TL;DR: Ecosystem service protection was provided in the fewest cases by either insect or plant biological control agents, but was more likely to be provided by projects directed against invasive plants, likely because of the strong effects plants exert on landscapes.
Journal Article
Hemlock Woolly Adelgid
TL;DR: The Hemlock Woolly Adelgid is a tiny, aphidlike insect native to Asia, believed to have accidentally entered North America on imported nursery plants and is now a serious pest of eastern hemlock in the U.S.
Journal ArticleDOI
Host specificity of Laricobius nigrinus Fender (Coleoptera: Derodontidae), a potential biological control agent of the hemlock woolly adelgid, Adelges tsugae Annand (Homoptera: Adelgidae)
TL;DR: Host specificity tests of Laricobius nigrinus Fender were conducted under quarantine in Blacksburg, Virginia, to determine the suitability of this beetle as a biological control agent of the hemlock woolly adelgid, Adelges tsugae Annand, in the eastern United States.
Journal ArticleDOI
Establishment of the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid Predator, Laricobius nigrinus (Coleoptera: Derodontidae), in the Eastern United States
TL;DR: Logistic regression modeling found that establishment was positively related to minimum winter temperature and release size, and was recommend smaller release sizes in warm areas where establishment probability was high and larger release size in cold areas whereestablishment probability was low.
