Populations from Costa Rica, Colombia, Uganda and Madeira were also included for comparison. One hundred and fifteen reproducible bands from eight primers were obtained. The level of polymorphism in the populations from the Canary Islands (40-62\%) was in the range of those found in other populations. Nei{\textquoteright}s genetic distances, pair-wise fixation index (FST) values indicate that the closest populations are Tenerife populations among themselves (Nei{\textquoteright}s genetic distance=0.054-0.100; FST=0.091-0.157) and Costa Rica and Colombia populations (Nei{\textquoteright}s genetic distance=0.049; FST=0.113). Our results indicate the existence of BW local biotypes with limited gene flow and affected by genetic drift. These results are compatible with a unique event of colonization at Tenerife; whereas, the outbreaks in La Gomera and La Palma may come from independent introductions. The Madeira population is phylogenetically and geographically closer to the Canary Islands populations, suggesting that it is the most likely source of the insects introduced in the Canary Islands.},

	abstract = {The banana weevil (BW), Cosmopolites sordidus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is one of the most important insect pests of bananas and plantains. The mobility and the origin of BW infestations at the Canary Islands (Tenerife, La Gomera and La Palma) have been analysed using Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) as molecular markers. Populations from Costa Rica, Colombia, Uganda and Madeira were also included for comparison. One hundred and fifteen reproducible bands from eight primers were obtained. The level of polymorphism in the populations from the Canary Islands (40-62\%) was in the range of those found in other populations. Nei{\textquoteright}s genetic distances, pair-wise fixation index (FST) values indicate that the closest populations are Tenerife populations among themselves (Nei{\textquoteright}s genetic distance=0.054-0.100; FST=0.091-0.157) and Costa Rica and Colombia populations (Nei{\textquoteright}s genetic distance=0.049; FST=0.113). Our results indicate the existence of BW local biotypes with limited gene flow and affected by genetic drift. These results are compatible with a unique event of colonization at Tenerife; whereas, the outbreaks in La Gomera and La Palma may come from independent introductions. The Madeira population is phylogenetically and geographically closer to the Canary Islands populations, suggesting that it is the most likely source of the insects introduced in the Canary Islands.},

	abstract = {The general potential of plant cystatins for the development of insect-resistant transgenic plants still remains to be established given the natural ability of several insects to compensate for the loss of digestive cysteine protease activities. Here we assessed the potential of cystatins for the development of banana lines resistant to the banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus, a major pest of banana and plantain in Africa. Protease inhibitory assays were conducted with protein and methylcoumarin (MCA) peptide substrates to measure the inhibitory efficiency of different cystatins in vitro, followed by a diet assay with cystatin-infiltrated banana stem disks to monitor the impact of two plant cystatins, oryzacystatin I (OC-I, or OsCYS1) and papaya cystatin (CpCYS1), on the overall growth rate of weevil larvae. As observed earlier for other Coleoptera, banana weevils produce a variety of proteases for dietary protein digestion, including in particular Z-Phe-Arg-MCA-hydrolyzing (cathepsin L[long dash]like) and Z-Arg-Arg-MCA-hydrolyzing (cathepsin B[long dash]like) proteases active in mildly acidic conditions. Both enzyme populations were sensitive to the cysteine protease inhibitor E-64 and to different plant cystatins including OsCYS1. In line with the broad inhibitory effects of cystatins, OsCYS1 and CpCYS1 caused an important growth delay in young larvae developing for 10 days in cystatin-infiltrated banana stem disks. These promising results, which illustrate the susceptibility of C. sordidus to plant cystatins, are discussed in the light of recent hypotheses suggesting a key role for cathepsin B[long dash]like enzymes as a determinant for resistance or susceptibility to plant cystatins in Coleoptera.},

	abstract = {The banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus Germar, is an important pest of highland banana and plantain in Africa, but it exists in low densities in presumed area of origin in Southeast Asia such as in Indonesia. This suggests a possible existence of effective co-evolved natural enemies in the origin area of Indonesia, especially West Sumatra. The objectives of this study were: (1) to evaluate banana weevil pest status at selected sites in West Sumatra, (2) to survey parasitoids and predators, and (3) to determine the control potential of the most important natural enemies. Surveys were undertaken in March 2002-August 2003 in five locations in West Sumatra, i.e., Bukittinggi, Sitiung, Pariaman, Pasaman, and Batusangkar. Five farms per site were selected randomly among all farms that contained banana stands of > 0.5 ha. Sampling for banana weevil adults and damage, and for predators was done throughout small banana stands and within a 20 m x 40 m (0.08 ha) subplot on larger farms. Field-collected larvae were taken to the laboratory and reared on corm pieces (3 cm x 3 cm x 3 cm) until pupation. Larvae were collected from pseudostem as well as corm residues. To estimate the abundance of non-social predators, i.e., those other than ants, 10 residues each on each farm were examined from plants that had been harvested 1-4 weeks, 5-8 weeks or 9 or more weeks before our visit to the site. Samples of the different morphospecies were saved in alcohol for later identification. The result showed that the banana weevil incidence was found to be low, 0.6-1.7 adults per trap. Plant damage indices were below 2.2\%. We collected and reared 24,360 eggs and 3118 larvae, but no parasitism was detected. Phorids (Megaselia sp.) and drosophilids were recovered from larval rearings, but most likely were scavengers. A complex of predators was detected, the most important of which was the histerid beetles, Plaesius javanus Erichson. In laboratory tests, adults and larvae of P. javanus attacked 75-88\% and 38-53\% of banana weevil larvae and pupae, respectively. Predatory ants, including species of Myrmicinae, Ponerinae, Formicinae, and Dolichoderinae, were found to be associated with banana plants and residues. Adults of Myopopone castanea Smith (Ponerinae) were directly observed attacking banana weevil larvae in crop residues. The adult banana weevil mortalities caused by the entomopathogen fungi of Beauveria bassiana from Baso, Sungaitarab, Sei Sariek, and Sikabau at highest density (3.2 x 108 spores ml-1) after two weeks were 96.67\%, 90.00\%, 60.00\% and 83.33\%, respectively. The high diversity of habitat conditions in which crop-pest-natural enemies systems exist, support the idea that banana weevil population and damage intensity in the study area is low due to active role of natural enemies.},

As cover crops are increasingly used in agroecosystems, the effects of this resource on generalist predator diet need to be evaluated. We studied the effect of adding a cover crop, Brachiaria decumbens, on trophic niches of generalist predators in a banana agroecosystem by analysing stable isotope variation in C and N for Cosmopolites sordidus, a major banana pest, and its potential predators (spiders, ants, centipedes, and earwigs). While addition of the new resource did not change the trophic niche of the banana pest C. sordidus, the trophic position of the generalist predators was changed as indicated by [delta]13C signature. Cover crop provided resources that are likely to support a community of insect herbivores, which are alternative preys for generalist predators. The failure of the cover crop to increase [delta]15N signature is inconsistent with the hypothesis that the cover crop would increase intraguild predation. By providing alternative preys, the addition of a new resource in agroecosystems has the potential to increase populations of generalist predators and therefore pest control.},

The three mitotic karyotypes of the Dryophthoridae species differ in their chromosome number and morphology while those of the four Curculionidae species are fairly similar and can be distinguished by heterochromatin variations or NOR location only. Diakineses/Metaphases I of all species exhibit a parachute sex bivalent and the same range of autosomal bivalent compaction. At contrast, at the pachytene stage, bivalents appear less compact in Curculionidae than in Dryophthoridae species, and this difference is particularly clear for the sex bivalent: at early-mid pachytene stage, chromosomes X and Y are elongated and in end-to-end association in Curculionidae while they form a rounded dense body in Dryophthoridae species. In both conditions, the sex chromosomes are embedded in argyrophilic proteins. The different compactions of the sex chromosomes do not depend on NOR location, either on the X or autosome(s). Thus, bivalent compaction kinetic and/or structure at pachynema may be a taxonomic character, which would give arguments for the split of Curculionidae into two families.},

	abstract = {The banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar), is an important pest of bananas. Predatory ants are increasingly being viewed as possible biological control agents of this pest because they are capable of entering banana plants and soil in search of prey. We studied ant predation on banana weevil in Uganda in crop residues and live plants in both laboratory and field experiments. Field studies with live plants used chemical ant exclusion in some plots and ant enhancement via colony transfer in others to measure effects of Pheidole sp. 2 and Odontomachus troglodytes Santschi on plant damage and densities of immature banana weevils. In crop residues, an important pest breeding site, twice as many larvae were removed from ant-enhanced plots as in control plots. In young (2 month) potted suckers held in shade houses, ant ability to reduce densities of banana weevil life stages varied with the weevil inoculation rate. At the lowest density (2 female weevils per pot), densities of eggs, larvae, and pupae were reduced by ants. At higher rates there was no effect. In older suckers (5[long dash]11 months) grown in larger containers, banana weevil densities were not affected by ants, but damage levels were reduced. In a field trial lasting a full crop cycle (30 months), we found that the ants tested reduced the density of banana weevil eggs in suckers during the crop, but did not affect larval densities in the sampled suckers. However, most larvae occur in the main banana plants, rather than associated suckers. Nevertheless, levels of damage in mature plants at harvest did not differ between Amdro-treated and ant-enhanced plots, suggesting the ant species studied were not able to provide economic control of banana weevil under our test conditions.},

This survey was done to identify potentially important predators of the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar). Work was repeated in both one wet and one dry season at all locations. We sampled at 39 farms in four regions and found 55 species of ants in pitfall traps and 24 species in fish and honey baits. When banana weevil larvae were exposed as baits, I I ant species were attracted, of which Pheidole sp. 1, Pheidole sp. 2, Pheidole sp. 3, Parture-china sp. 1, and Lepisiota sp. 1 were the most abundant. Seventeen ant species were found in pseudostems and 34 in corms of live banana plants and residues of harvested plants. High species richness and abundance especially inside plants and residues, suggest that ants are important foragers in banana plantations. Seven of the ant species found in plants demonstrated significant ability to remove banana weevil eggs artificially inserted in corms. Two species, Odontomachus troglodytes Santschi and Pheidole sp. 2, were able to remove eggs from naturally infested corms. O. troglodytes removed 33-68\% of the eggs in naturally infested corms, while Pheidole sp. 2 removed 38-60\%, of such eggs. The attraction of O. troglodytes and Pheidole sp. 2 to banana weevil-infested plant pieces, their close association with banana plants and residues, and their ability to extract artificially and naturally introduced banana weevil eggs from plant tissue suggest that these two species may have significant potential to consume weevil immature stages in plants and residues.
