Invasive Species in the Last Frontier: Distribution and Phenology of Birch Leaf Mining Sawflies in Alaska Invasive species pose a significant threat to forested ecosystems. Within the past 10 years, three nonnative birch leaf mining sawflies have been found in Alaska: Fenusa pumila, Heterarthrus nemoratus, and Profenusa thomsoni. Damage, caused primarily by P. thomsoni, is particularly notable in urban areas where the impact of browning tree crowns in mid-to-late summer raises public concern. The initial outbreak in Anchorage in 1996 increased to more than 32,000 ac by 2003. That same year, a survey was initiated to determine the extent of leaf mining sawflies throughout most of the state. Adult emergence, flight period, and larval phenology were assessed also. Surveys done through 2006 show that P. thomsoni is present... Categories: Publication; Types: Citation; Tags: Adaptation planning 2-Management Protocols Potential Invasive Species

ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
