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.

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 In 2022, two independent insect surveys in canton Ticino (southern Switzerland) revealed the widespread occurrence of invasive ambrosia beetle Anisandrus maiche from southern to central-upper Ticino. This species is native east Asia and has previously been found as a non-native United States, Canada, western Russia, Ukraine and, 2021, northern Italy. Here, we present results several trapping studies using different trap types (bottle traps, funnel traps Polytrap intercept traps)...
