Minimum Winter Temperature as a Limiting Factor of the Potential Spread of Agrilus planipennis, an Alien Pest of Ash Trees, in Europe

The emerald ash borer, EAB (Agrilus planipennis) is a devastating alien pest of trees. It spreading in European Russia and Ukraine will appear other countries. Our aim was to determine the regions Europe where winter temperature drops low enough prevent A. planipennis establishment. We calculated minimum daily air from 2003-2019 for each grid square (0.5° × 0.5°) East Asia, North America determined squares recorded. Temperatures -30 -33 °C occur northern portions range on all continents. No established population has been recorded localities temperatures below -34 occur.

However, such are rare eastern (Kostroma, Vologda, Orenburg regions, Fraxinus pennsylvanica F. excelsior These potentially become refuges these species.

Plasticity drives extreme cold tolerance of emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis) during a polar vortex

Invasive species must often survive combinations of environmental conditions that differ considerably from their native range; however, for a given it is unclear whether improved tolerance the result phenotypic plasticity or genetic adaptation (or both). Agrilus planipennis (Coleoptera: Buprestidae; emerald ash borer) an invasive pest Fraxinus trees in North America and Europe. Previous studies SW Ontario, Canada, showed A. freeze avoidant, preventing internal ice formation by accumulating Molar concentrations glycerol its hemolymph depressing supercooling point (SCP, temperature at which freezes). The cold these Ontario animals was used to predict potential distribution, revealing some Canadian cities should be too allow populations persist. However, small population has persisted Winnipeg, Manitoba, through several severe 'polar vortex' events. In 2018/19, we collected larvae prepupae MB Southern found individuals Winnipeg were extremely tolerant - with SCPs as low -52°C (compared -32°C Ontario), observed survival unfrozen exposed -50°C one hour. This accompanied higher osmolality concentration than individuals. To distinguish between local adaptation, 2020/21 overwintered Winnipeg-sourced either outdoors simulated winter. Simulated winter had similar those while previously region. animals, least part due greater dehydration. Thus, are cold-tolerant enough harshest winters where host can grow, most likely attain this via plasticity. These findings raise importance delineating sensitivity conclusions unexpected when predicting distributions new invasives responses climate change.

Low Heat Availability Could Limit the Potential Spread of the Emerald Ash Borer to Northern Europe (Prognosis Based on Growing Degree Days per Year)

Emerald ash borer Agrilus planipennis (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) is one of 20 priority quarantine pests the European Union. It native to Asia and established in USA, Canada, Russia, Ukraine. We made first prognosis potential range A. Europe based on heat availability. Mean annual growing degree days base 10 °C (AGDD10) was calculated for each grid square (0.25° × 0.25° latitude x longitude degrees) Earth's surface. Minimal AGDD10 recorded squares currently occupied by 714° Asia, 705° North America, 711° Russia. has never been localities with below 700°. If phenotypic plasticity would not allow this species overcome threshold, cold regions probably be invaded planipennis. Thus, Fraxinus excelsior could potentially escape from some Norway, Sweden, Finland, Ireland, Great Britain.

Emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis, is a phloem-boring beetle, native to East Asia that has become serious invasive pest of (Fraxinus spp.) trees in North America and European Russia since the early 2000s. In 2019, EAB was detected Ukraine. It had spread over 300 km from entry point two years killed hundreds Fraxinus excelsior F. pennsylvanica trees. poses threat forests neighboring countries, which have already been damaged by fungus Hymenoscyphus fraxineus. The purpose this research (i) reveal traits climatic variables affect its survival; (ii) predict expansion range Ukraine westward; (iii) compare most significant bioclimatic native, ranges EAB, as well outside these ranges. results demonstrated following: all ranges, adapted seasonal temperature variations; MaxEnt model predicted potential distribution with high accuracy (AUC = 0.988); area invasion covered 87%, 48%, 32% Luhansk, Kharkiv, Donetsk regions, respectively; EAB-inhabited regions ecological plasticity pest.

Emerald ash borer (EAB) Agrilus planipennis is native to East Asia and has recently become a devastating alien pest of trees in North America European Russia. There no doubt that the will spread other countries. Early detection identification this damaging crucial for minimizing its potential negative economic ecological impacts. are about 87 species genus Europe, but there guides identification, include species. We present here first guide distinguish emerald from similar based on easily detectible external morphological characters suitable use by non-taxonomists. The main diagnostic EAB adults are: large size (12–15 mm), head pronotal disc deeply impressed, sides converging toward anterior margin, elytra mostly brightly emerald, without tomentose spots, pygidium bearing apical process. character larvae bell-shaped abdominal segments 1–7.

Life history and mortality factors of Agrilus mali Matsumura (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) in wild apples in Northwestern China

Abstract Wild apple Malus sieversii (Ledeb.) M. Roem. (Rosales: Rosaceae), the ancestor of cultivated apples, is widely distributed in Central Asia and recognized as an important germplasm bank. Recently, invasive pest Agrilus mali Matsumura (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), originally eastern Asia, has damaged endemic forests Yili River valley, Xinjiang, China, spread rapidly, infesting more than 80% wild trees this region. We investigated life‐history traits native natural enemies recently invaded range during 2016 2017. a univoltine life cycle overwinters young larvae galleries cambium. Adults emerged from early June to mid‐August their density peaked mid‐July. Several were identified larvae, including Atanycolus denigrator (L.)

The most abundant enemy was A. , which up 15% . results present study suggest that augmentation conservation P. should be considered with respect biological control against devastating pest.
