“…In Western Russia, A. convexicollis has also been collected from EAB‐infested, declining green ash ( Fraxinus pennsylvanica L.) trees (Orlova‐Bienkowskaja, ; Orlova‐Bienkowskaja & Volkovitsh, ). As our results indicate that MULTz traps are suitable for trapping A. convexicollis, they may have a practical benefit in future monitoring surveys for this species, which is common in stressed but living hosts all over Europe (Muskovits & Hegyessy, ).…”

There is an urgent need in Europe to prepare resources for the arrival of the emerald ash borer, Agrilus planipennis (Buprestidae, Coleoptera) from European Russia, and possibly other invasive jewel beetles. A lightweight, easy to handle, non‐sticky trap could facilitate monitoring and detection to derive information about emerald ash borer and other jewel beetle populations. In two experiments carried out over two consecutive years in an oak forest, a new non‐sticky multi‐funnel trap design with a light‐green (sometimes described as fluorescent yellow) visual cue was developed. Altogether, there were 238 (2018) and 194 (2019) specimens captured often (2018) and eight (2019) Agrilus species, eight of which are oak‐related and one (A. convexicollis) was linked to ash. The new light‐green multi‐funnel trap performed similarly to the sticky design with a similar coloured surface. Our results suggest that the new trap design may be suitable for catching a wide range of buprestid species. It may also have the potential to be further optimized with respect to visual and olfactory cues, which would provide an even more useful tool for monitoring both invasive and indigenous buprestids.

“…The first parasitoid native to Europe was found only in 2013 by Orlova‐Bienkowskaja and Belokobylskij (): Spathius polonicus Niezabitowski (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Doryctinae) is an ectoparasitoid on EAB larvae with parasitism rates as high as 50% in European Russia (Orlova‐Bienkowskaja and Belokobylskij ; Orlova‐Bienkowskaja ).…”

“…Similar numbers of ash‐dependent species are to be expected in other parts of Europe. In European Russia, the establishment of EAB has resulted in a cascade of ecological effects, such as outbreaks of other xylophagous beetles on EAB‐infested trees (Orlova‐Bienkowskaja ).…”

“…In regions where EAB has built up high population densities, native parasitoids often have high parasitism rates. For instance, Atanycolus cappaerti showed high parasitism rates in North America, while Spathius polonicus did so in European Russia (Orlova‐Bienkowskaja and Belokobylskij ; Orlova‐Bienkowskaja ). However, high parasitism rates of Atanycolus cappaerti in North America only emerge after EAB has built up populations with high densities (Cappaert and McCullough ), and thus, it has limited impact on ash tree mortality which restricts its potential use as biocontrol agent.…”

In this publication, we review the biology, ecology, invasion history, impacts and management options of Emerald ash borer (EAB) Agrilus plannipennis, with a particular focus on its invasion in Europe. Agrilus planipennis (EAB) is a wood‐boring beetle native to East Asia. Having caused massive damages on ash species in North America in the last decades, it was first recorded in Europe in 2003 in Russia (Moscow). All ash (Fraxinus) species native to Europe and North America are known to be susceptible to EAB attacks, which cause high tree mortality even among formerly healthy trees. Recorded expansion rates are between 2.5 and 80 km/year in North America and between 13 and 41 km/year in European Russia. Given current expansion rates, EAB is expected to reach Central Europe within 15–20 years. A combination of mechanical, biological and chemical control and phytosanitary measures may reduce its impact, which nevertheless most likely will be substantial. There is an urgent need to identify native enemies in Europe, to test suitable biocontrol agents and to develop early detection and management measures. Although it is obvious that EAB will become a major pest in Europe, early and dedicated response will likely be able to reduce the level of ash mortality, and thus improve the opportunity for long‐term survival of ash as an important component in European forests.

“…The emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), is a forest pest that has spread rapidly and has caused large‐scale destruction within the naïve populations of ash ( Fraxinus spp., Oleaceae) that occur in North America and European Russia (Herms & McCullough, ; Orlova‐Bienkowskaja, ). This exotic buprestid was first discovered in North America in 2002 in southeastern Michigan, USA, and Windsor, Ontario, Canada (Haack et al., ), though it was likely introduced sometime in the 1990s (Siegert et al., ).…”

An artificial delay in emergence influences the number but not the fitness of adult emerald ash borer emerging from infested ash wood

Emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), is the most significant invasive forest pest in North America. Laboratory research on this species requires sources of adult and larval insects that are of the same fitness as those present in the wild. Production of adult EAB relies on flushing adults from logs which are subject to cold storage for some period prior to use. The effect of this storage on the number of insects emerging or the fitness of those that emerge has not been investigated. We subjected logs of EAB‐infested white ash, Fraxinus americana L. (Oleaceae), to 7–14 months of cold storage and quantified the number of insects that emerged, the time to emergence, and the body condition of adults as a measure of fitness. Body condition was evaluated using Soxhlet fat extraction and water weight. No published methods for Soxhlet fat extraction were available for this species so we developed extraction protocols. The number of insects emerging decreased with time, but fitness (i.e., fat and water content) did not decrease. Time to emergence did increase but only in the longest storage treatment, whereas a comparison of male vs. female emergence provides evidence for protandry in EAB. Rearing programs for EAB using wood from cold storage should adjust the amount used to produce a given number of insects but the quality of those individuals emerging will not be affected. We suggest that those insects that perished during storage were of lower quality when entering diapause and thus would serve as poor‐quality host in rearing programs for natural enemies of EAB. These data also provide evidence for one pathway of introduction for EAB, suggesting that refrigeration in transit was required for EAB to remain viable and establish its beachhead in North America.
