Identifying the Endangered Area: Risk Mapping for Pest Risk Analysis Richard Baker Central Science Laboratory, York, United Kingdom Presented at the International Plant Health Risk Analysis Workshop, October 24-28, 2005, Niagara Falls, Canada N.B. Many slides have been deleted to restrict the file to 2mb Outline Predicting establishment potential and mapping endangered areas Complex assessments With limited resources and little information Straightforward assessments Species at the edge of their range Western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera) in the UK Colorado beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata) in the UK Species with complex life cycles Karnal bunt (Tilletia indica) in Europe Sudden oak death (Phytophthora ramorum) in Europe Some key challenges The spatial and temporal resolution of datasets Climate change Mapping economic loss Factors determining the Probability of Establishment Ecological Factors Suitability of the abiotic environment, e.g. climate Presence of suitable hosts, alternate hosts and vectors Availability of effective natural or artificial control mechanisms Cultural practices Intrinsic Factors Life cycle Reproductive strategy Genetic adaptability Minimum population needed for establishment Factors determining the Probability of Establishment Ecological Factors Suitability of the abiotic environment, e.g. climate Presence of suitable hosts, alternate hosts and vectors Availability of effective natural or artificial control mechanisms Cultural practices Intrinsic Factors Life cycle Reproductive strategy Genetic adaptability Minimum population needed for establishment Predicting establishment with little information and few resources Assume you always know or can infer: Pest name Pest presence/absence in the PRA area Host plant Pest origin Assume you have access to a computer and therefore the: CABI Crop Protection Compendium Internet and search engines such as Google Sudan bollworm Diparopsis watersi Sudan bollworm - Geographical Distribution CABI. 2005.

Geographic Data in a Geographical Information System (GIS) Stored in layers Data layers can be manipulated, analysed and displayed in many ways ArcView Geographical Information System (GIS) Provides basic and advanced functions Used widely throughout government and the industry Powerful modular GIS (ArcGIS) Extensions for spatial & geostatistical analysis, 3D modelling Many contributed scripts Can be programmed in Visual Basic CLIMEX: a model for predicting distribution based on climate Climate Matching Estimates distribution from known climatic responses and geographical distribution Growth Index - the overall potential for population growth Stress Indices - the probability of survival through unfavourable seasons Ecoclimatic Index - the overall suitability of a location for establishment http://www.ento.csiro.au/climex/climex.html Diabrotica virgifera virgifera Western Corn Rootworm Serious maize pest in northern USA and Canada In central Europe since 1992, August 2002 arrived near Paris Since first introduced into Europe, UK area of maize has risen markedly (now >100,000 ha/year) Diabrotica virgifera virgifera in the UK: Predicting Establishment & Mapping the Endangered Area Apply CLIMEX at low temporal & spatial resolution Enhance spatial and temporal resolution Calculate accumulated temperatures above and below ground Look at effects of climate change CLIMEX parameters for growth and environmental stress are estimated from Diabrotica virgifera virgifera’s current distribution (above right) and used to generate ecoclimatic indices and a map of expected distribution in the USA (above left) Diabrotica virgifera virgifera distribution in Europe predicted by CLIMEX with 1931-1960 mean climatic data from 285 weather stations Diabrotica virgifera virgifera distribution in Europe predicted by CLIMEX with 1961-1990 mean climatic data interpolated to a 0.5° latitude/longitude grid (Climatic Research Unit, Norwich) 5 km2 cells with accumulated temperature > 670 = 34 http://www.metoffice.com/research/hadleycentre/obsdata/ukcip/ 5 km2 cells with accumulated temperature > 670 = 4852 http://www.metoffice.com/research/hadleycentre/obsdata/ukcip/ http://www.defra.gov.uk/esg/work_htm/publications/cs/farmstats_web/default.htm 5 km2 cells with accumulated temperature > 670 = 2333 Effect of Climate Change on the Area suitable for Diabrotica virgifera virgifera establishment 1995: 5 km2 cells with accumulated temperature > 670 = 4852 UKCIP02: 5 km2 cells with accumulated temperature > 670 = 5137 http://www.metoffice.com/research/hadleycentre/obsdata/ukcip/ Maize area in England (‘000 ha) 1980-2004 120 '000 ha 100 80 60 40 20 0 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 2005 Year http://www.defra.gov.uk/esg/work_htm/publications/cs/farmstats_web/default.htm 2010 Conclusions Risk mapping provides a powerful tool for directly analysing and displaying endangered areas Risk mapping does not have to be complex Detailed risk mapping is particularly useful when: Species Future are at the edge of their range impacts need to be assessed Species have complex life cycles Risk Mapping: Key Issues to Address Increasing the availability and accuracy of international datasets to enable risks maps to be generated for large areas, e.g. the European Union Enhancing the spatial and temporal resolution of datasets ensuring they are compatible and relevant to the species concerned Defining the climate baseline to represent accurately the current climate in the PRA area and predict the effects of climate change Incorporating models of pest spread, population dynamics and impacts into risk maps, displaying the dynamic, stochastic nature of pest invasions Including economic, environmental and social impacts in maps of endangered areas Representing uncertainty in risk maps Using endangered area risk maps in surveillance, contingency planning and action in emergencies.
