The Redbay Ambrosia Beetle and Laurel Wilt
EDISThe redbay ambrosia beetle, harmless in its native Asia, has become a formidable pest since its introduction to the United States in 2002. The beetle spreads the fungus Harringtonia lauricola, a lethal pathogen of North American Lauraceae trees ...

Drivers of invasion by laurel wilt of redbay and sassafras in the southeastern US. [PDF]
Landsc Ecol, 2023 Timely responses to mitigate economic and environmental impacts from invading species are facilitated by knowledge of the speed and drivers of invasions.Quantify changes in invasion patterns through time and factors that governed time-to-invasion by laurel wilt, one of the most damaging, non-native disturbance agents invading forests of the United ...

Raffaelea lauricola (laurel wilt). [PDF]
Plant Disease, 2021 Abstract Laurel wilt is responsible for the death of hundreds of millions of redbay (Persea borbonia sensu lato) trees throughout the southeastern USA, and the disease is also having significant effects on other species such as sassafras (Sassafras albidum) in natural ecosystems and avocado (Persea americana) in commercial production areas of ...

Warm temperatures and host tree abundance explain variation in directional spread by laurel wilt. [PDF]
Biol Invasions, 2023 The rate at which invading organisms disperse into novel habitats is fundamental to their distribution and abundance. Forecasts of spread often assume that invasion speed is constant through time and among directions but, depending on the extent to which this assumption is violated, the efficacy of delimitation surveys and eradication programs could ...

Characterization of Terpenoids from the Ambrosia Beetle Symbiont and Laurel Wilt Pathogen Harringtonia lauricola. [PDF]
J Fungi (Basel), 2023 Little is known concerning terpenoids produced by members of the fungal order Ophiostomales, with the member Harringtonia lauricola having the unique lifestyle of being a beetle symbiont but potentially devastating tree pathogen. Nine known terpenoids, including six labdane diterpenoids (1–6) and three hopane triterpenes (7–9), were isolated from H ...

California Laurel Is Susceptible to Laurel Wilt Caused by Raffaelea lauricola [PDF]
Plant Disease, 2008 Extensive mortality of redbay (Persea borbonia (L.) Spreng.) has been observed in the southeastern United States since 2003. The mortality is due to laurel wilt caused by Raffaelea lauricola T. C. Harr., Fraedrich & Aghayeva, a fungal symbiont of the recently introduced redbay ambrosia beetle (RAB), Xyleborus glabratus Eichhoff (1,2).

Long-term demography and spatial genetic structure reveal mechanisms of Sassafras albidum population persistence through clonality. [PDF]
Am J BotAbstract Premise Vegetative regeneration is a key mechanism of woody plant persistence in forest ecosystems, and the coupled roles of basal sprouting and clonal growth in shaping long‐term population dynamics have been understudied. Basal sprouting replaces stems at fixed ramet locations, whereas clonal growth via root suckering produces spatially ...
