Classical biological control of an invasive forest pest : a world perspective of the management of Sirex noctilio using the parasitoid Ibalia leucospoides (Hymenoptera: Ibaliidae)
(2015-02)Classical biological control is a key method for managing populations of pests in long-lived crops such as plantation forestry. The execution of biological control programmes in general, as the evaluation of potential ... -
Descubriendo nuevas interacciones en el bosque Andino-Patagónico: comportamiento alimenticio del insecto defoliador nativo Perzelia arda (Lepidoptera: Oecophoridae)
(Edición del Autor, 2018-11)Perzelia Arda es una polilla que se encuentra presente en el bosque Andino-Patagónico. Durante su etapa larval es herbívora pegadora y enrolladora de hojas, afectando el desarrollo óptimo de sus plantas hospedadoras, las ... -
Determining the origin of invasions and demonstrating a lack of enemy release from microsporidian pathogens in the common wasps (Vespula vulgaris)
(2014-08)La comprensión del papel de la liberación de enemigo en las invasiones biológicas requiere una evaluación del área de distribución del invasor, el número de eventos de invasión y la prevalencia del enemigo. La avispa común ... -
Distribution, dispersal and spread of the invasive social wasp (Vespula germanica) in Argentina
(2013-04)Se estudió la distribución y difusión de la avispa invasora sociales Vespula germanica en Argentina, se centra en la contribución de la dispersión de la reina de la expansión territorial. Vespula germanica es originaria ... -
Distribution, Invasion History, and Ecology of Non-native Pine Bark Beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) in Southern South America
(Springer, 2024-01)The growth of international trade, coupled with an expansion of large-scale pine plantations in South America during the second half of the twentieth century, has significantly increased the opportunities for the invasion ... -
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 ... -
Field preferences of the Social Wasp Vespula germanica (Hymenoptera: Vespide) for Protein-rich Baits
(2013-09)Las preferencias alimentarias mostrados por forrajeo insectos son importantes desde una perspectiva fundamental y en el control de plagas. Se estudió la preferencia de un invasiva avispa, V. germanica, de alimentos ricos ... -
Insectos de importancia económica y sanitaria “La hormiga cortadora de hojas”, Acromyrmex lobicornis
(Ediciones INTA, 2019-12)Acromyrmex lobicornis es la hormiga cortadora que posee la distribución más extensa de Argentina y que alcanza las latitudes más australes del mundo. En Patagonia, la herbivoría por hormigas cortadoras, aunque de menor ... -
Insectos herbívoros nativos de la Patagonia: Su importancia y rol en los ambientes naturales
(EEA Bariloche, INTA, 2018-12)Estudiar la biología, el comportamiento y las interacciones de los insectos herbívoros permite establecer un enfoque preventivo sobre el desarrollo de potenciales plagas que puedan afectar ambientes naturales como bosques ... -
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 ... -
“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 ecology and classical biological control of forest insect pests in a changing world
