“…Massicus raddei (Blessig) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is a primary wood borer that mostly attacks oak species of Quercus and Castanea that are healthy or almost dying; its larvae bore into the xylem of host trees, creating large galleries that obstruct the transportation of water and nutrition, thus causing crown dieback or even death [ 1 ]. Massicus raddei has a wide distribution in the oriental region, including most provinces of China [ 2 ], the Korean Peninsula [ 3 , 4 , 5 ], Japan [ 6 , 7 ], Vietnam [ 8 ], and the Russian Far East [ 9 , 10 ]. Although this borer has not yet been reported on other continents or in the remaining countries of Asia [ 11 ], with reference to severe outbreaks of this borer in oak forests of northeastern China and the globalization of trade, the identification of climatically suitable areas for the invasion and permanent establishment of the borer is urgently needed.…”

Massicus raddei (Blessig) is a serious trunk borer of oak species, currently widespread only in eastern Asia. A better understanding of the invasive potential of this borer across other distribution-free areas is further needed to prevent its invasion and outbreaks. In this study, we mapped the current distribution of M. raddei, two susceptible hosts (Quercus mongolia and Q. liaotungensis) and all 11 host species of this borer, and then modeled their potential distributions. We comprehensively compared the current distributions and potential invasion ranges among M. raddei, susceptible hosts and all hosts to select areas at risk for the establishment of this borer. MaxEnt model predictions revealed that (1) the central and eastern US, a small area of central and western Europe, western Georgia, and central Argentina had suitable climates for M. raddei. Such highly suitable areas for this borer overlapped considerably with the current plantation and potential distributions of its hosts. Consequently, susceptible hosts and climate suitability together create the highest risk for M. raddei establishment and outbreaks, throughout central and eastern America, a small area of central Europe, western Norway and western Georgia, and (2) the broad host suitability across six continents creates a situation favorable for the colonization of this borer, further extending the spatial scale of possible infestation by M. raddei worldwide.
