- Distribution, impact and rate of spread of emerald ash borer Agrilus planipennis (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) in the Moscow region of Russia (2013, background): “…planipennis preferentially attacks trees weakened by drought, competition or other factors (e.g. girdling) in its native range and in North America (McCullough et al., 2009; Tluczek et al., 2011), and this may play a large part in determining which trees are attacked first in woodland habitats.”
- Dispersal of the emerald ash borer, Agrilus planipennis, in newly‐colonized sites (2009, background): “Evaluating A. planipennis dispersal is difficult because trees with low densities of larvae typically exhibit no external symptoms (McCullough et al ., 2009).”
- Emerald ash borer invasion of North America: history, biology, ecology, impacts, and management. (2014, background): “EAB adults are preferentially attracted to, and larval density and growth rate are higher, on trees stressed by factors such as girdling (16, 65, 106), but healthy trees are colonized as well (14).”
- Influence of Host Stress on Emerald Ash Borer (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) Adult Density, Development, and Distribution in Fraxinus pennsylvanica Trees (2011, background): “Other studies with girdled trap trees have similarly reported that sticky bands sometimes fail to capture adult beetles even on trees found to be heavily colonized when debarked (McCullough et al. 2009a,b).”
- Evaluation of potential strategies to SLow Ash Mortality (SLAM) caused by emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis): SLAM in an urban forest (2012, methodology): “Ash trees girdled in spring are highly attractive to ovipositing A. planipennis (McCullough et al. 2009a, 2009b; Tluczek et al. 2011) and grids of girdled trees have been used for the detection of A. planipennis infestations (Rauscher 2006; Hunt 2007; Poland and McCullough 2010; SLAMEAB.info 2011).”
