Local spread of an exotic invader: using remote sensing and spatial analysis to document proliferation of the invasive Asian chestnut gall wasp [PDF]
iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2012 Remote sensing and spatial analysis represent useful tools for modeling species’ dispersal, characterizing the spread of invasions and the invasability of a region, and thus allowing more accurate predictions for developing mitigation strategies ...

Tree Diversity Limits the Impact of an Invasive Forest Pest. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 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 hypothesis" the amount and accessibility of host plants is reduced in diverse ...

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022 Plants draw from various genetically controlled defenses to protect against herbivores and pathogens. The efficacy of alternative defenses can vary with the biology and phylogeny of the enemy. Dryocosmus kuriphilus, an invasive gall maker native to China,

Biological Control, 2018 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 exotic pest, the Chinese parasitoid Torymus sinensis Kamijo was released into Japan and Europe resulting in a successful control of the invader.

Pathogen-induced expression of a blight tolerance transgene in American chestnut. [PDF]
Mol Plant Pathol, 2022 In transgenic Castanea dentata, a promoter from Populus deltoides is strongly induced by Cryphonectria parasitica infection and effectively drives expression of the chestnut blight tolerance gene oxalate oxidase (OxO). Abstract American chestnut (Castanea dentata) is a susceptible host of the invasive necrotrophic fungus Cryphonectria parasitica, which
