Adaptive capacity of Asian populations of Lymantria dispar to non preferred plants during northward expansion [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The spongy moth (Lymantria dispar) is one of the most widespread insect defoliators in the Holarctic, with a capacity to form regular large-scale outbreaks.

Rising temperatures may increase fungal epizootics in northern populations of the invasive spongy moth in North America [PDF]

NeoBiota
Insect pest species are generally expected to become more destructive with climate change because of factors such as weakened host tree defences during droughts and increased voltinism under rising temperatures; however, responses will vary by species ...

Virulence and genome analysis of baculovirus isolates from different Lymantria dispar populations [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The spongy moth Lymantria dispar L. is a major forest pest causing substantial economic damage in Holarctic region. Lymantria dispar multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus isolates (LdMNPVs) have demonstrated significant potential as biological control agents ...

Suitability of Three Trunk Traps for Capturing Larvae of Lymantria dispar (L.) (Lepidoptera, Erebidae) [PDF]

Insects
In this paper, we present the results of field investigations on the suitability of three types of trunk traps (‘Commercial 1’, ‘Commercial 2’, and ‘Prototype’) for capturing spongy moth (Lymantria dispar) larvae in two areas with different climates and ...

Biochemical Responses in Populus tremula: Defending against Sucking and Leaf-Chewing Insect Herbivores [PDF]

Plants
The main biochemical traits were estimated in poplar leaves under biotic attack (aphids and spongy moth infestation). Changes in the abundance of bioactive compounds in genetically uniform individuals of European aspen (Populus tremula), such as proline,

European Spongy moth (Lymantria dispar) (Lepidoptera) outbreaks in some regions of European Russia in 2023 [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
A study was conducted to investigate the distribution and significant increase in the abundance of Lymantria dispar within the forest-steppe zone of European Russia, encompassing the regions of Ryazan, Moscow, Vladimir, and Ulyanovsk.

Spongy moths from Europe and Asia: Who could have higher invasion risk in North American? [PDF]

PLoS One
North American forest systems are significantly impacted by spongy moths (Lymantria dispar Linnaeus). It is unclear, nevertheless, how are the invasion risks of spongy moths from Asia and Europe in North American relative to each other. In this study, we compared the potential ranges of spongy moths from Asia (ASM) and those from Europe (ESM) in North ...

Forest defoliation by an invasive outbreak insect: Catastrophic consequences for a charismatic mega moth [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Earth is now experiencing declines in insect abundance and diversity unparalleled in human history. The drivers underlying those declines are many, complex, and incompletely known.

Lethal effects of allyl isothiocyanate on the egg masses of flighted spongy moth complex Lymantria dispar japonica (Lepidoptera: Erebidae). [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Abstract BACKGROUND The flighted spongy moth complex (FSMC) lays egg masses not only on host plants but also various artificial structures, such as, cargo, vehicles, and ships. Thus, preventing the transmission of these egg masses is an international challenge. Their eggs

Genomics-based assessment of the geographic origin of spongy moths (Lymantria dispar) intercepted during vessel inspections, using SpongySeq, an amplicon sequencing panel [PDF]

BMC Genomics
Background Invasive alien species (IAS) are a major threat to native biodiversity, ecosystems services, economic stability and human well-being. The two spongy moths, Lymantria dispar asiatica and L.
