Insectos plaga de las plantaciones forestales
(Ministerio de Agroindustria, Presidencia de la Nación, 2018)Una manera efectiva de abordar la sanidad de los cultivos forestales es mediante la implementación de una estrategia de Manejo Integrado de Plagas (MIP). Esta estrategia combina acciones de vigilancia y monitoreo, prevención ... -
Landscape configuration modulates the presence of leaf-cutting ants in eucalypt plantations
(Springer Nature, 2023-08)Pest responses to landscape complexity show variable patterns globally, primarily related to species traits and specific managed habitats. Leaf-cutting ants (LCAs) are native insects and important pests of plantation forests ... -
Long-term monitoring of thinning for silvopastoral purposes in Nothofagus antarctica forests of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria, España, 2018)Aim of the study: To analyse the effectiveness of thinning on tree growth, forest structure and microclimatic variables along seven years after cuttings in a secondary Nothofagus antarctica forest in Southern Patagonia. Area ... -
“Mal del ciprés”: búsqueda de la causa más probable de daño mediante un análisis deductivo y comparativo = “Cypress Mortality”: search the more probably damage cause by means of deductive and comparative analysis
(Facultad de Ciencias Forestales y Recursos Naturales, Universidad Austral de Chile, 2007)The “cypress mortality” (“mal del ciprés”) is a disease of unknown causes, which affects cordillera cypress (Austrocedrus chilensis) in Argentina. In this work a basic guide to diagnosing plant diseases and to compare the ... -
Management of Sirex noctilio populations in exotic pine plantations: critical issues explaining invasion success and damage levels in South America
(Springer Nature, 2018-11)Plantation forestry with non-native trees is steadily increasing in the southern hemisphere and alien pest problems are also accumulating, as a consequence of the growing international movement of people and goods. Here, ... -
Modelling the distribution of forest pest natural enemies across invaded areas: Towards understanding the influence of climate on parasitoid establishment success
(Elsevier, 2019-05)Classical biological control is a pest management practice frequently deployed against invasive insects. However, introduced natural enemies too often fail to establish, and this has been partly explained by climatic ... -
Patch exploitation behaviour by a parasitoid of a forest pest: The influence of host cues and intra- and interspecific interactions
(Wiley, 2024-03)For parasitoids, host foraging is the most significant activity for their reproductive success, as it directly translates into offspring production. Therefore, foraging behaviour and patch-use decisions by parasitoids still ... -
Population Development of the Invasive Species Thaumastocoris peregrinus (Hemiptera: Thaumastocoridae) on four Eucalyptus Species of the Subgenus Symphyomyrtus
(Springer, 2018-06)Thaumastocoris peregrinus Carpintero & Dellapé (Hemiptera: Thaumastocoridae) is a small sap-sucking insect that feeds on Eucalyptus L’Hér. leaves. Although it is native to Australia, it currently has a global distribution ... -
Population ecology and classical biological control of forest insect pests in a changing world
(Elsevier, 2022-09-15)Forests are important for climate regulation and provide wood and fiber to an increasing human population. Forest systems encompass a large part of the world’s land surface area and they are increasingly threatened by ... -
Potential impact of the leaf‐cutting ant Acromyrmex lobicornis on conifer plantations in northern Patagonia, Argentina
(Wiley, 2011-05)The economic losses associated with crop damage by invasive pests can be minimized by recognizing their potential impact before they spread into new areas or crops. We experimentally evaluated the preferences of the ... -
Predicting North American Scolytinae invasions in the Southern Hemisphere
(2017-01)Scolytinae species are recognized as one of the most important tree mortality agents in coniferous forests worldwide, and many are known invaders because they are easily transported in wood products. Nonnative trees planted ... -
Severidad de daños causado por Leptocybe invasa y crecimiento Inicial en clones híbridos de eucaliptos
(Estación Experimental Agropecuaria Concordia, INTA, 2020-10)El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar la severidad de daños causados por Leptocybe invasa y el crecimiento en diámetro y altura, en un ensayo de clones híbridos de eucaliptos. La avispa de la agalla de los eucaliptos ... -
Sirex noctilio flight behavior : towards improving current monitoring techniques
(2014-08)Sirex noctilio Fabricius (Hymenoptera: Siricidae), una avispa invasora de España y el Norte de África, tiene una presencia global en expansión en los bosques de pino. A pesar de que sus poblaciones se gestionan en la mayoría ... -
Spatial dynamics of a Sirex noctilio woodwasp population within a pine plantation in Patagonia, Argentina
(Wiley, 2007-12)The woodwasp Sirex noctilio F. (Hymenoptera: Siricidae) is probably the most important pest of pine tree plantations of the southern hemisphere. We studied the spatial arrangement of an endemic population of the woodwasp ... -
Spatiotemporal outbreak dynamics of bark and wood-boring insects
(Elsevier, 2023-02)Bark and wood-boring insects (BWI) can cause important disturbances in forest ecosystems, and their impact depends on their spatiotemporal dynamics. Populations are usually at stable, low densities but can be disrupted by ... -
Substrates Preference for Pupation on Sawfly Notofenusa surosa (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae)
(Springer, 2015-05)The choices made by insects at different stages of their life cycle are critical for the individual and progeny success. In the case of leaf-miners, during larval development they are not able to make choices until the ... -
Taladrillo de los forestales: algunos aspectos de su biología, detección y manejo de poblaciones
(EEA Alto Valle, INTA, 2013)Megaplatypus sulcatus Chapius, conocido vulgarmente como "barreno" o "taladrillo de los forestales", es un coleóptero que produce severos daños en plantaciones forestales y frutales perforando el tronco de los árboles, ... -
Temperature explains variable spread rates of the invasive woodwasp Sirex noctilio in the Southern Hemisphere
(2014-02)La frecuencia de introducciones de no indígena insectos forestales en nuevos hábitats va en aumento en todo el mundo, a menudo con consecuencias profundamente negativas sobre los ecosistemas naturales y las plantaciones ... -
Trapping success and flight behavior of two parasitoid species of the woodwasp Sirex noctilio
