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.

Gnomoniopsis castaneae associated with Dryocosmus kuriphilus galls in chestnut stands in Sardinia (Italy)

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2017
Invasive fungal pathogens and pests of sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) forests drastically reduce their productivity. The recently described Gnomoniopsis castaneae is one of the main agents involved in the epidemic of brown rot of chestnut nuts ...

Development of a LAMP protocol to identify the parasitoid Carcelia iliaca from oak processionary moth (Thaumetopoea processioneae) larval tissue to understand and enhance biocontrol management plans

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 124-135, February 2025.
Abstract Oak processionary moth (Thaumetopoea processionea) (OPM) Linnaeus, 1758 (Lepidoptera: Notodontidae) is a serious forestry pest and risk to public health in the UK. The economic and environmental cost of chemical pesticides in managing OPM has driven the need for sustainable, strategies which fit into integrated pest management frameworks ...

Population Dynamics of Native Parasitoids Associated with the Asian Chestnut Gall Wasp (Dryocosmus kuriphilus) in Italy

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2018
Native parasitoids may play an important role in biological control. They may either support or hinder the effectiveness of introduced nonnative parasitoids released for pest control purposes.

Assessing the susceptibility levels of chestnut cultivars/genotypes to Asian chestnut gall wasp (Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu)

Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca, 2023
The Asian chestnut gall wasp Dryocosmus kuriphilus is a major insect pest affecting chestnut trees worldwide. Due to the galls that it creates on shoots and leaves, this pest prevents shoot development and blooming and decreases the fruit yield.

Native Parasitoids Recruitment as Potential Controllers of Dryocosmus kuriphilus (Hymenoptera; Cynipidae) in Recently Colonised Areas

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 1, Page 88-99, February 2025.
ABSTRACT In this work, we investigate the native parasitoid community colonising galls by an invasive pest: the oriental chestnut gall wasp (OCGW), Dryocosmus kuriphilus (Hymenoptera; Cynipidae). We tried to understand how native parasitoids react after the arrival of the pest (two‐year sampling period) in the province of Zamora (Castilla & León region,

Interactions between invasive pests and pathogens in a native chestnut forest [PDF]

NeoBiota
The introduction in the same area of different invasive species can result in novel interactions, with unpredictable consequences. We carried out a study in Galicia (northwestern Iberian Peninsula) with the aim of clarifying the interactions between two ...
