Global trade has accelerated the spread of wood-boring insects. Woodwasps (Hymenoptera: Siricidae) include several species that have established outside their native ranges, but their global translocation is not well documented. Despite several biases, port interception records can serve as indirect proxies of propagule pressure and can be used to quantify invasion pathways. Here, we use historical border interception records...

Purpose of Review Bark beetle outbreaks are intensifying under climate change, yet the links among drought stress, beetle attack and colonization, rapid tree mortality, and tree physiology, remain poorly integrated across disciplines. This review provides a comprehensive, mechanistic synthesis of recent advances in tree physiology, bark beetle ecology, and microbial interactions to examine how drought alters xylem–phloem funct...
