“…For example, invasive Prunus serotina Ehrh. demonstrates a strong and close phylogenetic relationship with native P. padus L. (Bortiri et al 2001), and differences in food quality are small, so native specialists (Karolewski et al 2014) and generalists (Nowakowska and Halarewicz 2006;Mąderek et al 2015) have adapted to carrying out the entire life cycle with this new plant. Between Salix viminalis and Spiraea tomentosa, there is no close phylogenetic affinity, and our measurements show that the leaves of these two species differ significantly in relation to both chemical and morphological features.…”

“…Decrease in the number of natural enemies is usually observed in the case of plant species relocated beyond their natural range (Keane and Crawley 2002), but native insect species are able to utilise neophyte plant species (e.g. Karolewski et al 2014). Based on the literature, the impact of alien plants on insects and their host selection preferences remains equivocal (Sunny et al 2015).…”

The introduction of alien species can have a significant impact on the food preferences of native phytophagous insects. The moth Earias clorana L. has previously been considered to be monophagous, ingesting only plants in the genus Salix. In recent years, we have observed larval E. clorana feeding on Spiraea tomentosa L., an invasive shrub species in Central Europe that is native to North America. We hypothesised that this insect can feed on Spiraea tomentosa leaves with no negative effects on its growth and development, and that the leaves of Spiraea tomentosa as a source of food for E. clorana are equally as good as leaves of Salix viminalis L. Our results showed that despite significant differences in the chemical composition of the studied species' leaves, including a much higher concentration of defence compounds (total soluble phenols and condensed tannins) in Spiraea tomentosa leaves than in those of Salix viminalis, feeding on a new host plant did not significantly affect the survival of larvae. The change in host plant had an unfavourable effect, however, on several parameters of growth and development for the larvae (masses of larvae and pupae, relative growth rates, and efficiency of conversion of ingested food). We conclude that, in comparison to Salix viminalis, Spiraea tomentosa is not a particularly favourable food for larval development. Perhaps, even without direct improvements in adult foraging efficiency, however, the costs of switching hosts may be minimised in larvae that develop on very abundant, invasive species, such as Spiraea tomentosa in Central Europe.

“…Recent studies have clearly showed the adverse effects of black cherry invasions in forest stands including limiting recruitment of native species (Vanhellemont et al 2010), shifting forest community structure (Halarewicz and Żołnierz 2014) or even changing ecosystem functioning by altering nutrient cycling leading to a reduced carbon sequestration capacity of native species (Aerts et al 2017). Leaves of P. serotina are successfully used as an alternative food source for native insect pests (Karolewski et al 2014) that increases the food base for the insect pests of the native bird cherry (Prunus padus L.). Currently, there is no efficient method for invader eradication.…”

(2018). Spatial genetic structure and clonal structure of Prunus serotina during invasive spread. Silva Fennica vol. 52 no. 3 article id 9987. 21 p. https://doi.org/10.14214/sf.9987 Highlights• The spread of Prunus serotina in invaded forests is facilitated by high propagule pressure.• The seed shadow overlap prevents strong spatial genetic structure.• During colonization of isolated site, a strong spatial genetic structure is produced due to founder effect.• Overall clonality in P. serotina was low but may efficiently support seedling bank thus contributing to species invasiveness. AbstractPrunus serotina Ehrh. (black cherry) is one of the most important invaders in the European forests, but existing studies have given limited insight into demo-genetic factors underpinning the process of species invasion. Fine-scale genetic structure (FSGS) may deliver important knowledge on genetics of invasion contributing to efficient management of the alien species. Using eight microsatellites we investigated FSGS, clonal structure and relatedness in four black cherry populations which represented different stages of the invasive spread into Scots pine forests. Three populations were in a continuous forest complex and represented the colonization (Z_1) and established stages (Z_2 and Z_3). To investigate how colonization ability of the species is modified by landscape features, we analyzed an isolated population at colonization stage located in limited forest patch located in an agricultural landscape (R). Populations from continuous forest showed low yet significant positive FSGS with Sp = 0.0068 in Z_1, 0.0054 in Z_2, and 0.0066 in Z_3, while in R spatial structure was the strongest (0.0145). Considerable relatedness noted in population R suggests a dominance of within-population mating and recruitments, low immigration rate and limited seed dispersal, all of which led to the observed strong FSGS. Also, we presume that a founder effect likely involved during colonization of isolated forest patch R led to strong FSGS. In contrary, the seed shadow overlap in the populations from continuous forest prevented strong FSGS and facilitated colonization. Despite of low level of clonality, we argue that it may efficiently support black cherry seedling bank contributing to species invasiveness.

“…Herbivorous insects have been observed on P. serotina (Halarewicz and Jackowski, 2011;Karolewski et al, 2014;Halarewicz, 2006a, 2006b); a range of insect, bird, and mammal species feeds on P. serotina fruits (Boucault, 2009;Deckers et al, 2008;Korringa, 1947); and P. serotina seeds are predated by rodents (Boucault, 2009;Eijsackers and Ham, 1990) and the bird-cherry weevil (Moraal, 1988;Pairon et al, 2006). Pre-dispersal seed predation, as by the bird-cherry weevil Furcipus rectirostris (Linnaeus 1758), has not yet been reported in P. serotina's native range (e.g., Marquis, 1990).…”
