How Accurately Do Species Distribution Models Predict the Expansion of Invasive Insects, and Does Climate Data Choice Matter? Insights From the Invasion of Dryocosmus kuriphilus

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to predict the spread of invasive species, yet their accuracy over time and the influence of climate data resolution remain unclear. Here, we examine the capacity of SDMs to predict the distribution and short‐term expansion of the invasive gall wasp Dryocosmus kuriphilus, and compare the ...

Assessing the success of a horizon scanning approach in predicting invasive non‐native species arrival

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
We conclude that horizon scanning provides a rapid, affordable and successful mechanism to predict the arrival of high‐risk INNS. We highlight the importance of citizen science, including biological recording, and of local expertise for detecting and documenting arrival of INNS.

Unlocking agro‐ecosystem sustainability: exploring the bottom‐up effects of microbes, plants, and insect herbivores

Integrative Zoology, Volume 20, Issue 3, Page 465-484, May 2025.
Microorganism‐released metabolites, proteins, or toxins modulate plant‐based targets to regulate physiological processes such as phytohormone and nutrition balance and stress resistance. Microbes that affect plant physiological processes regulate the visual, olfactory, and gustatory cues associated with plants to attract or repel insect herbivores and ...

Network structure and taxonomic composition of tritrophic communities of Fagaceae, cynipid gallwasps and parasitoids in Sichuan, China 中国四川的壳斗科、瘿蜂、和寄生蜂之三級营养生物群落的结构和组成

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 1046-1071, November 2024.
We quantified previously unstudied tritrophic gall communities on Fagaceae in Sichuan, China, testing for ‘bottom‐up’ effects of host plant diversity on plant–herbivore and plant–parasitoid interactions. We sampled 176 cynipid gall morphotypes from 23 host plant species, yielding 64 parasitoid morphospecies.

Control potentials of some entomopathogenic nematodes against Asian chestnut gall wasp, Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu, 1951 (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae)

Turkish Journal of Entomology, 2020
The Asian chestnut gall wasp, Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu, 1951 (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae), has spread rapidly worldwide and can cause 80% product loss in chestnut. In the chemical control insecticides are ineffective because the larvae of the insect are well protected inside the chestnut galls. Various parasitoids of D.
