Fusarium circinatum, the causal agent of pine pitch canker (PPC), is currently one most important threats Pinus spp. globally. This pathogen known in many pine-growing regions, including natural and planted forests, can affect all life stages trees, from emerging seedlings to mature trees. Despite importance PPC, global distribution F. circinatum poorly documented, this problem also true hosts within countries that are affected. The aim study was review with a particular focus on Europe. We...
Invasive alien insects cause serious ecological and economical losses around the world. Here, we review bionomics, modern ranges (and their dynamics), distribution pathways, monitoring, control measures of 14 insect species known to be important invasive emerging tree pests in forest urban ecosystems Russia: Leptoglossus occidentalis (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Coreidae), Halyomorpha halys Pentatomidae), Corythucha arcuata Tingidae), Agrilus fleischeri, A. mali, planipennis, Lamprodila (Palmar)...
Summary Dothistroma needle blight ( DNB ) caused by septosporum and pini is a damaging disease of pine in many countries. The led to the abandonment planting susceptible Pinus species parts Africa, Asia, Australasia, Europe North America. Although can be effectively controlled using copper fungicides, this chemical only routinely applied forests New Zealand Australia. Other management tactics aimed at making conditions less favourable for development, such as thinning or pruning, may...
Pines are major components of native forests and plantations in Europe, where they have both economic significance an important ecological role. Diseases pines mainly caused by fungal oomycete pathogens, can significantly reduce the survival, vigor, yield individual trees entire stands or plantations. Pine pitch canker (PPC), Fusarium circinatum (Nirenberg O’Donnell), is among most devastating pine diseases world, example emergent invasive disease Europe. The effects microbial interactions...
Abstract Aim The strength of species interactions is traditionally expected to increase toward the Equator. However, recent studies have reported opposite or inconsistent latitudinal trends in bottom‐up (plant quality) and top‐down (natural enemies) forces driving herbivory. In addition, these rarely been studied together thus limiting previous attempts understand effect large‐scale climatic gradients on Location Europe. Time period 2018–2019. Major taxa Quercus robur . Methods We...
Abstract Urbanization is an important driver of the diversity and abundance tree‐associated insect herbivores, but its consequences for herbivory are poorly understood. A likely source variability among studies insufficient consideration intra‐urban in forest cover. With help citizen scientists, we investigated independent interactive effects local canopy cover percentage impervious surface on pedunculate oak ( Quercus robur L.) throughout most geographic range Europe. We found that damage...
The trans-Palearctic moth Phyllonorycter populifoliella (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) is a major pest of the North American Populus balsamifera and its hybrids widely planted as ornamentals in Asia (i.e., Asian part Russia). We DNA barcoded Ph. from distant geographical populations Russia analyzed them together with data eight European countries India to estimate intraspecific variability haplotype richness Palearctic, specifically Asia. Furthermore, using next-generation sequencing (NGS,...
Agrilus planipennis is a devastating invasive pest of ash trees in European Russia, Ukraine, and North America. To monitor the north-western limit its range, June 2018 we established 10 study plots along federal highway M10 (Russia) that runs between Moscow Saint Petersburg through Tver’ City (approx. 180 km from Moscow), lined with trees. On each plot, 2–4 Fraxinus pennsylvanica heights ranging 6.1–17.0 m diameters 7.0–18.0 cm were girdled, i.e., 50 their bark removed. The visited girdled...
Отношения в ассоциации короедов, грибов, нематод с деревом-хозяином представляют собой многоуровневую систему трансмиссивных и трофических связей, обеспечивающих лабильный характер сценариев болезней, приводящих к гибели дерева. Трансмиссия короедами фитопатогенных грибов стволовых нередко выступает как ключевой фактор ослабления древесных растений лесных парковых насаждениях. Тем не менее взамодействия различных организмов этом четырехкомпонентном комплексе видоспецифичен роль патогенов...
The emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis, is an invasive beetle of East Asian origin that has killed millions trees (Fraxinus spp.) in North America and Russia. In September 2020, EAB was detected Saint Petersburg, a notable event for the metropolitan city. aim present study to investigate occurrence ecology Petersburg. presence two distinct enclave populations revealed, each which has, most likely, been established through separate events “hitchhiking” via transport vehicles....

We separated direct and indirect effects of sulphur dioxide on performance the leaf beetle Melasoma lapponica L. Ramets naturally growing bushes Salix borealis (Fries) Nasar., enclosed in plastic chambers, were infested by 1st instars fumigated with either ambient air or 1 4 SO2 concentrations (100, 200, 500, 1,000 μg/m3) for 15 d. Simultaneously, larvae that fed leaves from these chambers reared outside chambers. Survival insects grown increased stayed same an increase concentration applied...
Pine pitch canker (PPC), caused by the pathogenic fungus Fusarium circinatum (Nirenberg and O’ Donnell), is a serious threat to pine forests globally. The recent introduction of pathogen Southern Europe its spread in Mediterranean region alarming considering immense ecological economic importance pines region. Pines nurseries can be infected, resulting severe growth losses mortality. known plants for planting seeds, results from studies have indicated that F. may also through phoretic...
The fungal pathogen Fusarium circinatum (Nirenberg and O’ Donnell) is the causal agent of pine pitch canker (PPC) disease, which seriously affects conifer species in forests nurseries worldwide. In Europe, PPC only established Iberian Peninsula; however, it presumed that its range could expand through continent near future. Infection caused by this fungus requires open wounds on tree, including physical damage insects. Therefore, a relationship probably occurs between wide variety aim review...
Abstract The official statistics of the Ministry Natural Resources Russian Federation record areas forest degradation as a key indicator disturbance. area north-western part Russia varies from 14,000 to 28,000 ha per year, main disturbance factors in forests being fires, insect outbreaks and strong wind. These caused up 21,000, 3000 300 year 2001–2003, respectively. There is need for further development correction databases on by Federation, particularly with respect resulting outbreaks....
