Vegetation dynamics in declining eastern hemlock stands: 9 years of forest response to hemlock woolly adelgid infestation (2006, background): “The impacts of these changes on several wildlife species have been documented, and additional impacts are predicted (Yamasaki et al. 2000; Brooks 2001; Snyder et al. 2002; Tingley et al. 2002; Ross et al. 2004).”
An invasive urban forest pest invades natural environments — Asian longhorned beetle in northeastern US hardwood forests (2011, background): “Nontree impacts, including effects on wildlife populations and (or) watersheds, can also occur (Tingley et al. 2002; Gandhi and Herms 2010).”
Hemlock woolly adelgid in the southern Appalachians: Control strategies, ecological impacts, and potential management responses (2013, background): “It is also likely that the loss of evergreen cover may impact birds (Tingley et al., 2002) and other terrestrial species that rely on this cover; however, research on these effects is limited in the southern Appalachians.”
Forest Ecosystem Responses to Exotic Pests and Pathogens in Eastern North America (2006, background): “A simulation study of a forest in Connecticut suggests that successional dynamics following hemlock mortality depend on the initial density of hemlock in a stand (Jenkins et al. 2000).”
Experimentally testing the role of foundation species in forests: the Harvard Forest Hemlock Removal Experiment (2010, background): “The environment created by this foundation tree species provides critical habitat for unique assemblages of associated animals, including birds, insects, salamanders and fish (Snyder et al. 2002; Tingley et al. 2002; Ellison et al. 2005b; Dilling et al. 2007;Mathewson 2009).”
Multi-year ecosystem response to hemlock woolly adelgid infestation in southern New England forests (2008, background): “The potential loss of hemlock from forests would also have profound impacts on a variety of wildlife species that rely on this forest type for at least part of their life cycle (Yamasaki et al. 2000; Tingley et al. 2002).”
Ecosystem to regional impacts of introduced pests and pathogens: historical context, questions and issues (2002, background): “To examine the effect of overstory species removal on wildlife, Tingley et al. (2002) document avian response to the HWA-induced decline of hemlock.”
Responses of insect pests, pathogens, and invasive plant species to climate change in the forests of northeastern North America: what can we predict? (2009, background): “The potential impacts of widespread hemlock mortality include changes in forest composition, structure, nutrient cycling, surface water quality, and populations of associated wildlife (e.g., Jenkins et al. 1999; Kizlinski et al. 2002; Tingley et al. 2002; Ross et al. 2003).”
A foundation tree at the precipice: Tsuga canadensis health after the arrival of Adelges tsugae in central New England (2012, background): “With continued HWA feeding we expect hemlock regeneration to decline and eventually disappear and diversity and cover of understory species to exhibit large increases (Orwig 2002, Small et al. 2005, Eschtruth et al. 2006, Spaulding and Rieske 2010, Preisser et al. 2011).”
Ecological effects of invasive alien insects (2008, background): “tsugae in North America strongly affects bird species composition (Tingley et al. 2002) and also”
Role of winter temperature and climate change on the survival and future range expansion of the hemlock woolly adelgid (Adelges tsugae) in eastern North America (2008, background): “These modifications to the environment are likely to have wide-ranging effects on the distributions and interactions of wildlife, including many species that are closely associated with hemlock (Yamasaki et al. 2000; Tingley et al. 2002; Ross et al. 2003).”
Direct and indirect effects of alien insect herbivores on ecological processes and interactions in forests of eastern North America (2010, background): “…[Wilsonia citrina (Boddaert)], a species of regional concern that benefited from a dense black birch understory created by hemlock mortality (Tingley et al. 2002), and opportunistic species such as the wood thrush [Hylocichla mustelina (J.F. Gmelin)] that benefited from increased numbers of…”
