Effect of laurel wilt invasion on redbay populations in a maritime forest community [PDF]

Biological Invasions, 2013
Invasive insects and fungal pathogens have triggered numerous declines in ecologically important tree species in the forests of eastern North America. Although now functionally extinct in many ecosystems, these tree species have been able to persist through sprouting or the presence of a low density of resistant individuals.

Harringtonia lauricola Spread in Sassafras Root Systems in the Absence of Its Vector, the Redbay Ambrosia Beetle (Xyleborus glabratus)

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Laurel wilt is a vascular disease caused by a non‐native pathogen (Harringtonia lauricola) and an associated beetle vector (redbay ambrosia beetle; RAB; Xyleborus glabratus) affecting several members of the Lauraceae family in North America, including the ecologically and culturally important sassafras (Sassafras albidum).

Temporal associations between ambrosia beetles and ʻōhiʻa (Metrosideros polymorpha) artificially inoculated with Ceratocystis lukuohia

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 49-60, February 2026.
Abstract Wood boring ambrosia beetles play a central role in the spread of Ceratocystis wilt of ‘ōhi‘a, a fungal disease caused by Ceratocystis lukuohia that kills the bioculturally important ‘ōhiʻa (Metrosideros polymorpha) tree. Beetles contribute to the spread of the disease by extruding fungus‐infected wood particles (frass). Disease mitigation can

Infection Models for Pine Wilt Disease on the Basis of Vector Behaviors

Population Ecology, Volume 68, Issue 1, January 2026.
Infection models for pine wilt disease without vector density were built to estimate the transmission coefficient of the pathogenic nematode. The models successfully simulated the annual change in the density of infected trees for four pine stands. ABSTRACT Pine wilt disease is caused by the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Steiner et ...
