Abstract In this publication, we review the biology, ecology, invasion history, impacts and management options of Emerald ash borer (EAB) Agrilus plannipennis , with a particular focus on its in Europe. planipennis ( EAB ) is wood‐boring beetle native to East Asia. Having caused massive damages species North America last decades, it was first recorded Europe 2003 Russia (Moscow). All Fraxinus are known be susceptible attacks, which cause high tree mortality even among formerly healthy trees. Recorded expansion rates between 2.5 80 km/year 13 41 European Russia. Given current rates, expected reach Central within 15–20 years. A combination mechanical, biological chemical control phytosanitary measures may reduce impact, nevertheless most likely will substantial. There an urgent need identify enemies Europe, test suitable biocontrol agents develop early detection measures. Although obvious that become major pest dedicated response able level mortality, thus improve opportunity for long‐term survival as important component forests.

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.

An integrative phenology and climatic suitability model for emerald ash borer

Introduction Decision support models that predict both when and where to expect emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), are needed for the development implementation of effective management strategies against this major invasive pest ( Fraxinus species) in North America other regions such as Europe. We present a spatialized model phenology climatic suitability EAB use Degree-Days, Risk, Phenological event mapping (DDRP) platform, which is an open-source decision tool help detect, monitor, manage threats. Methods evaluated using presence records from three geographic (China, America, Europe) phenological dataset consisting primarily observations northeastern midwestern United States. To demonstrate model, we produced maps recent year tested trends EAB’s potential distribution over 20-year period. Results Overall, exhibited strong performance. Presence was correctly estimated 99% predicted dates adult events corresponded closely with observed dates, mean absolute error ca. 7 days low estimates bias.

Abstract In 2022, EFSA was mandated by the European Commission's Directorate‐General for Health and Food Safety (M‐2022‐00070) to provide technical assistance on list of Union quarantine pests qualifying as priority pests, specified in Article 6(2) Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 protective measures against plant pests. As part Task C, conducted expert knowledge elicitations candidate focusing lag period, expansion rate impact production (yield quality losses) environment. This report provides rationale dataset Agrilus planipennis, delivered Joint Research Centre, feed into Impact Indicator Priority Pests (I2P2) model complete pest prioritisation ranking exercise.

Multi-model assessments to characterize occurrences of emerald ash borer (Coleoptera: Buprestidae)

Journal of Insect Science, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 25(3)

Опубликована: Май 1, 2025

Introduction and spread of nonindigenous species present a formidable threat to forest health. The emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis, is an East Asian-origin insect that has devastated (Fraxinus spp.) trees across the United States parts Canada since 2002. Proactive surveillance using high-performing predictive models could aid in mitigating pest risk. Predictor variables modeling methods are important considerations such analysis. Therefore, we assessed whether relevant single predictors, combination predictors grouped under certain driver category, or multiple key comprising several drivers, alter goodness-of-fit logistic regression EAB occurrence data (2002 2018) from Canada. used included spatial, topographic/positional, transport pathways/human hotspots, host-related factors, climate-related variables. Using best candidate model, tested performance 7 different model types including ensemble model. Our findings showed wide range drivers better characterized occurrences than any given category. In multi-model comparisons, random outperformed all other models, Elevation, infestation pressure, accumulated degree-days (>10 °C), human population density were presence. Random forecasts for city Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, indicated area potential concern EAB. research strongly underscores utility comparative approaches invasive risk assessments have implications management.

Abstract Most of the current understanding orientation and communication jewel beetles arose from research on Asian emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis, which has become one most destructive invasive forest insect pests in history following its introduction to North America European Russia. From a perspective, number have high risk similar that borer, including potential threat bronze birch anxius, goldspotted oak auroguttatus, twolined chestnut bilineatus. Native expanding their geographic range include cypress beetle Ovalisia festiva black-banded Coraebus florentinus. Other native species are increasing importance, flathead undatus, two-spotted biguttatus, flatheaded beech viridis cuprescens. Commonly used prism multi-funnel trap designs other promising experimental been tested compared US Europe. One factor considered colouration, typically purple green.

Field observations made mating host-finding behaviours buprestids based upon visual stimuli By using pinned dead EAB models, approaches observed by males sulcicollis angustulus, behaviour previously EAB. Green plastic-covered branch-traps significantly out-performed caught more if an artificial decoy copies body was included.

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. However, predictions could be improved considering forest structure, localization roads.
