Scolytinae species are among the most damaging forest pests, and many of them invasive. Over 1500 interceptions were recorded at New Zealand's borders between 1950 2000. Among 103 Dendroctonus ponderosae, Ips typographus, other high-risk species, but actual arrivals probably included more species. Interceptions primarily associated with dunnage, casewood (crating), sawn timber, originated from 59 countries, mainly Europe, Australasia, northern Asia, North America. Zealand United States...
Bark and ambrosia beetles from the subfamily Scolytinae are among most important pests in forests of Northern Iran. During investigations conducted 2013–2016 different parts northern forests, species Crypturgus cribrellus Reitter, Liparthrum bartschti Mühl, Scolytus varshalovitchi Michalski, sulcifrons Rey, triarmatus (Eggers) Trypophloeus granulatus (Ratzeburg) were recorded for first time Iran; new genera As host plants we found Zelkova sp. varshalovitchi, Populus bartschti, Alnus...
Abstract Cryphalini Lindemann, 1877 are a speciose group of mostly miniscule beetles. The tribe is reviewed here which resulted in taxonomic and nomenclatural changes. This revision follows recent molecular phylogenomic re-analysis focused on the related scolytine taxa. analysis demonstrated that polyphyletic, as found other phylogenies. To ensure monophyletic classification, we present former with two tribes resurrected, one described, several genera transferred to existing tribes....
Amasa parviseta Knížek & Smith, new species is described from Australia, Brazil, Uruguay, France and Spain. The native to Australia appears have spread widely in association with introduced Eucalyptus species.
Two new species of Scolytinae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) are described from Jammu and Kashmir, Pseudothysanoes kashmirica sp. nov. Sphaerotrypes montanus These discoveries mark the first records genera Blackman,1920 South Asia Blandford, 1894 Northwestern Himalayan region. A discussion on biology together with a complete key to known provided.
Ambrosia beetles are highly successful as invaders because they often transported internationally with wood packaging and other products their inbreeding mating systems facilitates establishment of invading populations. In 2022, two independent insect surveys in canton Ticino (southern Switzerland) revealed the widespread occurrence invasive ambrosia beetle Anisandrus maiche (Kurentzov, 1941) from southern to central-upper Ticino. This species is native east Asia has previously been found a...
Abstract Mark‐release‐recapture experiments with both newly emerged and flight experienced Ips typographus L. were performed in a pine forest near Prague. Three concentric trap circles around the release site radius of 5 m, 200 m 500 intertrap distances 6 16 and. maximally, 40 installed intention collecting all dispersing bark beetles ready to respond pheromone lures. The results show that even without wind no potential host trees surroundings, only about one‐third (35.4%) emerging an...
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...
Several native species of bark- and wood-boring beetles (Coleoptera) have expanded their range within biogeographic regions in the last years, but role human activity driving this phenomenon has been underinvestigated. Here we analyze 3 yr trapping records (Cerambycidae Scolytinae) collected at 12 Italian ports surrounding forests to help elucidate movement region. We trapped several that occurred either inside or outside distributional Italy. Species richness abundance those found located...
Abstract Aim Insects feeding on seeds and fruits represent interesting study systems, potentially able to lower the fitness of their host plants. In addition true seed eaters, a suite insects feed fleshy parts fruits. We examined likelihood community convergence in whole insect assemblages attacking seeds/fruits three tropical rain forests. Location Three Forest GEO permanent forest plots within different biogeographical regions: Barro Colorado Island (Panama), Khao Chong (Thailand) Wanang...
A review of the New Zealand Scolytinae and Platypodinae has been carried out, revealing a relatively small fauna at least 19 indigenous Scolytinae, which 9 species are currently undescribed, four Platypodinae. Despite frequent interception exotic in imported timber wooden items, there only 11 introduced primarily Australian European origin.We provide numerous corrections incorrect synonyms records occurrence Zealand, new combination, Hypocryphalus longipennis (Browne), transferred from...
Hazelnut, a very important cash crop in Turkey, is frequently colonized by bark and ambrosia beetle species (Scolytinae). Some scolytine may cause economic damage while other do not; therefore, proper identification orchard management. Extensive sampling demonstrated that the most common pest Turkey's hazelnut orchards are Anisandrus dispar, Xylosandrus germanus, Xyleborinus saxesenii. Hypothenemus eruditus can also be common, but only colonizes branches already dead. Lymantor coryli,...
Outbreaks of conifer bark beetles in Europe and North America have increased scale severity recent decades. In this study, we identify existing fossil records containing beetle remains from the end Last Glacial Maximum (~14,000 cal. yr BP) to present day using online databases Neotoma BugsCEP literature searches, compare these data with modern distribution selected tree-killing species. Modern-day observational Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) database was used map recorded...
The northern bark beetle ( Ips duplicatus ), in Europe originally restricted to countries, expanded its distribution range eastern the 20 th century and is now causing considerable damage spruce forests. In past decades presence has been confirmed several Central European countries. By means of pheromone traps visual inspection infested logs, this study we demonstrate that I. also present Rhine valley Switzerland Liechtenstein. Breeding galleries with beetles exit holes an log indicate...
Exotic diseases and pests of trees have caused continental-scale disturbances in forest ecosystems industries, their invasions are considered largely unpredictable. We tested the concept preinvasion assessment not yet invasive organisms, which enables empirical risk potential invasion impact. Our example assesses fungi associated with Old World bark ambrosia beetles to impact North American trees. selected 55 Asian European scolytine beetle species using host use, economic, regulatory...
