Host range expansion of native insects to exotic trees increases with area of introduction and the presence of congeneric native trees (2015, background): “Introduced tree species should not be planted as large monocultures or in mixtures with closely related species in order to decrease the risk of pest damage (Castagneyrol et al. 2014) while maintaining or enhancing productivity (Zhang, Chen & Reich 2012).”
Forest biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and the provision of ecosystem services (2017, background): “…only recently been demonstrated, via meta-analyses, that tree species grown in pure stands are, on average, significantly more affected by insect herbivory than the same species grown in mixed stands (Jactel and Brockerhoff 2007; Castagneyrol et al. 2014a; Guyot et al. 2016; Jactel et al. 2017).”
Forest management and natural biocontrol of insect pests (2016, background): “Associational resistance has been shown to be more effective against mono- or oligophagous pest insects (Castagneyrol et al., 2014).”
An evolutionary ecology perspective to address forest pathology challenges of today and tomorrow (2016, unknown): “Recently initiated tree species diversity experiments have allowed for the testing of associational effects (those linked to interactions between species) on traits including disease resistance and susceptibility (Castagneyrol et al. 2014; Hantsch et al. 2013, 2014).”
