“…It was first recorded in Europe in 2003, in Budapest (Remaudière and Ripka 2003), and then began to spread quickly in the region. P. fraxinifolii has been reported excluding native range in the following countries: Chile, South Africa (Blackman and Eastop 1994), China (Yu et al 2015), Iran (Tajmiri et al 2016), Kazakhstan (Kadyrbekov 2017), Armenia, Belarus, Bulgaria, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Spain and16 regions of European Russia (Orlova-Bienkowskaja andBieńkowski 2021). The expansion speed of this pest is very fast, which can be understood from European diffusion (Baker and Martin 2011).…”

Ash trees provide important ecosystem services and are considered of high value both as ornamental trees and as a forest component. Recently, numerous reports containing detailed information about the situation of ash pests in different countries have been published. For this reeson, we performed a small survey to detect invasive pests of ash trees in Kyrgyzstan. Between 2018-2020 malformations and some curled leaves were observed at the base of a number of Fraxinus pennsylvanica Marsh. trees in landscaped areas in Djal microdistrict in Bishkek city, capital of the Kyrgyz Republic. In July 2021, a survey has been conducted throughout city to check the presence of the newly emerged exotic pest and colonies of ash leaf curl aphid. Prociphilus fraxinifolii (Riley, 1879) were observed on the green ash trees, Fraxinus pennsylvanica Marsh. It was detected from 3 localities out of 11 in Bishkek. The rate of infestation were determined between 12 and 42%. This is the first record of the species in Kyrgyzstan.

Biological invasions in forest ecosystems are recognised as a global scale challenge. However, our current knowledge of invasive alien forest insect species (IAFIS) in Romania is still lacking and rather insufficient to support clear policies. The aim of this study is to contribute to a better understanding of the distribution of IAFIS in the Muntenia and Dobrogea provinces of Romania. For this purpose, direct observations and insect collections were made two consecutive years, in 76 locations. Of these, 67 sampling locations forming a long field observation route were visited only once, and nine sampling locations were fixed monitoring points with primed traps used in first year for regular collection of insects at 1-2-week intervals. Seventeen non-native forest insect species from five orders and 11 families were detected: Aproceros leucopoda, Cameraria ohridella, Corythucha arcuata, Cydalima perspectalis, Dasineura gleditchiae, Eopineus strobus, Euura tibialis, Gilletteella cooleyi, Hyphantria cunea, Ips duplicatus, Macrosaccus robiniella, Neoclytus acuminatus, Obolodiplosis robiniae, Parectopa robiniella, Phyllonorycter issikii, Prociphilus fraxinifolii and Xylosandrus germanus. Eleven IAFIS species originate from North America, four from Asia and two from Europe. All detected species were previously reported from Romania, but eight species had not been recorded in these two provinces. Seven species live on native tree species, while 10 thrive on exotic trees or shrubs. The highest number of IAFIS was recorded in urban areas. Except for E. tibialis, all found IAFIS have a significant ecological or economic impact across invaded habitats. The risks posed by biological invasions need more thorough consideration that deserves greater attention and scientific support.

The genus Drepanaphis del Guercio currently includes 16 species, all of which are found in North America. Representatives of this genus are narrow oligophages associated mainly with plants of the genus Acer. Previous studies have focused only on the morphology of selected species, while not considering their geographical distribution. Among all species, the painted maple aphid Drepanaphis acerifoliae deserves particular attention, because it represents the broadest range in North America and is the only species of this genus to be found outside of its natural range, i.e. in Europe. Thanks to suitable niche modelling based on a maximum entropy model, we were able to present maps with the potential distribution of D.acerifoliae in its natural range. In North America, its distribution coincides with the natural range of the host plants (native to the eastern part), as well as the areas where they are planted (the western part). An extrapolation of these results to the area of Europe allowed for the designation of places where the aphids can find suitable climatic conditions for developing and expanding their spatial distribution. The model indicated the Mediterranean basin, almost all of Italy, excluding mountainous areas, Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, the western part of Germany, the southeast and central part of Great Britain, Hungary and the Balkan Peninsula. In a more continental view, the model pointed to areas stretching from the middle of eastern Ukraine, including Crimea, through Russia, to northern parts of Kazakhstan along the border with Russia. Additionally, the impact of climate change on the spread of the species within the next 80 years was analysed, both in North America and Europe. Models considering the potential future climate changes indicate that D.acerifoliaemay find suitable niches further north of its current ranges. In North America, this is mostly areas of eastern Canada, while in Europe it includes the central and eastern part and the Asian part of Russia.
