Dryocosmus kuriphilus (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae), also known as the Asian chestnut gall
wasp, is a non-native invasive species that has recently appeared in many regions of
Europe, including the Iberian Peninsula. This species is an important pest of chestnut trees
in several regions and is of concern for foresters in these areas. The results of this research
revealed 14 different hotspots of infestation of D. kuriphilus and resulted in the development
of models that predict the distribution of D. kuriphilus in Spain over the next 37 years (2019 …

Abstract Photinus signaticollis Blanchard, 1846 (Coleoptera: Lampyridae) is a firefly native
to South America and recently established in Europe. Since 2016, this firefly has colonized

France in 2019. The larvae of this firefly feed on earthworms, so a high density of this
species could negatively impact this key group in soil processes and agriculture. The
precise extent of colonization, the environmental niche and the potential range expansion in …
