Abstract Biological invasions are affected by characteristics of invading species, strength pathway connectivity among world regions and habitat invaded regions. These factors may interact in complex ways to drive geographical variation numbers Understanding the role these drivers provides information that is crucial development effective biosecurity policies. Here we assemble for first time a global database historical Scolytinae species explore explaining different This insect group...
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...
Abstract Non-native pests, climate change, and their interactions are likely to alter relationships between trees tree-associated organisms with consequences for forest health. To understand predict such changes, factors structuring communities need be determined. Here, we analysed the data consisting of records insects fungi collected from dormant twigs 155 tree species at 51 botanical gardens or arboreta in 32 countries. Generalized dissimilarity models revealed similar relative importance...
Scolytinae species are recognized as one of the most important tree mortality agents in coniferous forests worldwide, and many known invaders because they easily transported wood products. Nonnative trees planted novel habitats often exhibit exceptional growth, part escape herbivore (such Scolytinae) pressure from their native range. Increasing accidental introductions forest pest a consequence international trade, however, is expected to diminish enemy release nonnative trees. In this...
Hylurgus ligniperda (F.) is a highly successful invader among bark beetles (Scolytinae) and forest insects in general. Native to the western Palearctic region, it has become established every continent where its host plants (Pinus spp.) occur. Especially southern hemisphere regions with large pine plantations, often abundant. As repeat wealth of information on various aspects relevant for biological invasions, suitable as model organism studying role international trade, planting non-native...
Abstract Habitat fragmentation studies have produced complex results that are challenging to synthesize. Inconsistencies among may result from variation in the choice of landscape metrics and response variables, which is often compounded by a lack key statistical or methodological information. Collating primary datasets on biodiversity responses consistent flexible database permits simple data retrieval for subsequent analyses. We present relational links such field taxonomic nomenclature,...
Invasive insect pests are responsible for important damage to native and plantation forests, when population outbreaks occur. Understanding the spatial pattern of attacks by forest pest populations is essential improve our understanding dynamics predicting attack risk invasives or planning management strategies. The woodwasp Sirex noctilio an invasive that has become probably most pine plantations in Southern Hemisphere. Our aim was study S. Argentina. Specifically we describe: (1) patterns...
<title>Abstract</title> Global trade and the spread of non-native host plants are driving introduction forest insects to new regions, often causing substantial ecological economic damage in forests. Understanding invasion pathways is essential tracking preventing these introductions. This study investigates two pine bark beetle species (<italic>Orthotomicus erosus</italic> <italic>Cyrtogenius luteus</italic>) South America using mitochondrial DNA analysis. We collected samples from native...
The management of forested landscapes for biodiversity conservation is increasingly recognized as an important objective in Argentina. However, pine plantations are being established replacing native pristine or human modified vegetation and there a lack information its impact on biodiversity. To understand the effect this activity small mammal assemblages, we compared composition abundance dedicated to traditional cattle production studied habitat structure that could explain differences...
Abstract Changes in land use patterns and vegetation can trigger ecological change occupancy community composition. Among the potential consequences of is altered susceptibility to by invasive species. We investigated responses three introduced mammals (red deer, Cervus elaphus ; wild boar, Sus scrofa European hare, Lepus europaeus ) replacement native exotic pine plantations Patagonian forest‐steppe ecotone using camera‐trap surveys (8633 trap‐days). used logistic regression models relate...
Abstract Patagonian forests are the southernmost temperate in world, and Nothofagus pumilio is one of their most ecologically important tree species (i.e., a foundation species). It presents great adaptability wide distribution range, making it suitable model for predicting performance trees facing global climate change.
