Bioclimatic and Landscape Factors drive the Potential Distribution of , and (Hemiptera, Aphrophoridae) in Southeastern Iberian Peninsula.

and are the main vectors of the invasive bacteria and key threats to European plant health. Previous studies of the potential distribution of reveal that climatic factors are the main drivers of its distribution on the Mediterranean Basin scale. Other local studies reveal that the landscape could also have a role in the distribution of both species of and .

First record of the Granulate Ambrosia Beetle, (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae), in the Iberian Peninsula.

The Granulate Ambrosia Beetle Xylosandrus crassiusculus, an alien species of Asian origin, was recorded for first time in the Iberian Peninsula. Many specimens were collected in October 2016 in the Valencia region (Spain) from infested carob trees. The species is included in the EPPO Alert List as causing serious damage in many Mediterranean regions.

Saproxylic community, guild and species responses to varying pheromone components of a pine bark beetle.

Some bark beetle species (Coleoptera: Scolytinae) produce aggregation pheromones that allow coordinated attack on their conifer hosts. As a new saproxylic habitat is founded, an assemblage of associated beetles kairomonally respond to bark beetle infochemicals. Ips sexdentatus is one of the major damaging insects of Pinus spp.
