Genomic Signals of Adaptation towards Mutualism and Sociality in Two Ambrosia Beetle Complexes

Life, 2018
Mutualistic symbiosis and eusociality have developed through gradual evolutionary processes at different times in specific lineages. Like some species of termites and ants, ambrosia beetles have independently evolved a mutualistic nutritional symbiosis ...

First Report of Laurel Wilt Disease Caused by Raffaelea lauricola on Pondspice in Florida

Plant Disease, 2011
Laurel wilt is a fungal vascular disease of redbay (Persea borbonia (L.) Spreng) and other plants in the family Lauraceae in the southeastern United States (1). The disease is caused by Raffaelea lauricola T. C. Harr., Fraedrich & Aghayeva, which is vectored by the exotic redbay ambrosia beetle (Xyleborus glabratus Eichhoff) (2). Pondspice (Litsea

2017 Frank Meyer Medal for Plant Genetic Resources Lecture: Stewards of Our Agricultural Future

Crop Science, Volume 58, Issue 6, Page 2233-2240, November–December 2018., 2018
Humanity's survival depends on crops—the green line standing between us and calamity. To meet ever expanding human needs, crops must become increasingly more productive, mainly through genetic gains that exploit diverse plant genetic resources (PGR), the raw materials for crop breeding. For millennia, PGR have been conserved by individuals, communities,

INVASIVE NON‐NATIVE SPECIES AND WILD TURKEY IN THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 2015, Issue S1, Page 89-103, January 2015., 2015
Abstract: Many non‐native, invasive species that have become established within the southeastern United States have potential to affect wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo; hereafter, turkeys) or their habitat. Invasive species that may impact turkeys include plant and bird pathogens, insects, plants, and vertebrate animals. Although limited research has

First Report of Laurel Wilt Disease Caused by Raffaelea lauricola on Silk Bay in Florida

Plant Disease, 2012
Silk bay (Persea humilis Nash) is a member of the Lauraceae precinctive to the scrub forests of central and southern Florida and a sister species to the primary laurel wilt host, redbay (P. borbonia (L.) Spreng), which is generally not found in these ecosystems. In November 2011, observations of silk bay mortality near Lake Placid in Highlands County,

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 ...

Historical land use couples with host density to affect myrtle rust impacts in a wet sclerophyll forest community in Eastern Australia

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.
Plant pathogens worldwide continue to spread outside of their native ranges into new habitats. Our results highlight the importance of investigating variable processes like land use legacy that can correlate with impacts of non‐native plant pathogens.

First Occurrence of Laurel Wilt Disease Caused by Raffaelea lauricola on Redbay Trees in Mississippi

Plant Disease, 2010
Laurel wilt is a lethal, nonnative vascular wilt disease of redbay (Persea borbonia), sassafras (Sassafras albidum), and other trees in the Lauraceae (1,4). It is caused by a fungus (Raffaelea lauricola) and transmitted by the redbay ambrosia beetle (Xyleborus glabratus), a nonnative insect first detected in Georgia in 2002 (1,2).

Utility of essential oils for development of host-based lures for Xyleborus glabratus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), vector of laurel wilt

Open Chemistry, 2018
Redbay ambrosia beetle, Xyleborus glabratus, is native to Southeast Asia, but subsequent to introduction in Georgia in 2002, it has become a serious invasive pest in the USA, now established in nine southeastern states. Females vector Raffaelea lauricola,
