“…Temperature has a large impact on the survival and development of bark beetles (e.g., Damos & Savopoulou‐Soultani, 2012; Pugh et al, 2022). The number of GAB generations per year reported from various latitudes appears to be temperature‐dependent.…”

1. The granulate ambrosia beetle (GAB) Xylosandrus crassiusculus, was first formally detected in New Zealand in 2019. Since then, GAB has subsequently been found infesting numerous tree species in the Auckland region.2. Flight intercept traps baited with ethanol lures were deployed from October 2019 to May 2021 at three sites in the Auckland region to ascertain the phenology of GAB in New Zealand. Two distinct peak flight periods were identified in early and late summer, while a smaller and inconsistent third peak was detected in early autumn. Logistical analysis of GAB captures in the ethanol-lured traps and degreeday (DD) accumulation indicated that 90% of flight activity is completed by 800 DD.3. To assess monitoring tactics, flight intercept traps were baited with three different ethanol lures with varying release rates or ethanol-soaked or non-soaked wood bolts from three species of trees. A lure releasing 2 g ethanol per day was most effective at capturing GAB. Ethanol-soaked bolts were less effective than the lures. 4. Xylosandrus crassiusculus represents a significant risk for shrubs and trees native to New Zealand, as well as commercial horticultural and forestry trees. We recommend using ethanol-lured panel traps for monitoring purposes.

“…Moreover, in China, H. ligniperda occupies a wide range of habitats, including nearly all provinces of central and southern China [12,13]. H. ligniperda exhibits high tolerance to extreme temperatures during different developmental stages [14]. It can carry pathogens such as the blue stain fungi Ophiostomatales, which infest and harm host trees, affecting wood quality [15,16].…”

Hylurgus ligniperda (Fabricius), a significant quarantine pest, has recently invaded China, marking a new spread outside its known global distribution. This study aims to clarify the invasion and colonization mechanisms of H. ligniperda in Shandong Province, a primary colonization site. This study employed sampling surveys and analysis of damaged wood, discovering that the wood-boring insects sharing the same host as H. ligniperda mainly include Cryphalus sp., Arhopalus rusticus, and Shirahoshizo sp. Through ecological niche theory, the study analyzed the ecological niche relationships between H. ligniperda and these three wood-boring insects, from the perspectives of temporal and spatial resource utilization. The results reveal that these insects could cause damage to P. thunbergii trees at different health levels, with H. ligniperda being the most destructive. The ecological niches of insect populations varied significantly by tree vigor and height. Cryphalus sp. occupied the entire trunk, whereas A. rusticus and Shirahoshizo sp. were concentrated in the lower-middle trunk and the root section up to a depth of 1 m. Notably, H. ligniperda primarily targeted tree roots. Due to the differences in spatial distribution, there was no intense competition between H. ligniperda and other wood-boring insects. With a decline in the health of the host tree, Cryphalus sp. ascended the trunk, whereas H. ligniperda spread deeper into the roots and A. rusticus moved towards the base of the trunk and the top of the roots. Shirahoshizo sp. showed a less defined distribution pattern. Therefore, H. ligniperda was more dominant during the later stage of damage. The position occupied by each insect on the trunk was relatively stable, and the ecological niche overlap value with H. ligniperda was low in terms of temporal resources. Therefore, H. ligniperda and other stem-boring pests exhibit coexisting populations mainly through the allocation and utilization of spatial resources, eventually promoting the successful colonization of H. ligniperda.
