Beetles are commonly moved among continents with international trade. Baited traps set up in and around entry points used to increase chances of early-detection incoming species complement visual inspections. A still underestimated benefit this surveillance approach is the high number diversity collected bycatch species. In study, we exploited a multiyear program carried out baited at five Spanish ports their surrounding natural areas investigate i) importance identifying more promptly detect nonnative belonging non-target groups; ii) patterns native richness abundance inside port vs. areas; iii) occurrence spillover events between areas, iv) whether most introduced into other countries abundant than areas. total 23,538 individuals from 206 representing 33 families were collected. The taxonomic 26 beetle testified that identification these unintentionally trapped can provide additional information on ongoing invasions. Patterns highlighted differential ability different colonize Finally, surroundings, while opposite trend occurred for have not been elsewhere.

It was accidentally introduced Tanzania became pest across central Africa. Unlike many pests, P. populations can establish move within forests. Consequently, novel infestations occur without human influence. objectives of our study were (i) develop an updated current suitability projection for truncatus, (ii) assess its potential future distribution under different climate change scenarios, (iii) identify variables that best inform the model. We used WALLACE MaxEnt predict global by incorporating bioclimatic occurrence records. Future models projected 2050 2070 with Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) 2.6 (low change) 8.5 (high change). Distribution most limited high precipitation cold temperatures. Globally, highly suitable areas (> 75%) primarily occurred along coastal equatorial regions in northern South America, India, southeastern Asia, Indonesia, Philippines, totaling 7% conditions. Highly at RCPs are estimated increase 12% 15%, respectively, 19% RCP 8.5. Centroids show centers moving more inshore away from equator. Notably, result range expansion, not shift.

Abstract Aim Non‐native species are part of almost every biological community worldwide, yet numbers establishments have an uneven global distribution. Asymmetrical exchanges between regions likely influenced by a range mechanisms, including propagule pressure, native pools, environmental conditions and biosecurity. While the importance different mechanisms is to vary among invasion stages, those occurring prior establishment (transport introduction) difficult account for. We used records unintentional insect introductions test (1) whether insects from some biogeographic more be successful invaders, (2) intensity trade flows determines how many intercepted successfully establish, (3) variables driving transport differ.

Ambrosia beetles are highly successful as invaders because they often transported internationally with wood packaging and other products their inbreeding mating systems facilitates establishment of invading populations. In 2022, two independent insect surveys in canton Ticino (southern Switzerland) revealed the widespread occurrence invasive ambrosia beetle Anisandrus maiche (Kurentzov, 1941) from southern to central-upper Ticino. This species is native east Asia has previously been found a non-native United States, Canada, western Russia, Ukraine and, 2021, northern Italy.

Human-mediated transport has led to the establishment of more than 6,700 non-native insect species with wide-ranging effects on ecosystems, economies and human health. Understanding how different aspects globalization affect spread insects is crucial reducing their effects. In this Review, we explore current historical patterns, drivers dynamics global invasions facilitated by humans since prehistory. Multiple history have influenced invasion dynamics, including agricultural practices in Neolithic period, advent early empires trade routes, colonization, geopolitical events, wars economic crises. Technological innovations such as steam ships, containerization internet further accelerated invasions. Spatial patterns are characterized frequent secondary via bridgehead populations, asymmetric intercontinental flows originating disproportionally from Europe, biotic homogenization communities.
