Citations in the corpus

• Urban trees: bridge-heads for forest pest invasions and sentinels for early detection (2017, unknown): “Ironically, many of these trees were planted decades ago to replace American elms (Ulmus americana), which had been devastated by the invasive Dutch elm disease pathogen (MacFarlane and Meyer 2005).”
• Evaluation of potential strategies to SLow Ash Mortality (SLAM) caused by emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis): SLAM in an urban forest (2012, background): “This environment would be similar to many municipalities where ash comprises up to 20–30% of the urban forest canopy (MacFarlane and Meyer 2005; Saint Paul, MN EAB 2011) and ensured that we had adequate data for our simulations.”
• Classical biological control for the protection of natural ecosystems (2010, background): “Ash is a dominant or co-dominant in many forest communities, particularly in mesic woodlands and riparian areas (MacFarlane and Meyer, 2005), and many of these habitats have been severely affected.”
• Flight Performance of Agrilus planipennis (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) on a Flight Mill and in Free Flight (2010, background): “6% of trees in timberlands in the United States are threatened by this beetle (USDA-FS 2009), with about 12% of urban street trees being ash species (Federal Register 2003; MacFarlane and Meyer 2005).”
• Emerald ash borer invasion of North America: history, biology, ecology, impacts, and management. (2014, background): “Given that Fraxinus is one of the most widely distributed tree genera in North America (58), the ecological impacts of the EAB invasion are likely to be experienced on a continental scale.”
• Restoration of threatened species: a noble cause for transgenic trees (2007, background): “Since its discovery, the insect has killed millions of ash trees in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana (MacFarlane and Meyer 2005).”
• Seasonal abundance of Agrilus planipennis (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) and its natural enemies Oobius agrili (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) and Tetrastichus planipennisi (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) in China. (2007, background): “The potential impacts of A. planipennis on forest biodiversity, ash resources, and urban areas in North America will be profound since ash trees are widely distributed and planted throughout North America (MacFarlane and Meyer, 2005; Poland and McCullough, 2006).”
• Distribution of trunk-injected 14C-imidacloprid in ash trees and effects on emerald ash borer (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) adults (2009, background): “Prior to the discovery of A. planipennis, ashes comprised up to 29% of the urban and community forest canopies in Michigan cities (MacFarlane and Meyer, 2005).”
• Factors Influencing Woodpecker Predation on Emerald Ash Borer (2008, background): “White ash, for example, is a common associate in at least 26 different forest cover types (Schlesinger, 1990; MacFarlane and Meyer, 2005).”
