A first worldwide multispecies survey of invasive Mediterranean pine bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae)
(Springer, 2020-02)Several European and Mediterranean species of pine bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) have become established in North America and the southern hemisphere, posing a novel threat to planted and naturally-occurring ... -
Aggressive tree killer or natural thinning agent? Assessing the impacts of a globally important forest insect
(Elsevier, 2021-03)Invasive insects and pathogens are prominent tree mortality agents in forests around the world, and the magnitude of their impacts is increasing. Comparative studies across multiple populations can be helpful for the ... -
Behavioural response of the woodwasp Sirex noctilio to volatile emissions of its fungal symbiont
(2015-01)The wood-boring wasp, Sirex noctilio, is a global invasive pest that infects and kills pine trees by inoculating spores of a symbiotic fungus (Amylostereum areolatum) at oviposition. Wasp larvae depend on fungal growth to ... -
Droughts drive outbreak dynamics of an invasive forest insect on an exotic host
(Elsevier, 2019-02)Insect outbreaks are among the most important biotic disturbances in forest ecosystems and can exert immense economic and ecological impacts. Understanding the spatio-temporal patterns of eruptive insects can provide ... -
Ecology of the woodwasp Sirex noctilio : tackling the challenge of successful pest management
(2012-08)The invasive woodwasp Sirex noctilio has become one of the most significant pests of pine forests throughout the northern and southern hemispheres. In Patagonia (southern Argentina), S. noctilio was first detected in the ... -
Host selection behaviour of the banded pine weevil, Pissodes castaneus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(Wiley, 2023-08)Pissodes castaneus represents an emerging pest species for Pinus spp. production in Latin America. This species attacks all the cultivated pine species in Patagonia Argentina causing wood damage and tree death. The objectives ... -
Insectos de importancia económica y sanitaria : “Avispas barrenadoras de la madera: Sirícidos invasores en la Patagonia”
(EEA Bariloche, 2020-08)Durante las últimas tres décadas han sido introducidas accidentalmente en la región patagónica tres especies de avispas barrenadoras de la madera. Su gran potencial invasor e impactos sobre la actividad forestal han llevado ... -
Life history traits of Sirex noctilio F. (Hymenoptera: Siricidae) can explain outbreaks independently of environmental factors
(2013-12)La avispa Sirex noctilio es una plaga importante de las plantaciones de pino en todo el mundo. Económicamente daño significativo se limita sin embargo a brote poblaciones. Para entender lo que determina la dinámica de los ... -
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, ... -
Oviposition substrate location by the invasive woodwasp Sirex noctilio: the combined effect of chemical cues emitted by its obligate symbiont Amylostereum areolatum and different host-tree species
(Wiley, 2023-06)BACKGROUND: Sirex noctilio is an invasive forest wasp that affects pines and can result in severe economic losses. The use of semiochemicals offers an opportunity to develop sensitive and specific capturing systems to ... -
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 ... -
The Ambrosia Beetle Megaplatypus mutatus: A Threat to Global Broad-Leaved Forest Resources
(Entomological Society of America, 2022-08)We provide scientists and decision-makers with up-to-date information on Megaplatypus mutatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Platypodinae), a forest insect native to South America that has invaded other regions. Emphasis is ...
