Abstract

The temporal and spatial dynamics of emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), in an outlier site in Roscommon County, Michigan, were reconstructed using dendrochronological analyses. The site was characterized by pockets of black ash, Fraxinus nigra Marsh., located in swampy areas surrounded by ash-free, higher terrain consisting mainly of oaks (Quercus spp.) and pines (Pinus spp.).
