Ecology of forest insect invasions (2017, background): “Such data provide a basis for analyses to determine biogeographic and temporal patterns regarding the origins of arriving species and how these change as a result of changing trade patterns, for example (e.g., Brockerhoff et al. 2006; McCullough et al. 2006).”
Improving the early detection of alien wood‐boring beetles in ports and surrounding forests (2015, background): “2006b) and they are recognized as highly successful invasive group of species (Haack 2006; McCullough et al. 2006).”
Biological control of forest plantation pests in an interconnected world requires greater international focus (2012, background): “The rapidly increasing rates of introduction and establishment of non-native insects worldwide has become a part of the central canon of invasion biology and forest health protection (Liebhold et al. 1995; McCullough et al. 2006; Wingfield et al. 2008b).”
Emerald ash borer invasion of North America: history, biology, ecology, impacts, and management. (2014, background): “Various watch lists developed by regulatory officials and scientists identify potentially invasive forest pests and are used to target high-risk imports and prioritize interception efforts and detection surveys (70).”
Alien forest insects in a warmer world and a globalised economy: impacts of changes in trade, tourism and climate on forest biosecurity. (2010, background): “McCullough et al. (2006) similarly reported that improved relations and increased trade between the United States and countries such as Vietnam and China were mirrored by notable increases in pest interceptions over time.”
Urban trees: bridge-heads for forest pest invasions and sentinels for early detection (2017, background): “Other pathways include trade in logs, lumber, fuelwood and manufactured wood articles, and baggage carried by travellers (Haack et al. 2014; Liebhold et al. 2012; McCullough et al. 2006).”
Saving camels from straws: how propagule pressure-based prevention policies can reduce the risk of biological invasion (2008, background): “Studies have revealed that Federal inspection agencies are lacking in some key human and informational capacities (GAO 2006a, b; Reaser and Waugh 2007) and the brisk pace of new invasions indicates that this system is insufficient to meet national needs (Levine and D’Antonio 2003; McCullough et al. ”
Novel associations between pathogens, insects and tree species threaten world forests (2010, background): “Wood products and wood packaging material have been recognised as a major source of pests and pathogens and substantial attention has been given to managing this threat in recent years (Brockerhoff et al., 2006b; Haack, 2006; McCullough et al., 2006).”
North American arthropods at risk due to widespread Fraxinus mortality caused by the Alien Emerald ash borer (2010, background): “The number of exotic insects and other species that are introduced and established in North America is predicted to continue climbing concurrently with international trade (Liebhold et al. 1995; McCullough et al. 2006).”
The role of Allee effects in gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar (L.), invasions (2009, background): “DISCUSSION Biological invasions continue to occur worldwide due to dramatic increases in world trade and travel (Vitousek et al. 1996; Work et al. 2005; Brockerhoff et al. 2006; Liebhold et al. 2006; McCullough et al. 2006).”
Live plant imports: the major pathway for forest insect and pathogen invasions of the US (2012, methodology): “By examining records stored in the APHIS Pest Interception Database (PestID) (McCullough et al. 2006), we were able to characterize the types of detected pest species.”
The ecology, geopolitics, and economics of managing Lymantria dispar in the United States (2012, background): “With the current trends in global trade and travel, new species will likely continue to arrive to new areas (Levine and D’Antonio 2003; Work et al. 2005; McCullough et al. 2006; Dehnen-Schmutz et al. 2007).”
Direct and indirect effects of alien insect herbivores on ecological processes and interactions in forests of eastern North America (2010, background): “Pathways of introduction have been unintentional such as infested wood packing or soil and plant material (Work et al. 2005; Haack 2006; McCullough et al. 2006), and intentional as biocontrol agents (Elkinton and Liebhold 1990).”
Common pathways by which non-native forest insects move internationally and domestically (2018, background): “Analysis of US insect interception data with passenger baggage arriving mostly by air during 1984-2000 showed that most insects were associated with fresh plant items, either for consumption, propagation, or other plant parts (McCullough et al. 2006).”
