The impact of invasive herbivore species may be lower in more diverse plant communities
due to mechanisms of associational resistance. According to the “resource concentration …

The biocontrol agent Torymus sinensis has been released into Japan, the USA, and Europe
to suppress the Asian chestnut gall wasp, Dryocosmus kuriphilus. In this study, we provide a …

Research on recruitment of native parasitoids on the recently introduced invasive species
Dryocosmus kuriphilus has been carried out on four sites in 2011 and 2012 in Croatia. In …

Since the rapid spread of the Asian chestnut gall wasp (ACGW) throughout south-east
Europe in the last few years, the possibilities of its control have been increasingly …

The Asian chestnut gall wasp, Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu, is one of the most serious
pests of Castanea spp. worldwide. Since local parasitoids did not effectively control this …

The invasive gallmaker Dryocosmus kuriphilus is a threat to chestnut stands and it is
necessary to control it in order to maintain a satisfactory nut yield. A preliminary evaluation of …

A survey of tree crown defoliation and leaf physiological traits (chlorophyll a fluorescence,
nitrogen content, and stable carbon isotope composition) was carried out in the …

The associations occurring between the Asian chestnut gall wasp (ACGW) Dryocosmus
kuriphilus Yasumatsu (Hymenoptera Cynipidae) and native parasitoids were investigated …

The success of invasive species largely depends on the resistance offered by the native
communities. Dryocosmus kuriphilus is a cynipid native from China that is a serious pest of …

Abstract Theory predicts that mixed forests are more resistant to native pests than pure
forests (ie associational resistance) because of reduced host accessibility and increased top …
