“…There is a pressing need in Europe to prepare for the potential invasion of the emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (Buprestidae, Coleoptera) from European Russia (Baranchikov, Mozolevskaya, Yurchenko, & Kenis, ) as it may significantly change the environment in urban areas, forests and other agroecosystems where ash stands occur (Straw, Williams, Kulinich, & Gninenko, ). There are similar risks presented by other jewel beetles (Buprestidae, Coleoptera), including the introduction of populations into areas where local host plants have no evolutionarily history of adaptation to the pest, or because of climatic changes in already inhabited areas.…”

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.

“…Genetic diversity is necessary if populations are to adapt on environmental changes such as new pests. In the case of F. excelsior, a particular future threat could be the emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis), a beetle which killed tens of millions of ash trees in North America (Poland and McCullough 2006) and is spreading westwards from the region of Moscow (Straw et al 2013). Thus, it is very important to identify ash individuals of low susceptibility and of different provenances to get a better knowledge of the fraction of trees which could be suitable for breeding programmes.…”

“…in urban areas in Moscow, Russia [80]. In forests south of Moscow, widespread trees of European ash (F. excelsior) have also been infested and suffer dieback although they seem to be less susceptible than North American species [81]. Research evaluating intraspecific resistance of the three European ash species to EAB is pressing since the beetle is most likely to spread in Europe [81].…”

The Natural Evolutionary Potential of Tree Populations to Cope with Newly Introduced Pests and Pathogens—Lessons Learned From Forest Health Catastrophes in Recent Decades

Emerging diseases often originate from host shifts of introduced pests or pathogens. Genetic resistance of the host to such diseases might be limited or absent due to the lack of coevolutionary history. We review six examples of major disease outbreaks on native tree species caused by different introduced pests and pathogens that led to large ecological and economical losses. In all six cases, high tree mortality was observed in natural populations with some surviving individuals exhibiting varying levels of genetic resistance. The abundance and distribution of resistant individuals and the heritability of resistance traits varies substantially among the cases. While chestnut blight wilt combined with ink disease has virtually eliminated mature Castanea dentata trees from North America, other severe emerging diseases, such as the ash dieback, have left many surviving trees and genetic variation in resistance to such diseases has been documented. We argue that the evolutionary potential of tree species to respond to new emerging diseases should not be underestimated. However, the risk of increased levels of inbreeding and loss of genetic diversity caused by low population sizes is a major concern. Maintenance of broad genetic diversity is an important issue in conservation and forestry management. We expect that future research targeting the genetic background of biotic resistance towards emerging diseases and the role of endophytic communities in protecting trees will facilitate the informed and science-based guidance required to manage and maintain forests with high resilience. International cooperation on limiting disease spread and the provision of early invasive pest or pathogen detection systems are essential.
