The North American oak lace bug (Corythucha arcuata) was first discovered in Europe in 2000
and first reported in Hungary in 2013. During the last decade, it has spread rapidly. By now, there
are reports of its presence and even huge outbreaks from a considerable part of the continent. Its
long-term impacts are yet to be studied, but our present kn...
Both artificial and natural regeneration of oaks strongly depend on the quantity and quality of the acorn crop, which show high year-to-year variation. The volume of the acorn crop is influenced by many factors including biotic and abiotic effects. The quality (i.e., germination ability, nutrient reserves) of acorns can be decreased by carpophagous...
Non-native pests, climate change, and their interactions are likely to alter relationships between trees and tree-associated organisms with consequences for forest health. To understand and predict such changes, factors structuring tree-associated communities need to be determined. Here, we analysed the data consisting of records of insects and fun...
International trade in plants and climate change are two of the main factors causing damaging tree pests (i.e. fungi and insects) to spread into new areas. To mitigate these risks, a large-scale assessment of tree-associated fungi and insects is needed. We present records of endophytic fungi and insects in twigs of 17 angiosperm and gymnosperm gene...

Exploitation of organisms by multiple parasite species is common in nature, but interactions among parasites have rarely been studied. Myrmica ants are rich in parasites. Among others, the ectoparasitic Rickia wasmannii fungus and the parasitic caterpillars of myrmecophilous Phengaris butterflies often infect the same Myrmica colonies. In this stud...
Exploitation of organisms by multiple parasite species is common in nature, but interactions among parasites have rarely been studied. Myrmica ants are rich in parasites. Among others, the ectoparasitic Rickia wasmannii fungus and the socially parasitic caterpillars of myrmecophilous Phengaris butterflies often infect the same Myrmica colonies. In...
The North American oak lace bug (Corythucha arcuata) was first discovered in Europe (Norhern Italy) in 2000. It started a rapid area expansion in the last decade and has been reported in 20 countries so far. Almost all European oaks are suitable hosts. On top of the host availability, abiotic factors like weather/climate may also have a decisive im...
Aim
The strength of species interactions is traditionally expected to increase toward the Equator. However, recent studies have reported opposite or inconsistent latitudinal trends in the bottom‐up (plant quality) and top‐down (natural enemies) forces driving herbivory. In addition, these forces have rarely been studied together thus limiting previ...
The North American oak lace bug (OLB, Corythucha arcuata) was first found in Europe in northern Italy in 2000, and up to 2019 it was recorded in 20 countries. Almost all Eurasian deciduous oak species are suitable hosts and the species can also feed on many other woody plants. At least 30 million hectares of oak forests provide suitable hosts for t...
The consequences of anthropogenic climate change are one of the major concerns of conservation biology. A cascade of negative effects is expected to affect various ecosystems, one of which is Central European coniferous forests and their unique biota. These coniferous forests are the primary habitat of many forest specialist species such as red woo...
Az észak-amerikai származású tölgy-csipkéspoloskát Európában először 2000-ben, Észak-
Olaszországban észlelték. Hazánkban 2013-ban, a Szarvasi Arborétumban azonosították. Az azóta eltelt hat évben gyorsan terjeszkedett. 2019 őszére már Magyarország összes megyéjéből előkerült, több megyében már nagyterületű, állományszintű tömeges fellépését is ész...
Scientific knowledge in the field of ecology is increasingly enriched by data acquired by the general public participating in citizen science (CS) programs. Yet, doubts remain about the reliability of such data, in particular when acquired by schoolchildren. We built upon an ongoing CS program, 'Oak Bodyguards', to assess the ability of schoolchild...
Aim
The strength of species interactions is traditionally expected to become stronger toward the Equator. However, recent studies have reported opposite or inconsistent latitudinal trends in the bottom-up (plant quality) and top-down (natural enemies) forces driving insect herbivory, possibly because these forces have rarely been studied concomitan...
A 2014-2018 között megvalósult „KASZÓ-LIFE” program keretében élőhely rehabilitáció történt a KASZÓ Zrt. területén, enyves éger (Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn.) és kocsányos tölgy (Quercus robur L.) állományokban. A területen vízvisszatartó létesítmények segítségével próbálják csökkenteni, illetve lassítani a talajvíz süllyedését, javítani az erdők t...
Kivonat Az erdei vöröshangyák generalista ragadozók. Tömegesen zsákmányolnak különféle herbivor rovarokat, miáltal jelentősen csökkenthetik azok népességét. Az erdei vöröshangya fajok táplálékukat elsősorban a fák lombkoronájában szerzik, ezáltal a lombfogyasztó rovarok számát hatékonyan csökkenthetik. Az európai irodalom meglehetősen tág határokat...
The North American oak lace bug feeds on leaves of ‘white oaks” in its native range. In Europe, it was first discovered in northern Italy in 2000. In recent years, it has subsequently spread rapidly and population outbreaks have been observed in several European countries. In the present study, we summarize the steps of its expansion.
To predict it...
Kivonat Az észak-amerikai tölgy csipkéspoloskát (Corythucha arcuata) Európában először Észak-Olaszországban észlelték (2000). Magyarországon 2013-ban találták meg, az azóta eltelt öt évben, különösen pedig 2016-ban és 2017-ben gyors terjeszke-dést mutatott. 2017 őszéig öt kivételével (Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén, Nógrád; Győr-Moson-Sopron, Vas és Veszprém...
