Pine shoot beetle, Tomicus piniperda (Linnaeus) : analysis of regulatory options for Canada / Bryan E.C. Bogdanski … [et al.]. : Fo143-2/443E-PDF

“The pine shoot beetle (PSB), Tomicus piniperda, an invasive forest species introduced to Canada in the late 1980’s or early 1990’s, is a federally regulated species. Since 1994 a federal quarantine has been imposed to regulate the movement of at-risk pine commodities, including logs and firewood, and nursery stock. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the spread of the pine shoot beetle from its current range of southern Ontario and Quebec. This study emulated a study conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture in 2015. The findings of the study indicate that under conservative assumptions, it is very unlikely that the current regulatory program is beneficial. The results suggest there is likely little downside risk to deregulating the pine shoot beetle. The very low estimated mortality caused by Tomicus piniperda on native pine species in Canada underpins the analysis”--Executive summary, p. iv.
