Several other exotic forest arthropods have also appe...
The emerald ash borer (EAB) is an exotic forest pest that has killed millions of ash trees in the United States and Canada, resulting in an ecological disaster and billions of dollars in economic losses of urban landscape and forest trees. The beetle was first detected in Michigan in 2002 ...
The emerald ash borer, Agrilus planipennis , is a beetle native to East Asia where it is considered a minor pest, preferentially attacking weakened or dying ash trees. It was first discovered in North America in 2002 and has since become one of the most serious invasive insect pests, killin...
The invasion of North America by emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), an Asian wood-boring beetle, has caused the widespread mortality of ash trees (Fraxinus spp., Oleaceae), with devastating ecological and economic impacts (Cappaert et al., 2005;...
