New research shows how emphasizing collaboration and local knowledge in China can advance preparation for responding to invasive insects that could threaten North American tree species. Native to eastern Asia, the citrus longhorned beetle (Anoplophora chinensis) is one such species noted in the study, noted for its capacity to infest and kill live pecan trees (Carya illinoinensis).
