Abstract Widespread mortality of native North American ash caused by emerald ash borer (EAB; Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire) threatens native arthropod biodiversity, but hybrid ash populations with resistance to EAB may serve a role in supporting threatened communities of arthropods in managed landscapes impacted by EAB.

Invasion disharmony in the global biogeography of native and non‐native beetle species
Abstract Aim The concept of “island disharmony” has been widely applied to describe the systematic over‐ and under‐representation of taxa on islands compared to mainland regions. Here, we explore an extension of that concept to biological invasions. We compare biogeographical patterns in native and non‐native beetle (Coleoptera) assemblages from around

The first dated phylogeny of the weevil subfamily Cryptorhynchinae is presented within a framework of Curculionoidea. Cryptorhynchinae originated c. 86 Ma in South America. Dispersal via Antarctica may have facilitated colonization of Australia in the Late Cretaceous, where a diverse Indo‐Australian clade emerged c. 73 Ma.
