“…quadrisignatus to rapidly respond to wine and vinegar seems promising in using bottle traps for their capture; furthermore, given the similar ecological niche that these have with most of the others invasive species, we may expect a similar attraction efficiency by both attractants. In addition to direct damage to crops, Nitidulidae can be vectors of important pathogenic fungi such as Ophiostomatales [ 49 ] and Microascales [ 50 ]; consequently, their early detection may have a relevant role as phytosanitary security. The substantial effect given by the forest type in the capture efficiency of E .…”

Detecting and monitoring exotic and invasive Coleoptera is a complex activity to implement, and citizen science projects can provide significant contributions to such plans. Bottle traps are successfully used in wildlife surveys and can also be adapted for monitoring alien species; however, a sustainable, large scale trapping plan must take into account the collateral catches of native species and thus minimize its impact on local fauna. In the present paper, we tested the use of bottles baited with standard food products that can be purchased in every supermarket and immediately used (apple cider vinegar, red wine, and 80% ethyl alcohol) in capturing exotic and invasive beetles in the area surrounding Malpensa Airport (Italy). In particular, we reduced the exposition type of the traps in each sampling round to three days in order to minimize native species collecting. We found a significant effect of the environmental covariates (trap placement, temperature, humidity, and forest type) in affecting the efficiency in catching target beetles. Nearly all invasive Nitidulidae and Scarabaeidae known to be present in the area were captured in the traps, with apple cider vinegar usually being the most effective attractant, especially for the invasive Popillia japonica.

Fungal pathogens associated with bark beetles constitute one of the most significant problems to forest health. The Turkish pine (Pinus brutia Ten.) is a native species in the forests of Türkiye and occurs in the Mediterranean-type climate. The Southern Marmara is a natural occurrence area of Turkish pine in the Marmara Region. In the present study, trap logs were set up in pure Pinus brutia forests to investigate fungi associated with Orthotomicus erosus (Wollaston) (Mediterranean pine beetle) throughout Southern Marmara. Orthotomicus erosus adults, larvae, and their galleries were sampled and individually cultured on a 1% CSMA (cycloheximide–streptomycin malt agar) medium. Three ophiostomatoid fungi were identified using morphological characteristics and molecular genetic analyses: Ceratocystis (syn. Ophiostoma) ips (Rumbold) C. Moreau, Graphilbum sp. H.P. Upadhyay & W.B. Kendr., and Leptographium wingfieldii M. Morelet. All three species were new in records of the fungal flora of Türkiye. The most dominant of these species, Ceratocystis ips was isolated 69%. Unexpectedly, L. wingfieldii had a high-frequency association with O. erosus (27%). The pathogenicity tests showed that all three species could cause lesions on branches of Turkish pine but were non-pathogenic or weak pathogenic.

“…Graphilbum roseum, provisionally called G. roseus in Musvuugwa (2014), was also isolated from various mite species associated with wounds on the host trees, suggesting that they may be intimately involved in the ecology of this fungus (Musvuugwa 2014;Musvuugwa et al 2016b).…”

“…Very little is known about ophiostomatoid fungi associating with forest trees other than R. melanophloeos (Musvuugwa et al 2016a). During surveys of fungi associated with wounds on other forest trees (Musvuugwa 2014;Musvuugwa et al 2016b), three possibly new and undescribed ophiostomatoid taxa were collected. The present study sets out to evaluate the identity of these taxa based on morphological and molecular phylogenetic comparisons.…”

Ophiostomatoid fungi, a well-known, tree-associated group, includes some of the most important forest pathogens globally. Several ophiostomatoid species were reported already from Rapanea melanophloeos of the Afromontane forests from the Cape Floristic Region (CFR) of South Africa. The aim of this study was to investigate the diversity of ophiostomatoid fungi associated with wounds on other Afromontane forest tree species in the CFR. Storm-damaged trees were surveyed and fungi were isolated from bark and wood samples. Two undescribed ophiostomatoid species were identified based on micro-morphological characters and phylogenetic analyses. They are newly described here as Graphilbum roseum and Sporothrix oleae. A third taxon in the genus Graphium may also represent an undescribed species, but additional data is required to support this hypothesis. Sporothrix oleae, a species that groups within the S. candida species complex, was associated with Olea capensis. Graphilbum roseum was isolated from several host tree species including Curtisia dentata, Halleria lucida and Pterocelastrus tricuspidatus, while the Graphium species was isolated from Ilex mitis.
