Abstract:
... Aromia bungii (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is an economically important wood-boring insect pest of stone fruit trees, particularly Prunus persica, in China. It has entered Japan and several European countries as an invasive species in recent years. It is difficult to control because of the cryptic feeding behaviour of larvae beneath the bark. Identification of repellent constituents from non-host pl ...

Bacterial flora was characterized with molecular‐based approaches and enrichment cultivation. Bacteroidetes was shown as a major phylum followed by Firmicutes, with similar proportions in both seasons. However, two phylogenetically unique groups in Bacteroidetes were found in each season: ...

Prevention strategies tend to be implemented on a tree-by-tree basis by wrapping standing trees in biodegradable tape or netting. It remains unclear, however, whether installing these materials has a beneficial effect on untreated trees in surrounding stands. The aim of this study was to cl ...

We hypothesized that the effect of deer activities on epiphytes differs according to the host tree species and the type of management strategy. To test this hypothesis, the changes in epiphyte diversity were examined on Mt. Odaigahara (Japan), where debarking by Sika deer (Cervus nippo ...
