“…Ambrosia beetles are often ranked among the most destructive insect pests of trees growing in ornamental nurseries because of their wood‐boring behaviour and association with branch dieback and tree death (Oliver & Mannion, ; Fulcher et al ., ; Ranger et al ., ). They are also known to attack large stands of trees in forested systems (Grégoire et al ., ; Henin & Versteirt, ; La Spina et al ., ).…”

1 A broad host range and the utilization of living but weakened trees contribute, in part, to the invasion success of ambrosia beetles (Curculionidae: Scolytinae). The present study assessed the capability of freeze stress to induce attacks by ambrosia beetles. 2 Freeze stress predisposed Cercis canadensis L., Cornus florida L., Malus pumilaMill. and Styrax japonicus Sieb. to attack under field conditions, although no attacks occurred on untreated trees. More attacks occurred on freeze-stressed versus flood-stressed M. pumila in Virginia but not for S. japonicus in Ohio. Attacks on flooded trees were skewed towards the base of the trunk, whereas attacks on freeze-stressed trees mainly occurred around the upper regions of the trunk and into the branches. The predominant species recovered were Anisandrus maiche Stark and Xylosandrus germanus (Blandford) in Ohio, and Xylosandrus crassiusculus (Motschulsky) in Virginia. 3 Ethanol emissions from trunks of S. japonicus were detected by solid phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry at 1 day after imposing freeze stress, peaking 4 days after injury. 4 Trees with an intolerance of freeze stress are predicted to be vulnerable to attack, especially when subjected to mild winter temperatures followed by late-spring freezes. Freeze stress could thereby facilitate the destructiveness of exotic ambrosia beetles.

“…These species have gained prominence in recent years due to their wide host range, frequency of attacks, and difficulty of control (Mizell et al 1994;Oliver & Mannion 2001;Fulcher et al 2012). Foundress beetles tunnel into trees and inoculate their brood gallery with a symbiotic fungus, which is then consumed by adults and larvae (Biedermann & Taborsky 2011).…”

“…Woodboring insects are also associated with high levels of host plant injury and economic losses to deciduous shade and flowering trees in commercial nurseries, urban forests, and managed landscapes (Fulcher et al 2012, Braman et al 2015. Infestation rates in Tennessee within just one red maple (Acer rubrum L.; Sapindales: Sapindaceae) cultivar by the native buprestid Chrysobothris femorata (Olivier) were as high as 38% among untreated trees (Oliver et al 2010).…”
