Bark and ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera, Scolytinae) are amongst the most important wood-boring insects introduced to Europe. During field investigations conducted between 2019 2021 in different countries regions of Europe, many exotic species have been recorded providing new relevant data. Dryoxylon onoharaense (Murayama, 1933) is Europe for first time.

Forest Insect Biosecurity: Processes, Patterns, Predictions, Pitfalls

Annual Review of Entomology, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 68(1), P. 211 - 229

Published: Oct. 6, 2022

The economic and environmental threats posed by non-native forest insects are ever increasing with the continuing globalization of trade travel; thus, need for mitigation through effective biosecurity is greater than ever. However, despite decades research implementation preborder, border, postborder preventative measures, insect invasions continue to occur, no evidence saturation, even predicted accelerate. In this article, we review measures used mitigate arrival, establishment, spread, impacts possible impediments successful these measures. Biosecurity successes likely under-recognized because they difficult detect quantify, whereas failures more evident in continued establishment additional species. There limitations existing systems at global country scales (for example, inspecting all imports impossible, phytosanitary perfect, knownunknowns cannot be regulated against, noncompliance an ongoing problem). should a shared responsibility across countries, governments, stakeholders, individuals.

Emerging Methods of Monitoring Volatile Organic Compounds for Detection of Plant Pests and Disease

Biosensors, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 12(4), P. 239 - 239

Each year, unwanted plant pests and diseases, such as Hendel or potato soft rot, cause damage to crops ecosystems all over the world. To continue feed growing population protect global ecosystems, surveillance management of spread these diseases are crucial. Traditional methods detection often expensive, bulky require expertise training. Therefore, inexpensive, portable, user-friendly required. These include use different gas-sensing technologies exploit volatile organic compounds released by plants under stress. meet requirements, although they come with their own set advantages disadvantages, including sheer number variables that affect profile released, sensitivity environmental factors availability soil nutrients water, sensor drift. Furthermore, most lack research on field conditions. More is needed overcome disadvantages further understand feasibility This paper focuses applications from past decade detect more efficiently.

Citizen science can enhance strategies to detect and manage invasive forest pests and pathogens

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 11

Published: Feb. 16, 2023

Incorporating a citizen science approach into biological invasion management strategies can enhance biosecurity. Many projects exist to strengthen the of forest pest and pathogen invasions within both pre- post-border scenarios. Besides value initiatives for early detection monitoring, they also contribute widely raising awareness, informing decisions about eradication containment efforts minimize spread, even finding resistant plant material restoration landscapes degraded by disease. Overall, many actively engage citizens in different stages invasions, but it is unclear how work together across all entire process Here we provide examples each stage process, discuss options developing program biosecurity, suggest approaches integrating biosecurity measures help safeguard resources future.

Factors affecting catches of bark beetles and woodboring beetles in traps

Journal of Pest Science, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 97(4), P. 1767 - 1793

Published: April 29, 2024

Abstract The use of semiochemical-baited traps for detection, monitoring, and sampling bark beetles woodboring (BBWB) has rapidly increased since the early 2000s. Semiochemical-baited survey are used in generic (broad community level) specific (targeted toward a species or group) surveys to detect nonnative potentially invasive BBWB, monitor established populations damaging native species, as tool natural communities various purposes. Along with expansion use, much research on ways improve efficacy trapping detection pests well BBWB general been conducted. In this review, we provide information intrinsic extrinsic factors how they influence detecting traps. Intrinsic factors, such trap type color, other described, important habitat selection, horizontal vertical placement, disturbance.

One-Health is an umbrella term that integrates the health of environment, humans and non-human animals. This approach applied here to elucidate impact non-native invasive species on aquaculture food security. Despite inherent biases against these species, a better understanding their characteristics allows for identification those greatest concern, minimizing risk shortages infectious diseases. review summarises positive negative impacts delineating specific areas they may impact. Additionally, this gives insight expertise stakeholders would need be included if "One-Health" were implemented by policymakers control species. Detailed examples illustrate consequences trophic dynamics, ecosystem health, water chemistry, human emphasizing importance managing them within multidimensional framework.

Predicting the potential distribution of harmful species to agriculture, livestock and forestry is decisive prevent their impacts, especially when these are expanding range due global change. Recent advances in modelling (SDM) have made tools widely used for biosecurity studies. We reviewed available literature SDM pest, weeds, pathogen biological-control agents, with aims synthesizing quantifying information, identifying gaps knowledge future perspectives. SDMs 420 were collected from 220 publications. Insect pests most frequently studied organisms. CLIMEX MaxEnt commonly tools, while pure mechanistic approaches rarely applied. Most studies covered broad scales, focused on predicting invasive and/or effects climate The challenge remains models include disturbance, resource availability, biotic factors, as well better quantify uncertainty.

Automated Applications of Acoustics for Stored Product Insect Detection, Monitoring, and Management

Insects, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 12(3), P. 259 - 259

Published: March 19, 2021

Acoustic technology provides information difficult to obtain about stored insect behavior, physiology, abundance, and distribution. For example, acoustic detection of immature insects feeding hidden within grain is helpful for accurate monitoring because they can be more abundant than adults present in samples without adults. Modern engineering acoustics have been incorporated into decision support systems product management, but with somewhat limited use due device costs the skills needed interpret data collected. However, inexpensive modern tools may facilitate further incorporation mainstream pest management precision agriculture. One such system was tested herein describe Sitophilus oryzae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) adult larval movement grain. Development improved methods identify sounds targeted insects, distinguishing them from each other background noise, an active area current research. The most powerful new machine learning. different strengths weaknesses depending on types noise signal characteristic target sounds. It likely that will automation decrease managing future.
