Abstract
The emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), is an invasive phloemfeeding beetle from Asia that attacks ash (Fraxinus spp.) trees. EAB was determined to be the cause of extensive ash tree mortality throughout southeast Michigan and nearby Ontario in 2002. For several years, regulatory agencies attempted eradication of EAB, but these efforts were unsuccessful and were later abandoned in favor of management.
