“…This species has been described by many authors starting with the original description reported by Blandford (1894) and a later description by Niisima (1909). More recent references regarding the morphological features of X. attenuatus have been provided by Rabaglia et al (2006), Hoebeke and Rabaglia (2007), Cognato (2008) and Rabaglia et al (2010). Xyleborinus attenuatus could be easily confused with the closely related species X. saxesenii.…”

“…In North America, Rabaglia et al (2006) listed only three species that belong to the genus Xyleborinus, including X. gracilis (Eichhoff 1868), X. alni (Niisima 1909) and X. saxesenii (Ratzeburg 1837). Of these, only X. gracilis is considered a native species to North and South America; X. alni and X. saxesenii were introduced into the Americas from Asia.…”

“…Xyleborinus saxesenii was first recorded in North America in 1915 (Haack 2001). Xyleborinus saxesenii is considered a transcontinental species (Rabaglia et al 2006) and is widely distributed in Europe (Kirkendall and Faccoli 2010;Knižek 2011). In Quebec, Canada, X. saxesenii was first recorded in 2003 by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency based on specimens recovered from hardwood (CFIA 2003).…”

Six species of the genus Xyleborinus (Reitter 1913) have been reported in North America. Five of these species were introduced, and one species is considered native to North and South America. Xyleborinus attenuatus (Blandford 1894), which was introduced into the Americas from Asia, was first recorded in 1995 in western Canada, in the province of British Columbia, and then in 2007 in the province of Nova Scotia, in eastern Canada. In Quebec, X. attenuatus was initially recorded in 2009 based on a single captured specimen. In this study, we present additional evidence of the presence of this alien ambrosia beetle in Quebec, Canada.Six espèces du genre Xyleborinus (Reitter 1913) ont été rapportées en Amérique du Nord. Cinq de ces espèces ont été introduites et une espèce est considérée indigène en Amérique du Nord et du Sud. Xyleborinus attenuatus (Blandford 1894), qui a été introduit en Amérique depuis l’Asie, a été rapporté pour la première fois en 1995 dans l’ouest du Canada, en Colombie-Britannique, puis en 2007 dans l’est du pays, en Nouvelle-Écosse. Au Québec, X. attenuatus a été rapporté en 2009 à la suite de la capture d’un seul spécimen. Dans la présente étude, nous présentons des preuves supplémentaires de la présence de ce scolyte du bois exotique au Québec, Canada

“…The vector, Xyleborus glabratus (redbay ambrosia beetle), has historically been reported to only invade dead trees of several plant families (including Lauraceae, Dipterocarpaceae, Fagaceae and Fabaceae) in its natural habit (Rabaglia et al 2006). However, only since arriving in the south-eastern USA (SE USA), has this beetle been reported to infest live trees.…”

The avocado industry was established in New Zealand from several importations dating back to 1907. Several serious pathogens found elsewhere in the world were not imported. A literature review and internet search were conducted to determine what serious avocado pathogens are not present in New Zealand and the potential impact they could have if they established. Relevant information was summarised for six pathogens determined to be the most serious of avocado and not known to be present in New Zealand: avocado sunblotch viroid (ASBVd); Pseudocercospora purpurea (cercospora spot); Ra aelea lauricola (laurel wilt); Fusarium sp. (fusarium dieback); Phellinus noxius (brown root rot); and Sphaceloma perseae (avocado scab). Laurel wilt, brown root rot, cercospora spot and fusarium dieback could become established in New Zealand if the climate here becomes warmer but establishment of ASBVd and avocado scab (which are not restricted to hot climates) is more likely.

Destructive Tree Diseases Associated with Ambrosia and Bark Beetles: Black Swan Events in Tree Pathology?

et al. 2013

Diseases that are associated with ambrosia and bark beetles comprise some of the most significant problems that have emerged on trees in the last century. They are caused by fungi in the Ophiostomatales, Microascales and Hypocreales, and have vectors in the Scolytinae (ambrosia and bark beetles), Platypodinae (ambrosia beetles) and Hylesininae (bark beetles) subfamilies of the Curculionidae (Coleoptera) (73,102,144). Some of these problems, such as Dutch elm disease (DED), have a long history, have been extensively researched, and are fairly well understood (23,56,70,113,149,168,169). In contrast, other similar diseases developed recently and are poorly or partially understood (2,3,42,51,73,89,94,98,114,127,137,154,158, 164,165). Significant data gaps may exist for the ecology, epidemiology and management of the latter diseases.The emergence and unexpected importance of these tree diseases are discussed in thisarticle. An underlying factor in most of these interactions is the absence of a coevolved history between the so-called "naïve" or "new encounter" host trees and the pathogens and/or beetles (27,128,174). For the ambrosia beetles, these interactions are associated with susceptibility to what are typically benign fungi and atypical relationships with healthy trees (ambrosia beetles favor trees that are dead or stressed). Interestingly, the pathogens for both the ambrosia and bark beetle-associated diseases often have symbiotic relationships with the insects that are not based on phytopathogenicity. Some of the most alarming and damaging of these diseases are considered below as "black swan events" (155).Black Swans. Before 1697, improbable events and situations in Europe were known as "black swans" (at the time, all swans known to Europeans were white) (134). In that year, the black swan, Cygnus atratus, was discovered in Western Australia (38). Thereafter, "black swan" developed as a metaphor for a supposed impossibility that is contradicted with new information.For example, John Stuart Mill used black swan logical fallacy when identifying falsification, a key component in the scientific method (68).In a recent book, Taleb (155) developed Black Swan Theory (BST). Unlike the "black swan" to which Mill referred (68), BST focuses on unexpected events of large magnitude and consequence (155). Taleb (155) recognized such events in diverse fields including finance, history, science and technology. He suggested that black swan events: 1) have extreme impacts; 2) lie outside the realm of regular expectations (they are rare); and 3) are unpredictable.Although all ambrosia and bark beetle-associated diseases are not black swan events, several do fulfill the above criteria since they have large impacts, are uncommon surprises and are unpredictable (2,3,51,56,73,89,94,98,114,137,154,158, 164,165) (Table 1). They are typically understood and appreciated only with the benefit of hindsight and subsequent research.The Beetles and Beetle-associated Tree Diseases. The order Coleoptera contains more species than any other or...
