Global climate change is increasing the rate of range expansion for many species across the globe, creating an urgency to understand the variables involved in predicting the spread of the hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA;
Adelges tsugae) throughout forests of the eastern United States.
Trunk injection of imidacloprid was conducted using the Mauget system on Eastern hemlocks, Tsuga canadensis (L.) Carriere (Pinales: Pinaceae), to determine its effectiveness on the hemlock woolly adelgid,

Sasajiscymnus tsugae (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) has been reared as a predator that specifically targets the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (HWA, Hemiptera: Adelgidae:

More recent perturbations include the introduction of the balsam woody adelgid (

Adelges tsugae Annand) and little regeneration is expected (Orwig and Foster, 1998; Preisser et al., 2011).
Eastern hemlock is threatened with decline due to the hemlock woolly adelgid (
Adelges tsugae) with outbreaks causing widespread mortality of hemlock in Connecticut and elsewhere in the Appalachian Mountains (Orwig et al.
But over the last few decades, the eastern and Carolina hemlocks have been under attack by a small sucking insect called the hemlock woolly adelgid (
Adelges tsugae), or HWA.
