“…This is equally true for Acacia spp. as it is for other trees widely planted in the tropics and Southern Hemisphere such as Eucalyptus , Pinus and Populus (Burgess & Wingfield, 2016; Hurley et al., 2023; Roux & Wingfield, 2009; Wingfield et al., 2011). Broadly, the situation in all cases is that diseases as well as insect pests are some of the most economically important factors threatening the long‐term sustainability of plantation forestry utilizing non‐native tree species internationally (Healy et al., 2022; Payn et al., 2015; Wingfield et al., 2015).…”

“…Passalora perplexa ) (Beilharz et al., 2004). These trees can also be infected by Ceratocystis manginecans that has devastated plantations of A. mangium in Southeast Asia (Hurley et al., 2023; Tarigan et al., 2011, b; Wingfield et al., 2023), although they have substantially lower levels of susceptibility to that pathogen (Barnes et al., 2023; Tarigan, Roux, et al., 2011). Most recently, it has been recognized that these trees, particularly where they are under stress, can be severely infested and damaged by the wood‐boring ambrosia beetle Euwallacea perbrevis (Lynn et al., 2020, 2021).…”

Acacia crassicarpa is a tropical tree species native to Australia, West Papua and Papua New Guinea, which has been widely used to establish plantations in the lowland humid tropics of Sumatra and Kalimantan. These trees, able to grow on sites having relatively poor nutrition, have been relatively free of serious disease problems. A rust disease infecting the phyllodes of A. crassicarpa has recently been encountered in plantations in various areas of Indonesia and Malaysia where they are not native. In this study, the rust was collected and identified as Endoraecium violae‐faustiae using DNA sequence analysis based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the rDNA. This is the first record of the rust outside its native range. Damage at present appears to be relatively mild but the pathogen could become important in the future.

Invasions by nonnative insect species can massively disrupt ecological processes, often leading to serious economic impacts. Previous work has identified propagule pressure as important driver of the trend of increasing numbers of insect invasions worldwide. In the present article, we propose an alternative hypothesis—that insect invasions are being driven by the proliferation of nonnative plants, which create niches for insect specialists and facilitate their establishment outside their native ranges where their hosts are planted or are invasive. We synthesize mechanisms by which plant invasions facilitate insect invasions, macroecological patterns supporting the tight link between plant and insect invasions, and case studies of plant invasions having facilitated subsequent insect establishment. This body of evidence indicates that plant invasions are a major driver of insect invasions. Consequently, the benefits of limiting the spread of nonnative plants include averting the proliferation of nonnative insects and their spillover onto native plant species.
