The Maunakea Invasive Species Management Plan documents the objectives, policies and
procedures of the Office of Mauna Kea Management for the prevention, detection and management
of invasive plant and animal species on lands managed by the University of Hawai‘i on Maunakea.
The development and implementation of this plan supports the Office of Mauna Kea Management
mission to achieve harmony, balance, and trust in the sustainable management and stewardship of
UH managed lands (Mauna Kea Science Reserve and Halepōhaku) through community involvement
and programs that protect, preserve, and enhance the natural, cultural, and recreational resources
of Maunakea while providing a world class center dedicated to education, research and
astronomy.

Wasmannia auropunctata, known as the Little Fire Ant (LFA), was first detected on the island of Hawai‘i (the Big Island) in 1999. It was most probably introduced through imports of contaminated potted plants from mainland USA. We estimate that LFA has now spread to over 4,000 locations on the Big Island and under current management efforts will spread rapidly inundating the Big Island in 15-20 years. Increased efforts in prevention, detections, and mitigation treatments will suppress existing infestations, reduce rate of spread and decrease long term management costs, damages, and human stings. Benefits from increased management are estimated to be $5 billion savings including $540 million in reduced damages and 2.1 billion fewer sting incidents over 35 years.

This species was originally introduced as a biological control against nut-fall bugs (Amblypelta sp.) around 30 years ago and in the intervening time has spread throughout the Solomon Islands, aided movement of produce and planting material. It is now itself a major pest of coconut, cocoa and subsistence agriculture. In this study, we show the negative effects of this invasive ant on subsistence agriculture in the Solomon Islands. We do this by (i) assessing the presence of insect pests that develop a mutual relationship with W. auropunctata on four common subsistence crops; and (ii) measuring the impact of a significant pest (Tarophagus sp.) and its natural predator the bug Cyrtohinus fulvus, in the presence and absence of W. auropunctata on taro crops. The existence of insect pests that form a mutual relationship with W. auropunctata was measured in a total of 36 gardens of the four subsistence crops. This was conducted through standardized visual searches, plus identification and collecting from randomly selected plants within the gardens. A number of additional insect pests causing major problems to subsistence crops have also developed mutual relationships with W. auropunctata. Infested taro gardens have more Tarophagus sp. compared with taro plants that are free of the little fire ant. The presence and abundance of Wasmannia therefore has the potential to inflict considerable crop loss in rural subsistence gardens in the Solomon Islands.1 aFasi, J1 aBrodie, G1 aVanderwoude, C uhttps://antkey.myspecies.info/zh-hans/node/32843
