The impacts of biological invasions
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

Integrating landscape ecology into generic surveillance plans for bark‐ and wood‐boring beetles
Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 2, March 2026.Abstract International trade poses a growing threat to global biosecurity, with bark‐ and wood‐boring beetles representing a major concern for forest health. Non‐native species are frequently introduced at points of entry, where populations can establish in the surrounding landscape.

Sound production in bark and ambrosia beetles [PDF]
Bioacoustics, 2019 Bark and ambrosia beetles and pinhole borers (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae and Platypodinae) are two subfamilies of weevils that use acoustic communication within plant tissue. These insects transmit and detect sound in a medium that is neither air nor water and they are among the smallest animals with sound-producing organs.

Does biotic resistance govern forest invasions by bark and ambrosia beetles?
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.The theory of biotic resistance states that community diversity promotes resistance to biological invasions. This theory has been widely explored for its ability to explain variation in habitat invasibility to non‐native plant species and while the theory holds in some systems, it does not in others.

Bark Beetle (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) Community Structure in Northeastern and Central Minnesota [PDF]
, 2018 Large-scale surveys of forest insects provide two distinct benefits: the detection of invasive and exotic species that cause millions of dollars of damage annually to forest and ornamental industries, and the addition of a wealth of species distribution ...

Phylogeny of ambrosia beetle symbionts in the genus Raffaelea [PDF]
Fungal Biology, 2014 The genus Raffaelea was established in 1965 when the type species, Raffaelea ambrosia, a symbiont of Platypus ambrosia beetles was described. Since then, many additional ambrosia beetle symbionts have been added to the genus, including the important tree pathogens Raffaelea quercivora, Raffaelea quercus-mongolicae, and Raffaelea lauricola, causal ...
