Invasive alien insects cause serious ecological and economical losses around the world.
Here, we review the bionomics, modern ranges (and their dynamics), distribution pathways …

The cotton mealybug Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), which
is native to North America, emerged as a major invasive insect pest of multiple crops in Asia …

Invasive species pose significant threats to forest ecosystems. Early intervention strategies
are the most cost-effective means to control biological invasions, but are reliant on robust …

Polygraphus proximus, a four-eyed fir bark beetle, is an invasive bark beetle species which
has caused extensive damage to forests of Abies sibirica in southern and western Siberia …

Simple Summary Wolbachia bacteria are the most common symbionts of insects. These
bacteria are ordinarily transmitted via oocyte cytoplasm from mother to progeny, like …

The study is aimed at investigation of ophiostomatoid fungi, associated with the four-eyed fir
bark beetle (Polygraphus proximus Blandford, Coleoptera, Curculionidae)—an invasive pest …

Forests are important habitats that harbor high biodiversity and have great economic value
to humans. These ecosystems depend on saproxylic organisms, which play a crucial role in …

Abstract Bark beetles (Curculionidae: Scolytinae) can cause widespread tree mortality, and
change the structure, composition, and function of forests; however, limited data is available …

The life cycles of bark beetles are intimately linked to their host species. Therefore, bark
beetle species are expected to show traits that vary among host species and across …

Bark beetles attack their hosts at uniform intervals to avoid intraspecific competition in the
phloem. Bark texture and phloem thickness also affect bark beetle attacks, and the bark …
