Gnomoniopsis castaneae: An emerging plant pathogen and global threat to chestnut systems
Plant Pathology, Volume 72, Issue 2, Page 218-231, February 2023., 2023 The recent discovery of Gnomoniopsis castaneae in the United States brings a new urgency to the need to understand the full range and epidemiology and to examine potential methods of detection and mitigation. Abstract Gnomoniopsis castaneae is an important, destructive pathogen of Castanea species, initially identified as the primary agent of nut rot ...

Host Gall Size and Temperature Influence Voltinism in an Exotic Parasitoid
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Insect phenology is highly temperature-dependent. Higher temperatures can lead to earlier emergence and lengthening of the active period, which enable many insect groups to complete more generations.

Evolution, Volume 76, Issue 8, Page 1849-1867, August 2022., 2022 Abstract Quantifying the frequency of shifts to new host plants within diverse clades of specialist herbivorous insects is critically important to understand whether and how host shifts contribute to the origin of species. Oak gall wasps (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae: Cynipini) comprise a tribe of ∼1000 species of phytophagous insects that induce gall ...

Rapid on-site identification of the biocontrol agent of the Asian chestnut gall wasp [PDF]
Biocontrol Science and Technology, 2016 In classical biocontrol programmes, a rapid and correct identification of the introduced antagonist is a key issue during both the release and establishment monitoring phases. It is often difficult to distinguish morphologically cryptic species or immature stages. An accurate diagnosis can now be provided by molecular diagnostic methods.

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Andricus dentimitratus (Rejtõ, 1887) and Andricus pictus (Hartig, 1856) are two European gall wasps (Hymenoptera, Cynipidae) that induce galls on species of Quercus. The distribution and ecological niches of these species have not been studied in detail, though they are known to have a different distribution pattern in the Iberian Peninsula in Europe ...

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,
