PARK

Wednesday, September 28 and Friday, September 30
8:00 AM – 1:30 PM

Fee: $153 USD per person (lunch included)

Location: Meet at the ICE Registration and Information Center

Enjoy a closer look at alligators and exotic wild life as your guests glide on an exclusive airboat ride through 4,200 acres (1700 hectares) of untouched nature preserve. The swamp is free of any development and is 100% pure Florida wilderness. After your rides, guests will have their picture taken while holding a baby alligator. A portion of the funds generated from photos then supports the Florida Panther Society for continuing the preservation of Florida's nature and wildlife.

The Wildlife Park gives guests the opportunity to watch, touch, and even feed some of Florida's native land-dwelling animals, as well as various species of tropical birds. Get up-close to gators from the viewing dock in the gator pond! The Wildlife Park is also home to several beautiful exotic species including zebras, watusi, water buffalo, emus, and zebus.

A day in this park offers an amazing array of wildlife including bald eagles, deer, cows, boars, turkeys, alligators, and more!

### BACKSTAGE SAFARI AT DISNEY'S ANIMAL KINGDOM

Wednesday, September 28 • 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM

Fee: $156 USD per person (does not include park admission nor is it required)

Location: Meet at the ICE Registration and Information Center

Due to its behind-the-scenes nature, participants must be 16 years of age or older.

Take a journey to find out what happens behind-the-scenes at Walt Disney World's Animal Kingdom! During this in-depth program, your guests get an insider's look at conservation, animal nutrition and medicine, animal care, and behavioral studies. Highlights include visits to a backstage animal housing area, the Animal Nutrition Center, the Veterinary Hospital, and a special ride on Kilimanjaro Safaris. The majority of this program takes place behind-the-scenes— there may be no opportunity to view animals. Please note: No photos will be allowed in behind-the-scenes area.

**Kilimanjaro Safari:** Climb aboard the open-air safari vehicle for an incredible journey through more than 100 acres (40 hectares) of African savannah, forest, rivers, and rocky hills where hundreds of animals roam free. Unlike any experience this side of the equator, the Kilimanjaro Safari introduces your guests to the splendor and magnificence of creatures both large and small. An unexpected twist takes guests on an adventurous trip in pursuit of a band of poachers while messages of conservation are echoed throughout the expedition.

This tour takes place partly outdoors and includes moderate walking and stair climbing; we recommend participants wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather.

## INSECT COLLECTING AT THE DISNEY WILDERNESS PRESERVE

Wednesday, September 28 • 12:00 PM – 6:00 PM

Fee: $45 USD per person

Location: Meet at the ICE Registration and Information Center

At the Disney Wilderness Preserve, nature offers you a front-row seat to conservation at its best. Home to more than 1,000 species of plants and animals, the Disney Wilderness Preserve is an essential part of the Everglades ecosystem and contains 3,500 acres (1,416 hectares) of restored wetlands that act as nature's "sponges" in the landscape capturing rain, filtering out nutrients, and replenishing our ground water.

The core of the Disney Wilderness Preserve is comprised of what was once an 8,500-acre (3,440 hectares) cattle ranch situated at the head of the Greater Everglades watershed. In the early 1990s, the ranch was slated for extensive residential and commercial development, which would have spelled the end for the property's degraded—but restorable—wetlands, as well as the destruction of significant habitat for endangered plants and wildlife.

This tour lets the entomologists do what they do best: insect collecting. The participants will have opportunities to collect insects from interesting Florida habitats within the Disney Wilderness Preserve as well as take part in a swamp buggy tour of the preserve. Nets will be provided for those who need them. We recommend participants wear comfortable shoes, dress for the weather, and bring plenty of water.

## ● LECTURE HONORING DR. EDWARD F. KNIPLING

<figure><img src="image_80.png" /></figure>

Dr. Anthony A. James, a distinguished professor at the University of California, Irvine, USA, has been selected to deliver the Founders' Memorial Award lecture at the 2016 International Congress of Entomology (ICE 2016) during the ESA Opening Session on Sunday, September 25.

<figure><img src="image_81.png" /></figure>

The subject of Dr. James' lecture will be

Dr. Edward F. Knipling, winner of the World Food Prize (1992), the Japan Prize (1995), the FAO Medal for Agricultural Science (1991), the President's National Medal of Science (1967), and many other awards. Dr. Knipling is internationally recognized

for the development of the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT), which has been widely applied for eradication of exotic insect species. SIT was instrumental in the eradication of the screwworm, a serious pest of

cattle and other livestock, and is used today to control insect pests such as the Mediterranean fruit fly.

Dr. James takes a similar approach for insect control, but instead of using SIT, he relies on more modern methods. He is the international leader among those using molecular genetic approaches to control the transmission of vector-borne diseases. His work has resulted in the creation of strains of mosquitoes that are incapable of transmitting two of the most devastating human diseases, malaria and dengue fever.

Dr. James is now preparing to apply this translational research to disease-affected areas in developing countries. His goals are to suppress vector populations and therefore reduce encounters between humans and mosquitoes, and to make mosquitoes incapable of transmitting pathogens.

"If Edward Knipling was alive today and was asked who would be the best researcher to tell his story, I'm convinced that he would pick Tony James," said Fred Gould, University Distinguished Professor at North Carolina State University. "Tony will do a great job of telling Knipling's story and of showing ESA members how the field of genetic pest management has matured from the early days into the start of the 21st century."

"Dr. Knipling's contribution to our discipline by developing the Sterile Insect Technique is truly outstanding and deserves to be honored in this way," said Dr. David Denlinger, Distinguished University Professor at Ohio State University. "I would rank the development of this technique as one of the major accomplishments in the field of entomology in the past century, and Dr. James' ground-breaking experiments in developing transgenic mosquitoes is indeed the next generation or iteration of Knipling's Sterile Insect Technique."

"The selection of Dr. James to honor Dr. Knipling is especially fitting for the theme of the 2016 International Congress of Entomology—'Entomology Without Borders'—in two ways," said Dr. Bruce Tabashnik, Regents' Professor and Head of the University of Arizona's Department of Entomology. "First, although Dr. James works in the U.S., his work aims to control mosquitoes far beyond U.S. borders, especially in Africa. Second, as the son of an African-American father and an Irish-American mother, his own origins transcend racial and national boundaries."

### Keynote Presentation Featuring Dr. Peter Agre

#### Opening doors worldwide through medical science

Introduction by Marcelo Jacobs-Lorena, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health

<figure><img src="image_82.png" /></figure>

**Dr. Peter Agre** is the Bloomberg Distinguished Professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and Bloomberg School of Public Health.

Dr. Agre shared the 2003 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for discovering aquaporins, a family of water-channel proteins found throughout nature that underlie numerous physiological processes and clinical disorders. He is deeply involved in multiple global issues, and is the current director of the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute, which conducts research in Zambia and Zimbabwe.

From 2005-2008, he chaired the Committee on Human Rights of the National Academy of Sciences and led efforts on behalf of imprisoned scientists, engineers, and health professionals worldwide. He has also participated in diplomatic visits and meetings with leaders of Cuba, North Korea, Myanmar, and Iran.

A past president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), Dr. Agre is an ambassador for science. He has given numerous lectures and presentations, and has even appeared on the TV program The Colbert Report.

**Wednesday, September 28, 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM**
Valencia Room, Convention Center

### Keynote Presentation Featuring Dr. Jules Hoffmann

#### Innate immunity: From insects to humans

Introduction by Elena Levashina, Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology

<figure><img src="image_83.png" /></figure>

**Dr. Jules Hoffmann** is a professor of integrative biology at the Strasbourg University Institute for Advanced Study. He is also emeritus research director of the French National Research Center, and he served as vice president and president of the French National Academy of Sciences from 2006 to 2010.

Dr. Hoffmann was awarded the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for "discoveries concerning the activation of innate immunity." He and his colleagues used insects, namely the fruit fly

*Drosophila*, to decipher the potent antimicrobial defenses. Over many years, these studies have led to a general understanding of recognition of infection by flies, the connections between recognition and signaling, and the subsequent control of expression of immune responsive genes, namely of those encoding antimicrobial peptides that oppose the invading microorganisms.

His interest in insects began at an early age and was inspired by his father, a high school biology teacher in Luxembourg who worked on the systematics of various insect groups during his spare time.

"Most of my father's studies focused on Odonata, Ephemeroptera, Orthoptera, Dermaptera, and Hemiptera, and he was particularly interested in the development and behavior of mayflies," Dr. Hoffmann said. "Under his guidance, and with his strong involvement, I published my first paper on the aquatic Heteroptera of Luxembourg."

After high school in Luxembourg, he attended the University of Strasbourg and worked on his Ph.D. with Professor Pierre Joly, a neuroendocrinologist, on the antimicrobial defenses of migratory locusts.

Dr. Hoffmann, who uses insects as model organisms to study the immune system, will talk about "Innate immunity: From insects to humans" and illustrate how basic research on insects can lead to broader discoveries relevant to human health.

## Daily Plenaries

The following international scientists have been selected to deliver Plenary Lectures at the 2016 International Congress of Entomology.

**Monday, September 26, 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM**
Valencia Room, Convention Center

### Plenary Presentation Featuring Dr. James R. Carey

#### Insect biodemography: A 21st century guided tour

Introduction by Frank Zalom, University of California

<figure><img src="image_84.png" /></figure>

**Dr. James R. Carey**, distinguished professor of entomology at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis), is the world's foremost authority on arthropod demography. He has authored more than 250 scientific articles, including landmark papers in science that shaped the way scientists think about

lifespan limits and actuarial aging, and two articles in the Annual Review series that provide new syntheses on insect biodemography (2003, *Annual Review of Entomology*) and aging in the wild (2014, *Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics*). He directed a $10 million, multi-university grant for more than a decade (2003-2013).
