Mechanisms of inter- and intra-specific competitive replacement by the Bemisia tabaci B biotype (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae)

doi:10.3724/SP.J.1003.2008.07398

Abstract

Abstract:

The B biotype of Bemisia tabaci, sometimes called a “super bug”, has been one of this species complex’s most harmful biotypes because of the tremendous damage it inflicts worldwide. Recently, competitive displacement of pre-existent biotypes and other herbivores by the B. tabaci B biotype has been observed in many regions worldwide. Based on literature review, the mechanisms responsible for competitive replacement by B. tabaci may include exploitation or interference competition, which involve niche competition, differential abilities in resource acquisition, asymmetric mating interactions, heat shock adaptation, pesticide susceptibility, and interactions between B. tabaci B biotype, host plants, and viruses. Moreover, the B biotype likely has unique endosymbionts, which may be important in enhancing its competitive ability. We also discuss related mechanisms involved with serious damage caused by the B. tabaci Q biotype.

Key words: Bemisia tabaci, biotype, invasive alien species, inter- and intra-specific competition, competitive mechanism
