non-native is cause for concern. There are native Simaroubaceae in the
neotropics and across the American south extending into South America which
could face extinction if </span><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Courier New;color:#26282A;">Agrilus

"specialist" is always of concern because it refers to one organism
at a specific point in space and time. What may appear to be a specialist
organism under certain conditions might be a generalist forced into a specific
niche until a change in environmental conditions. In this case, what appears to
be a specialist to <i>Ailanthus</i> in Asia, may be a generalist to
the Simaroubaceae family when introduced to the rest of
the family. </span></p>

ecology, we need to realize that we are scientists, not arrogant tinkerers. My
experience with <i>Castanea dentata</i> shows me that our almost
overwhelming drive to "solve" the apparent problems of our world
almost always cause more issues and very often cause disasters. We need to take the time
to realize we are a part of the ecology, not the masters of it. A system 4.5
billion years old is much more complicated than any of us ephemeral organisms
with minute life spans can ever comprehend.</span></p>

this summer with this insect since I am not far from the origin of its
introduction and probably on the leading edge of its spread. (It would be nice
if I was not at the leading edge of another invasive insect issue, but that is
the life of an ecologist with lots of time to research.) Reference
material in PDF is welcome.</span></p>
