“…In Asso, mortality was measured in the wild and only during the hibernation period, whereas in other experiments the pre-winter mortality was included, and the insects were reared in containers, thus protected from natural enemies (from Musolin, 2012). The eucalyptus longhorned borer is a highly invasive beetle that infests eucalyptus both within its native Australian range and in timber plantations in South Africa, the Americas and the Mediterranean, where it has been introduced via global trade (Ali & Garcia, 1988;Belal et al, 2017;Day, 1959;Seaton, 2012;Zhao et al, 2023). Heavy larval infestations can rapidly cause tree death (Hanks et al, 1993;Zhao et al, 2023).…”

Climate change is widely recognized as a critical global challenge with far‐reaching consequences. It affects pest species by altering their population dynamics, actual and potential distribution areas, as well as interactions with their hosts and natural enemies. Climate change thus has potentially important implications for multiple areas of the pest risk analysis (PRA) process. The importance of including climate change in PRA may vary depending on the climatic context of the PRA area in relation to the speed of climate change. If climatic changes within the time horizon of interest are minimal, their potential impact on pest risk is reduced accordingly. For PRAs in a changing climate, we need to be concerned with how future climates could alter our assessment of the risks currently posed by each pest species. While climate can influence the distribution and abundance of pests and hosts alike, its significance will vary depending on the situation. The inclusion of climate change within a PRA also presents challenges. The dynamic nature of climate change, with its complex interactions and uncertainties, can make it difficult to predict and assess the future risks posed by pests accurately. Uncertainties related to future predictions may be much greater than the potential effects associated with climate change and species’ responses to it. This paper outlines examples of the effects of climate change on hosts and different groups of pests, including invertebrates, pathogens, weeds and vector species. The aim is to review the opportunities and challenges of incorporating climate change into PRA, offering insights for a variety of stakeholders including policymakers on this topic.

“…In addition, adults feed on the outer bark of twigs, not deep inside the wood where imidacloprid occurs, and imidacloprid does not spread evenly within the tree (Poland et al 2001. Systemic insecticides are also expensive to apply (Ali and Garcia 1988), potentially harmful to nontarget organisms (James and Vogele 2001), and may not constitute a long-term solution. Biological control, therefore, provides a viable alternative for controlling A. glabripennis.…”
