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 ... -
Are invasive species promoting yellowjacket invasion in Patagonia?
(Wiley, 2022-06)In recent decades, yellowjacket wasps, including Vespula vulgaris, have successfully been established in Patagonia. Additionally, the invasive willow Salix fragilis has also invaded areas next to watercourses, which in ... -
Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae) distribution modelling improves our understanding of pest range limits
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)Spatial distributions models (SDM) are often used in invasive pest management to understand current and potential distribution. Using data on the well-studied spotted wing drosophila as a model, we compared distribution ... -
Ecological effects and management of invasive alien Vespidae
(Springer, 2011-08)Insect species associated with human goods continue to be accidentally introduced into new locations. A small proportion of these introduced species become invasive, causing a range of impacts in the receiving community. ... -
Factors driving historic intercontinental invasions of European pine bark beetles
(Springer, 2022-06)Largely assisted by global trade, alien insect species are being introduced into new territories at unprecedented rates. Among forest insects, pine bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) are a large and diverse ... -
Flexible foraging decisions made by workers of the social wasp Vespula germanica (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) in response to different resources: influence of ontogenetic shifts and colony feedback
(Wiley, 2022-04)Decisions made by foraging animals conform a complex process based on the integration of information from multiple external environmental stimuli and internal physiological signals, which in turn are modulated by individual ... -
Foraging behavior interactions between two non-native social wasps, Vespula germanica and V. vulgaris (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) : implications for invasion success?
(2016-01)Vespula vulgaris is an invasive scavenging social wasp that has very recently arrived in Patagonia (Argentina), a territory previously invaded – 35 yrs earlier – by another wasp, Vespula germanica. Although V. vulgaris ... -
Forest Health in the Southern Cone of America: State of the Art and Perspectives on Regional Efforts
(MDPI, 2023-04)The plantation and natural forests of South America have been highly impacted by native and exotic pests in recent decades. The interaction of emerging invasive pests, climate change, and timber markets will define the ... -
Genetic assessment of the invasion history of Drosophila suzukii in Argentina
(Springer Nature, 2019-08)Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is a highly polyphagous fruit pest native to eastern Asia, which in the last decade had widely expanded its range and become a serious pest in the Americas and Europe. Invasion ... -
Global Invader Impact Network (GIIN): toward standardized evaluation of the ecological impacts of invasive plants
(2015-07)Terrestrial invasive plants are a global problem and are becoming ubiquitous components of most ecosystems. They are implicated in altering disturbance regimes, reducing biodiversity, and changing ecosystem function, ... -
Gustatory responsiveness in Vespula germanica workers: exploring the interplay between sensory perception and task specialization
(Wiley, 2023-08-03)Workers’ task specialization and division of labor are critical features of social insects’ ecological success. It has been proposed that the division of labor relies on response threshold models: individuals varying their ... -
Long-term coexistence of two invasive vespid wasps in NW Patagonia (Argentina)
(Springer, 2022-07-03)In Patagonia (Argentina) two non-native vespid wasps became established in the last decades. Vespula germanica was first detected in 1980, while V. vulgaris arrived some 30 years later. Both species can have a strong ... -
Should tree invasions be used in treeless ecosystems to mitigate climate change?
(The Ecological Society of America, 2021)Intentionally allowing or promoting invasion by non-native trees into areas characterized by treeless vegetation could contribute to climate-change mitigation by increasing carbon (C) sequestration. In some areas of the ... -
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 ... -
Think globally, measure locally: The MIREN standardized protocol for monitoring plant species distributions along elevation gradients
(Wiley, 2022-02)Climate change and other global change drivers threaten plant diversity in mountains worldwide. A widely documented response to such environmental modifications is for plant species to change their elevational ranges. Range ... -
Unintended consequences of planting native and non-native trees in treeless ecosystems to mitigate climate change
(Wiley, 2024-03)Naturally treeless ecosystems are being replaced by native and non-native trees worldwide, often through deliberate afforestation using forestry tree species. By introducing species having novel traits, such as relatively ...
