Native parasitoids recruitment as potential controllers of Dryocosmus kuriphilus (Hymenoptera; Cynipidae) in recently colonised areas [PDF]
Producción CientíficaIn this work, we investigate the native parasitoid community colonising galls by an invasive pest: the oriental chestnut gall wasp (OCGW), Dryocosmus kuriphilus (Hymenoptera; Cynipidae).

Testing ecological interactions between Gnomoniopsis castaneae and Dryocosmus kuriphilus [PDF]
Abstract An emerging nut rot of chestnut caused by the fungus Gnomoniopsis castaneae was reported soon after the invasion of the exotic gall wasp Dryocosmus kuriphilus in Italy. The goal of this work was to assess the association between the spread of the fungal pathogen and the infestation of the pest by testing if: I) viable inoculum of G ...

Tree Diversity Limits the Impact of an Invasive Forest Pest. [PDF]
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 ...
