Abstract

The Asian vinegar fly Drosophila suzukii (spotted wing Drosophila [SWD]) has emerged as a major invasive insect pest of small and stone fruits in both the Americas and Europe since the late 2000s. While research efforts have rapidly progressed in Asia, North America, and Europe over the past 5 years, important new insights may be gained in comparing and contrasting findings across the regions affected by SWD. In this review, we explore common themes in the invasion biology of SWD by examining (1) its biology and current pest status in endemic and recently invaded regions; (2) current efforts and future research needs for the development of predictive models for its geographic expansion; and (3) prospects for both natural and classical (=importation) biological control of SWD in invaded habitats, with emphasis on the role of hymenopteran parasitoids. We conclude that particularly fruitful areas of research should include fundamental studies of its overwintering, host-use, and dispersal capabilities; as well as applied studies of alternative, cost-effective management techniques to complement insecticide use within the integrated pest management framework. Finally, we emphasize that outreach efforts are critical to effective SWD management by highlighting successful strategies and insights gained from various geographic regions.

The development of the PBDM for SWD was funded by the Center for the Analysis of Agricultural Systems, Kensington CA (casasglobal.org). The authors would like to thank all the colleagues and students of the Corvinus University of Budapest who participated in the data collection on SWD distributions in the Carpathian Basin, and A. Blanton, University of Minnesota for SWD confirmations. Special thanks are due to Beáta Mavračić and Ákos Varga, for setting SWD traps in Serbia, and for Attila Haltrich for setting SWD traps at Rimavská Sobota, Slovakia. The authors thank the many colleagues and research technicians who have contributed their time and expertise to understanding the spread, impact, and management of SWD.
