“…The average number of eggs deposited by a single female is approximately 70 (Rutledge and Keena, 2012), with a minimum of approximately 30 (Anulewicz et al, 2008) and a maximum of 200 (Rutledge and Keena, 2012). To study the full scope of the invasion and to avoid introducing any bias in parameter estimates, we take the interval range of r to be (30, 200) and the point estimate to be the observed mean value r = 70.…”

In this dissertation, we study integrodifference equations in patchy landscapes. Specifically, we provide a framework for linking individual dispersal behavior with populationlevel dynamics in patchy landscapes by integrating recent advances in modeling dispersal into an integrodifference equation.First, we formulate a random-walk model in a patchy landscape with patchdependent diffusion, settling, and mortality rates. We incorporate mechanisms for individual behavior at an interface which, in general, results in the probability-density function of the random walker being discontinuous at an interface. We show that the dispersal kernel can be characterized as the Green's function of a second-order differential operator and illustrate the kind of (discontinuous) dispersal kernels that arise from our approach. We examine the dependence of obtained kernels on model parameters.Secondly, we analyze integrodifference equations in patchy landscapes equipped with discontinuous kernels. We obtain explicit formulae for the critical-domain-size problem, as well as explicit formulae for the analogous critical size of good patches on an infinite, periodic, patchy landscape. We examine the dependence of obtained formulae on individual behavior at an interface. Through numerical simulations, we observe that, if the population can persist on an infinite, periodic, patchy landscape, its spatial profile can evolve into a discontinuous traveling periodic wave. We derive a dispersion relation for the speed of the wave and illustrate how interface behavior ii

Abstract:The objectives of this review paper are to provide an overview of issues related to forest health and forest entomology, explain existing methods for forest insect pest detection, and provide background information on a case study of emerald ash borer. Early detection of potentially invasive insect species is a key aspect of preventing these species from causing damage. Invasion management efforts are typically more feasible and efficient if they are applied as early as possible. Two proposed approaches for detection are highlighted and include dendroentomology and near infrared spectroscopy (NIR). Dendroentomology utilizes tree ring principles to identify the years of outbreak and the dynamics of past insect herbivory on trees. NIR has been successfully used for assessing various forest health concerns (primarily hyperspectral imaging) and decay in trees. Emerald ash borer (EAB) (Agrilus planipennis), is a non-native beetle responsible for widespread mortality of several North American ash species (Fraxinus sp.). Current non-destructive methods for early detection of EAB in specific trees are limited, which restricts the effectiveness of management efforts. Ongoing research efforts are focused on developing methods for early detection of emerald ash borer.

This document presents the scientific opinion of the Panel on Plant Health on the technical file submitted by the US Authorities to support a request to list a new option among the EU import requirements for wood of Agrilus planipennis host plants. The option under consideration is a heat treatment at 60 °C for 60 min to eliminate possible infestations of the wood by the emerald ash borer (EAB). The experiments leading the US Authorities to propose this option are presented in a scientific peer reviewed publication, . The analysis of the aggregated data published by and based on a Probit regression model showed that the proposed treatment cannot guarantee a control level of 99 % or higher. The analysis of the individual data either from the original measurements or from a corrected dataset, using a Probit regression model, showed that it is likely to observe one live EAB out of an infestation of 100 after the proposed heat treatment of 60 °C/60 min. To ensure a control level of 99 % the temperature of the heat treatment of 60 min should be higher than 70 °C. Results obtained with a Poisson log linear model based on individual data showed that the estimated probability that one insect or more per m 2 survive the proposed heat treatment was higher than 0.6 and that there is a 0.1 probability that three insects or more per m 2 survive the proposed heat treatment. Based on these results, the Panel concludes that A. planipennis is likely to survive the proposed heat treatment of 60 °C/60 min with a low uncertainty, and that the alternative option proposed in the technical file submitted by the US Authorities for wood does not guarantee the wood to be free of A. planipennis. During the critical review of the different datasets provided by the US Authorities, the Panel found important inconsistencies. Therefore, in order to reduce uncertainties on the results of the analyses, four datasets were considered to explore the dependence of the model outcome on the possible input datasets.The analysis of the aggregated data used by Myers et al. (2009) based on a Probit regression model showed that the proposed heat treatment of 60 °C/60 min cannot guarantee a control level of 99 % or higher. The analysis of the individual data using a Probit regression model showed that it is likely to observe one surviving emerald ash borer out of an infestation of 100 after the proposed heat treatment of 60 °C/60 min. To ensure a control level of 99 % the temperature of the heat treatment of 60 min should be higher than 70 °C. Results obtained with the Poisson log linear model showed that the estimated probability that one insect or more per m 2 survive the proposed heat treatment was higher than 0.6 and that there is a 0.1 probability that three insects or more per m 2 survive the proposed heat treatment.The rate of survival of EAB prepupae after heat treatment documented in the additional published studies that were examined, suggests that individuals may survive after exposure to 55 ºC for 120 min, to 56 ºC for 60 min and to 60 ...
