Performance of the potentially invasive Siberian moth Dendrolimus superans sibiricus on coniferous species in Europe
Abstract 1 The native range of the Siberian moth extends from the Pacific Ocean (Russian Far East, Japan and Northern Korea) across Siberia, Northern China and Mongolia to the Ural Mountains. At the beginning of the 21st Century, this species was documented west of the Ural Mountains in the Republic...
