Case study of a new method for the classification and analysis of Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu damage to young chestnut sprouts

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2012
Dryocosmus kuriphilus is a new chestnut pest that is causing a serious problem worldwide. This gall wasp causes severe infestations of Italian Castanea sativa stands, which lowers their productivity.

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.

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, Volume 150, Issue 8, Page 1035-1046, September 2026.
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 ...

More diverse temperate forests are more resistant against non‐native insect herbivores

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Promoting mixed forests could be an effective strategy to attenuate the impact of invasion by non‐native forest pests. Abstract In general, trees suffer less damage by insect herbivores when growing in forest mixtures than in tree monocultures. Yet, most current knowledge is based on responses of native herbivores to tree diversity.

Diversity and surge in abundance of native parasitoid communities prior to the onset of Torymus sinensis on the Asian chestnut gall wasp (Dryocosmus kuriphilus) in Slovenia, Croatia and Hungary

Journal of Forest Research, 2020
Since the rapid spread of the Asian chestnut gall wasp (ACGW) throughout south-east Europe in the last few years, the possibilities of its control have been increasingly investigated. Due to constraints in available suppression measures in forest stands,

The FORGENIUS Genomic Resources: New Genotyping Tools and Genomic Data for 23 Forest Tree Species and Their Genetic Conservation Units

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Genetic diversity is a critical but often overlooked component of biological diversity. The European H2020 FORGENIUS project is aimed at increasing the quality and quantity of genetic data to start monitoring the European network of forest Genetic Conservation Units (GCUs).
