Risk Analysis and Bioeconomics of Invasive Species to Inform Policy and Management (2016, background): “Many other tree species are now in slow-motion extinction owing to other introduced pests (151).”
The ecology, geopolitics, and economics of managing Lymantria dispar in the United States (2012, background): “Among forest insects and pathogens, recent work has suggested that approximately 2.5 non-native species successfully establish in the United States each year, while those species posing high risks to ecosystem function and services establish approximately once every 2 years (Aukema et al. 2010).”
Considerations for restoring temperate forests of tomorrow: forest restoration, assisted migration, and bioengineering (2015, background): “In the U.S., an average of 2.5 new pests arrives annually, with a high impact pest arriving every other year (Aukema et al. 2010).”
Evaluation of potential strategies to SLow Ash Mortality (SLAM) caused by emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis): SLAM in an urban forest (2012, background): “More than 450 species of non-native forest insects have become established in the USA and Canada and at least 14% of these species are considered invasive and damaging (Langor et al. 2009; Aukema et al. 2010).”
Increasing forest loss worldwide from invasive pests requires new trade regulations (2014, background): “Pests arrive with plants that are being imported for nurseries and plantations, in raw log imports, in shipping pallets, and in other wood products (Brasier 2008; Aukema et al. 2010; Liebhold et al. 2012).”
Exotic biological control agents: A solution or contribution to arthropod invasions? (2016, background): “…control has predominantly targeted economically important pests in agriculture and forestry although as numbers of invasive species are increasing (Aukema et al. 2010), more target pests are invasive species negatively affecting natural areas (Van Driesche et al. 2010; Van Driesche and Reardon…”
Common pathways by which non-native forest insects move internationally and domestically (2018, background): “Thousands of forest insect species have invaded new areas (Aukema et al. 2010; Liebhold et al. 2017) with some causing massive ecological and economic impacts.”
Complex patterns of global spread in invasive insects: eco-evolutionary and management consequences (2016, background): “The rate of accumulation of IAS continues to be very high in some parts of the world (Aukema et al. 2010) and to increase in others (Essl et al.”
Urban trees: bridge-heads for forest pest invasions and sentinels for early detection (2017, positive): “Additional mitigation and regulatory efforts may include pre-shipping pesticide treatment, or pre- and post- shipping inspections (Aukema et al. 2010).”
Projecting the continental accumulation of alien species through to 2050 (2020, positive): “…numbers may not come as a surprise, given the continuous increases observed during recent centuries, and the general lack of indications of slowdowns world-wide (Aukema et al., 2010; Blackburn, Dyer, Su, & Cassey, 2015; Liebhold et al., 2017; Muñoz-Mas & García-Berthou, 2020; Seebens et al., 2017).”
