Xyleborus (beetle)
''Xyleborus'' is by far the largest ambrosia beetle genus in the tribe (biology), tribe Xyleborini, with over 500 species.MSU (2004) ''Xyleborus'' nowadays includes a number of formerly independent genera. In addition, the genera ''Coptoborus'', ''Cryptoxyleborus'' and ''Euwallacea'' are often included here, too; this may be correct, as they seem to be closely related. Less often, ''Ambrosiodmus'', ''Premnobius'' and ''Xyleborinus'' are included in ''Xyleborus'', but they seem to be well distinct; ''Premnobius'' might even not belong to the Xyleborini at all. The different species can be best differentiated by the gallery burrows they build and the tree species they infest. A significant member, ''Xyleborus dispar, X. dispar'', causes pear blight.

Xyleborus Affinis
''Xyleborus affinis'', the sugarcane shot-hole borer, is a species of ambrosia beetle in the family Curculionidae. It is found on all continents with woodlands and is one of the most widespread ambrosia beetles internationally, primarily in areas with humid tropical climates like Florida. Like other ambrosia beetles, ''Xyleborus affinis'' is attracted to dead fallen logs in early stages of decay. Due to the presence of ''X. affinis'' on moist timber, this species is mistakenly believed to be the cause of tree death. However, there is insufficient evidence to support their presence as a causal factor. Rather, these beetles are believed to target and accelerate the decay process of trees that are already deteriorated and weak. Similar to other species of ambrosia beetles, ''Xyleborus affinis'' lives in symbiosis with ambrosia fungi and dig tunnels (formally known as galleries) into the xylem of decaying trees where the fungus is then grown. Female eggs are laid in these fungus-lined ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Xyleborus Monographus
''Xyleborus monographus'', the Mediterranean oak borer, is a species of ambrosia beetle in the family Curculionidae. It is native to oaks in the regions around the Mediterranean Sea, but since 2019 has been found in California, where the oak trees it infests may be more vulnerable. Native habitat The Mediterranean oak borer is around long. It is native to the regions surrounding the Mediterranean. In these parts of Europe, the Middle East and North Africa the beetle mostly infests dead and dying oak trees. It is found in at least twelve species of oak. As with other ambrosia beetles, it carries symbiotic ambrosia fungi, which it cultivates for food along the boring tunnels. One of these fungi, ''Raffaelea montetyi'', seems linked to wilt disease in cork trees (''Quercus suber'') in Portugal. When the females fly to another tree they carry the fungal spores in their mycangia. The beetle penetrates through thin or cracked bark in the canopy branches. It first invades and kill bra ...

Xyleborus Glabratus
''Xyleborus glabratus'', the redbay ambrosia beetle, is a type of ambrosia beetle invasive species, invasive in the United States. It has been documented as the primary Vector (epidemiology), vector of ''Raffaelea lauricola'', the fungus that causes laurel wilt, a disease that can kill several North American tree species in the family Lauraceae, including redbay tree, redbay, Sassafras albidum, sassafras, and avocado. Distribution ''Xyleborus glabratus'' is native to Asia, including India, Japan, Myanmar, and Taiwan. It was first detected in the United States in 2002, and may have arrived in wood products, packing materials or pallets. ''X. glabratus'' and laurel wilt disease have since spread through much of the Gulf coastal plain, Gulf and Atlantic Coastal Plains, ranging from eastern Texas and Arkansas to North Carolina, and in 2019 they were found in Kentucky and Tennessee. Identification Adult The female redbay ambrosia beetle is a small (2.1 to 2.4 mm long), black ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
