“…Propagation difficulties and apparent differences in its interactions with HWA infesting different hemlock species prevented its use . Biocontrol efforts now focus on predators, but citations associated with assertions that biocontrol agents successfully control HWA in its native range (e.g., McClure, 1995aMcClure, ,b, 1996McClure, , 1997Cheah & McClure, 1996, 1998Sasaji & McClure, 1997;McClure et al, 2000;Kohler et al, 2008aKohler et al, ,b, 2016 refer to correlative studies that include few or no data about population-level effects in the field. The presence of a predator does not necessitate its interaction with and population impact on prey (Van Driesche & Hoddle, 2017).…”
