Abstract Infestations of ambrosia beetles in the tribe Xyleborini (Coleoptera: Scolytinae) are associated with economic losses to horticultural trees due branch die‐back and tree death. Ethanol is a key attractant used for monitoring flight activity. Trapping experiments were conducted woodlots Ohio, USA, Veneto, Italy, characterize effect ethanol release rate on captures Anisandrus maiche , Xyleborinus saxesenii Xylosandrus crassiusculus germanus . In Ohio (2019, 2020 2021) Italy (2021), traps baited centrifuge tubes that modified achieve rates 0.1–13.2 g/day. (2022), varying quantities manufactured lures 0.02–1.4 There was no consistent relationship between trap tubes. nine sixteen analyses, releasing at 1.1 g/day or higher collected more A.

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.

Microorganisms play an important role in plant growth and development. In particular, endophytic fungi is one of the kinds microorganisms has a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship with host plants. Endophytic have many substantial benefits to plants, especially for woody such as accelerating growth, enhancing stress resistance, promoting nutrient absorption, resisting pathogens etc. However, effects on development plants not been systematically summarized. this review, functions mainly reviewed, including regulating (e.g., flowering, root elongation, etc.) by producing nutrients hormones, improving disease, insect resistance heavy metal secondary metabolites. addition, diversity could improve ability adapt adverse environment.

Ambrosia beetles are fungal-growing insects excavating galleries deep inside the wood. Their success as invaders increased scientific interest towards them. However, most studies on their microbiota targeted fungal associates whereas role of bacterial is understudied. To explore abundant microbial associates, we isolated bacteria from active two widespread ambrosia beetles, Xylosandrus crassiusculus and X. germanus. These isolates were classified within Erwiniaceae family through a phylogenetic analysis including other showed that they clustered with obtained bark Erwinia typographi. The whole genome isolate suggested this bacterium plays both nutritional role, by providing essential amino acids enzymes for hydrolysis plant biomass, defensive producing antibiotics. This was also tested in vitro against fungi, mutualists, common parasites. inhibited growth some parasites but did not affect mutualists. Our study supported hypothesis mutualist highlighed importance maintaining symbiosis host fungi.

The development of effective control strategies targeting non-native ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae and Platypodinae) represents an emerging challenge. This is due both to their rapid spread into climatically suitable newly invaded regions rich in susceptible host plants the limited knowledge concerning sustainable management tools. In this context, use botanical insecticides, such as plant essential oils (EOs), considered a promising option Integrated Pest Management (IPM) alternative conventional insecticides for crop protection. Here, impact five EO nanoemulsions (Rosmarinus officinalis L. cultivar verbenone, Carlina acaulis L., Laurus nobilis Cupressus sempervirens Betula alba L.) on choice behavior, colonization progeny production by invasive beetle Xylosandrus compactus (Eichhoff) was evaluated under laboratory semi-field conditions. chemical composition tested EOs firstly means gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analyses. Then, were prepared characterized through dynamic light scattering (DLS). Tested showed single or bimodal droplet size distributions nanometric range. Results highlighted significant repellent activity R. cv. verbenone C. (at 3% concentration). However, trend repellence against not confirmed at decreasing concentrations (i.e., 1% 0.5%). Nanoemulsions based significantly affected choices regardless concentration. Indeed, no bioassays, lower number individuals started infesting stems treated with these nanoemulsions. On other hand, effect treatment found offspring produced survived females. Overall, our findings provide new insights toward repellents X. compactus, suggesting future incorporation non-chemical strategies, 'push-pull', part IPM packages pest.
