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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
“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
(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 ... -
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 ... -
