Bird predation on Roseau cane scale as revealed by a web image search and querying a citizen monitoring database

Suzuki Noriyuki et al.

Summary: The invasion of Roseau cane scale, native to East Asia, is causing dieback of common reed stands in the Mississippi River Delta, Louisiana. Previous research suggested that Common Reed Buntings and parasitoid wasps play a role in controlling the abundance of Roseau cane scale in its native range. However, little is known about other bird species that may prey on Roseau cane scale or their feeding patterns. This study used web search and citizen science data to identify bird predators and their feeding patterns in Japan.

Exploratory surveys in Taiwan of the roseau cane scale Nipponaclerda biwakoensis Kuwana (Hemiptera: Aclerdidae) and its associated parasitoids

Amado O. Cortez Jr et al.

Summary: This study investigated the population dynamics of the invasive scale Nipponaclerda biwakoensis and its associated parasitoids on Phragmites australis in Taiwan. The study found that the scale densities were lower than those in Louisiana, and different wasp species showed varying parasitism rates and behaviors towards the scales. The information obtained from this study will aid in developing a biological control program to manage the invasive N. biwakoensis.

An invasive population of Roseau Cane Scale in the Mississippi River Delta, USA originated from northeastern China

Scott A. Schneider et al.

Summary: The damage caused by non-native roseau cane scales has led to the decline of Phragmites australis stands in the Mississippi River Delta. Identifying the origin of the invasive population and finding potential biological control agents through genetic and environmental data is crucial. This research also discovered two cryptic species of scale insects on Phragmites, providing new insights into population structure.
