Coyle, D.R. and E.W. Hodgson. 2022. Guiding the next generation of Extension professionals: there’s a method to the madness. Am. Entomol. 68: 24-27.

Extension doesn't come naturally to everyone. Hands-on learning is a must, and we discuss several ways in which advisors can help train future Extension professionals.

Sapkota, S., S.L. Boggess, R.N. Trigiano, W.E. Klingeman, D. Hadziabdic, D.R. Coyle, and M. Nowicki. 2022. Microsatellite loci reveal high genetic diversity and high mutation and migration rates as invasion divers of Callery pear (Pyrus calleryana) in the southeastern U.S. Front. Genet. 13:861398. https://doi.org/10.3389/fgene.2022.861398

This paper shows that Callery pear possesses all the genetic characteristics to be an incredibly successful invasive woody plant.

Darr, M.N., D.R. Coyle, and R.M. Jetton. 2022. Arthropod and disease management in Fraser fir (Pinales: Pinaceae) Christmas trees in the southeastern United States. J. Integr. Pest Manage. 13(1), 8. https://doi.org/10.1093/jipm/pmac001.

Fraser fir is one of the most popular Christmas trees despite its limited range. Here we review common insect and disease pests of this economically important tree in the Southeast.

Zhai, L., D.R. Coyle, D. Li, and A. Jonko. 2022. Fire, insect, and disease-caused tree mortalities increased in forests of greater structural diversity during drought. J. Ecol. 110: 673-685.

Forests with more structural diversity - i.e., more variation in stem height and diameter - were less likely to impacted by insect, disease, or wildfire damage. However, stands with more structural diversity were more susceptible to canopy fires in our models.

Franic, I., S. Prospero, K. Adamson, E. Allen, F. Attorre, et al. 2022. Worldwide diversity of endophytic fungi and insects associated with dormant tree twigs. Sci. Data 9, 62. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-022-01162-3.

We sampled tree-associated fungi and insecs from around the world (51 locations in 32 countries) and found an incredible diversity in the nearly 13,000 fungal sequences and over 200 different herbivores.

Hartshorn, J.A., J.F. Palmer, and D.R. Coyle. 2022. Into the wild: evidence for the enemy release hypothesis in the invasive Callery pear (Pyrus calleryana Decne.). Environ. Entomol. 51: 216-221.

Callery pear is known to be resistant to herbivores, but here we show that several polyphagous native and non-native herbivores would - in some cases - rather perish than actually eat Callery pear foliage, supporting the enemy release hypothesis as one reason this plant may be so successful.

Coyle, D.R., B.M. Williams, and D.L. Hagan. 2021. Fire can reduce thorn damage by the invasive Callery pear tree. HortTechnology 31: 625-629.

Callery pear thorns frequently puncture tires during management activities, and this work found that by appliying fire to the thorns, their ability to puncture tires was greatly reduced.
