BioSAFE (BioSurveillance of Alien Forest Enemies) is developing genomics-enhanced suites of tools to detect forest enemies and assess the risk they pose
Joined December 2016
The global population genomics of the destructive Lymantria dispar (spongy or gypsy #moth) suggests continental East Asia as its evolutionary origin - article in @EvolAppJournal by @Sandrine_Picq and others like @richamelin - https://t.co/k9ODxcTtJT

New @NRCanScience & @BioSAFE_genome research on #ALB published in a special issue on insect cold tolerance
@AlexSTorson @brentjsinclair and others measure cold tolerance of an emerging forest pest, Asian longhorned beetle. Lower lethal limits are pretty low (around -25C!), so if you're in North America or Europe and have a hardwood tree, be on the lookout! https://t.co/vugBm9zoP8
