ABSTRACT Flatheaded borers (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) are largely xylophagous insects. Larvae of flatheaded borers tunnel into the trunks of trees, with boring and feeding damage eventually appearing on the surface as discolored bark, sunken areas, bark splits or bark sloughing.

Emerald Ash Borer (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) Attraction to Stressed or Baited Ash Trees [PDF]
Emerald ash borer, Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), has killed millions of ash (Fraxinus sp.) trees in North America since its discovery in Michigan in 2002. Efficient methods to detect low-density A. planipennis populations remain a critical priority for regulatory and resource management agencies.

Abstract Urban tree canopy is known to mitigate ambient heat and improve physical and mental health but the longitudinal interactions and impacts of tree canopy, temperature, and mortality are not well understood. Using high resolution tree canopy estimates, temperature, mortality, and demographic data from 2011 to 2021, we implemented negative ...

Catalytic Hydropyrolysis of Beetle Killed Trees for the Production of Transportation Biofuels
Catalytic hydropyrolysis of beetle‐killed pine, ash, and redbay demonstrated that temperature, catalyst loading, and catalyst acidity strongly influence hydrocarbon yields, while response surface methodology (RSM) identified optimal operating conditions for maximizing overall product yield.

Positive association between emerald ash borer residence time and accumulation of invasive plants
Invasive forest pests can affect the composition and physical structure of forest canopies that may facilitate invasion by non‐native plants. However, it remains unclear whether this process is generalizable across invasive plant species at broad spatial

Beijing’s One Million Mu Plain Afforestation Project involves planting large areas with the exotic North American tree species Fraxinus pennsylvanica Marsh (ash). As an exotic tree species, ash is very vulnerable to infestations by the emerald ash borer (

Emerald Ash Borer Specific Gene Silencing Has No Effect on Non-target Organisms
The sequence complementarity of the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway allows for targeted suppression of genes essential for insect survival, and enables development of pest management strategies specific to a given species while reducing the likelihood of
