Emerald ash borer (EAB) larvae and their natural enemies exhibit specific spatial distributions in ash forests. Understanding these patterns is crucial for managing EAB populations and protecting ash trees.

Area of Science:

  • Forest entomology
  • Invasive species ecology
  • Pest management

Background:

  • The emerald ash borer (EAB) is a destructive invasive insect impacting ash tree populations.
  • Understanding the spatial distribution of EAB and its natural enemies is vital for effective control strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the spatial distribution patterns of emerald ash borer larvae, the parasitoid Spathius agrili, and woodpecker activity in ash forests.
  • To determine the preferred vertical and horizontal distribution ranges for EAB and its natural enemies.

Main Methods:

  • Spatial analysis of EAB larvae, Spathius agrili, and woodpecker pecks within ash forest ecosystems.
  • Statistical modeling to describe horizontal and vertical distribution patterns.

Main Results:

  • EAB larvae, Spathius agrili, and woodpecker pecks followed a negative binomial distribution in the horizontal direction.
  • EAB larvae were found on ash trunks from ground level up to 3.37 m, with a peak distribution around 1.50 m.
  • Natural enemies of EAB also concentrated their activity within this preferred vertical range.

Conclusions:

  • The spatial distribution of EAB and its natural enemies is non-uniform and concentrated within specific vertical strata on ash trees.
  • This concentrated distribution may inform targeted management interventions for emerald ash borer control.
