Factors driving historic intercontinental invasions of European pine bark beetles
(Springer, 2022-06)
Largely assisted by global trade, alien insect species are being introduced into new territories at unprecedented rates. Among forest insects, pine bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) are a large and diverse ...
Droughts drive outbreak dynamics of an invasive forest insect on an exotic host
(Elsevier Science, 2019-02)
Insect outbreaks are among the most important biotic disturbances in forest ecosystems and can exert immense economic and ecological impacts. Understanding the spatio-temporal patterns of eruptive insects can provide ...
Flexible foraging decisions made by workers of the social wasp Vespula germanica (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) in response to different resources: influence of ontogenetic shifts and colony feedback
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2022-07)
Decisions made by foraging animals conform a complex process based on the integration of information from multiple external environmental stimuli and internal physiological signals, which in turn are modulated by individual ...
Life history traits of Sirex Noctilio f. (hymenoptera: siricidae) can explain outbreaks independently of environmental factors
(American Institute of Mathematical Sciences, 2013-08)
The woodwasp Sirex noctilio is a major pest of pine plantations
worldwide. Economically significant damage is however limited to outbreak
populations. To understand what determines outbreaks dynamics in this species,
we ...
Cytogenetic effect of Alternanthera philoxeroides (alligator weed) on Agasicles hygrophila (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in its native range
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2011-05)
Plant genotypic effects can alter insects' ability of utilizing their host plant. Alligator weed, Alternanthera philoxeroides, is a South American amphibious Amaranthaceae, which invades aquatic and terrestrial habitats. ...
Management of Sirex noctilio populations in exotic pine plantations: critical issues explaining invasion success and damage levels in South America
(Springer Nature, 2018-11)
Plantation forestry with non-native trees is steadily increasing in the southern hemisphere and alien pest problems are also accumulating, as a consequence of the growing international movement of people and goods. Here, ...
CO2 improves the performance of an invasive insect: a worrisome climate crisis scenario to native and agricultural ecosystems
(Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisBrasilICB - DEPARTAMENTO DE BIOLOGIA GERALPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Ecologia, Conservacao e Manejo da Vida SilvestreUFMG, 2020-04-29)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are central in the Climate Crisis (CC) phenomenon, whose consequences indiscriminately affect natural and anthropogenic ecosystems. Among ecological interactions, plant-insect is one of the ...

(Elsevier, 2019-02)
Insect outbreaks are among the most important biotic disturbances in forest ecosystems and can exert immense economic and ecological impacts. Understanding the spatio-temporal patterns of eruptive insects can provide ...
Spatial pattern of attacks of the invasive woodwasp Sirex noctilio, at landscape and Stand Scale
(2015-05-18)
Invasive insect pests are responsible for important damage to native and plantation forests, when population outbreaks occur. Understanding the spatial pattern of attacks by forest pest populations is essential to improve ...
