Human health risks of invasive caterpillars increase with urban warming

LANDSCAPE ECOLOGY, 36(5), 1475–1487.

By: K. Backe n, J. Rousselet*, A. Bernard*, S. Frank n & A. Roques*

author keywords: Thaumetopoea pityocampa; Pinus nigra; Urban heat island; Invasive species; Human health
TL;DR: It is highlighted that local landscape variation, such as a mosaic of warmer and cooler temperatures in cities, can alter the effects of this type of range expansion for people. (via Semantic Scholar)

2020 journal article

Intraspecific variation in morphology, physiology, and ecology of wildtype relative to horticultural varieties of red maple (Acer rubrum)

TREES-STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION, 34(2), 603–614.

By: E. Lahr n, K. Backe n & S. Frank n

author keywords: Acer rubrum; Cultivar; Genotype; Photosynthesis; Red maple; Wildtype
TL;DR: Differences among types of red maple aid in understanding how intraspecific variation in tree appearance—and the en masse planting of a single cultivar in cities—affects physiological and ecological responses, the provision of ecosystem services, and the condition of planted trees.

Chronology of Gloomy Scale (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) Infestations on Urban Trees

ENVIRONMENTAL ENTOMOLOGY, 48(5), 1113–1120.

By: K. Backe n & S. Frank n

author keywords: scale insect; urban tree; pest management; maple (Acer); herbivory
MeSH headings : Acer; Animals; Cities; Hemiptera; Seasons; Trees
TL;DR: It is found that gloomy scale densities remain low on trees until at least seven seasons after tree planting, providing a key timepoint for starting scouting efforts, and there is a lag between the onset of pest infestations and a decline in tree condition, indicating that gloomy Scale management should begin prior to a visible decline inTree condition.

2019 journal article

Exotic urban trees conserve similar natural enemy communities to native congeners but have fewer pests

PEERJ, 7.

By: S. Frank n, K. Backe n, C. McDaniel n, M. Green n, S. Widney n & R. Dunn n

author keywords: Urban trees; Parasitoids; Conservation; Pest management; Exotic trees; Acer spp. (maple); Quercus spp. (oaks); Natural enemies; Native trees; Scale insects (Coccoidea)
TL;DR: These native and exotic tree species could help conserve arthropod natural enemies and achieve pest management goals and Parasitoid communities were significantly different among Acer species and Quercus species due in each case to greater abundance of a single family on one native tree species.
