Forest Health Management and Detection of Invasive Forest Insects
The objectives of this review paper are to provide an overview of issues related to forest health and forest entomology, explain existing methods for forest insect pest detection, and provide background information on a case study of emerald ash borer. Early detection of potentially invasive insect species is a key aspect of preventing these species from causing damage. Invasion management effo...
متن کاملSymbionts of Invasive Insects: Characterization, Ecological Roles, and Relation to Invasive Potential and Management Strategies
Most, and perhaps all, multicellular organisms house symbiotic microorganisms. Recent research identified a number of ways in which symbionts are critical to the success of various insects, yet we know very little about the symbiotic associations of the major invasive species. The information we do have is largely limited to two specific types of relationships, insect vectors of plant pathogens...
متن کاملSolar activity explored with new wavelet methods
In order to improve the forecasts of the impact of solar activity on the terrestrial environment on time scales longer than days, improved understanding and forecasts of the solar activity are needed. The first results of a new approach of modelling and forecasting solar activity are presented. Time series of solar activity indicators, such as sunspot number, group sunspot number, F10.7, E10.7,...
متن کاملInvasive Insects Differ from Non-Invasive in Their Thermal Requirements
We tested whether two basic thermal requirements for insect development, lower developmental thresholds, i.e. temperatures at which development ceases, and sums of effective temperatures, i.e. numbers of day degrees above the lower developmental thresholds necessary to complete development, differ among insect species that proved to be successful invaders in regions outside their native range a...
متن کاملCorpse Management in Social Insects
Undertaking behavior is an essential adaptation to social life that is critical for colony hygiene in enclosed nests. Social insects dispose of dead individuals in various fashions to prevent further contact between corpses and living members in a colony. Focusing on three groups of eusocial insects (bees, ants, and termites) in two phylogenetically distant orders (Hymenoptera and Isoptera), we...
