The threats: history and potential : Evolution of the regulatory response to emerald ash borer infestation in the USA a history of adaptation across federal and state jurisdictions ; Scott Pfister ; A quarter-century of emerald ash borer in Europe ; Yuri Baranchikov ; Interactions of bronze birch borer and emerald ash borer with novel and coevolved hosts ; Daniel Herms ; European initial perspectives ; The European starting point: current perceptions and measures to prepare for emerald ash borer and bronze birch borer ; Hugh Evans; How can we best prepare for and manage risks and impacts of EAB and BBB in Europe? ; Antoon Loomans; EPPO perspective on emerald ash borer and bronze birch borer ; Françoise Petter ; Initial impressions on the key concerns for Europe. What questions do we need to concentrate on? European initial perspectives (cont.); Invasive alien pests threaten the carbon stored in Europe’s forests ; Franz Essl; Monitoring and detection ; Developing and improving detection tools for emerald ash borer and other buprestids ; Joe Francese; Emerald ash borer detection and monitoring in Canada ; Krista Ryall and Peter Silk; Host volatiles attractive to the bronze birch borer Agrilus anxius Gory (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) ; Peter Silk; Trapping the bronze birch borer, Agrilus anxius ; Claire Rutledge; A review of trapping European buprestids with the goal of developing monitoring tools ; Zoltan Imrei; Testing a compromise trapping design to capture non-native species of long-horned beetles and Agrilus spp ; Alain Roques; Initial progress in use of detection dogs for EAB monitoring ; Ute Hoyer-Tomiczek; Keeping the pests out and maximising the likelihood of early detection of invasion. What is the best approach?; Dispersal and range expansion ; Emerald ash borer population dynamics and range expansion in Canada ; Christian MacQuarrie; To EAB or not to EAB? It is doubtful that Agrilus planipennis will become a devastating forest pest in Europe in the nearest future ; Marina J. Orlova-Bienkowskaja ; Pathways for transfer of emerald ash borer and bronze birch borer to Europe ; Bjørn Økland; Quantification of pathways and optimal surveillance strategies of human-assisted introductions for emerald ash borer ; Denys Yemshanov; Managing resources to optimise prevention and to maximise detection and early deployment of management options. What is the best first response strategy?
