Avispas exóticas en la Patagonia: la importancia de la ecología de invasiones en el manejo de plagas
(2014-08)El manejo integrado de plagas (MIP) se basa en el conocimiento de la ecología de las especies problema. Se ha sugerido que cuando las plagas son especies invasoras, la comprensión del proceso de invasión puede mejorar aun ... -
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 ... -
Can entomophagous nematodes slow the spread of invasive pest populations? The case study of Beddingia siricidicola released for the management of Sirex noctilio
(2014-12)Though rarely used in this way, biological control could potentially be exploited for managing spread of invasive species. Because spread of invasive species emerges from the combined action of population growth and ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Food and Host Searching Decisions Made by Ibalia leucospoides (Hymenoptera: Ibaliidae), a Parasitoid of Sirex noctilio (Hymenoptera:Siricidae)
(2012-07)During their adult life, parasitoids—insects that lay eggs in or on other arthropods eventually killing them- spend a significant proportion of their lifetime searching for hosts, this behavior will determine their future ... -
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, ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Spatial pattern of attacks of the invasive woodwasp Sirex noctilio, at landscape and Stand Scale
(2015-05-18)Invasive insect pests are responsible for important damage to native and plantation forests, when population outbreaks occur. Understanding the spatial pattern of attacks by forest pest populations is essential to improve ... -
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 ... -
The Influence of Food and Con-specifics on the Flight Potential of the Parasitoid Ibalia leucospoides
(Springer, 2011-11)For insect parasitoids, knowledge of their flight capability is essential for a general understanding of the relationship with their hosts. For instance, flight capacity might partly determine their efficacy as biological ... -
Trapping success and flight behavior of two parasitoid species of the woodwasp Sirex noctilio
(Elsevier, 2019-04-19)Classical biological control relies on the deliberate introduction of natural enemies to reduce pest populations below damage thresholds. Knowledge on key aspects of the behavior of antagonists and their population densities ...
