    Article Forest Regeneration Following Emerald Ash Borer (Agrilus planipennis Fairemaire) Enhances Mesophication in Eastern Hardwood Forests Benjamin Dolan 1,* ID and Jason Kilgore 2 ID 1 Department of Biology, University of Findlay, 1000 North Main Street, Findlay, OH 45840 USA 2 Biology Department, Washington & Jefferson College, 60 South Lincoln Street, Washington, PA 15301 USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: dolan@findlay.edu; Tel.: +1-419-434-5530 Received: 9 March 2018; Accepted: 10 May 2018; Published: 14 June 2018 Abstract: Emerald ash borer (EAB, Agrilus planipennis Fairemaire) is a phloem-feeding beetle that was introduced into North America in the late 20th century and is causing widespread mortality of native ash (Fraxinus) species. The loss of an entire genus from the forest flora is a substantial disturbance, but effects vary because of differences in Fraxinus dominance and remaining vegetation. At three sites near the center of the North American EAB range, we investigated the impacts of Fraxinus mortality on recruitment of woody and non-native vegetation in 14 permanent plots from 2012 to 2017. We used the change in relative Fraxinus basal area to determine the impact of EAB on density of woody species and non-native vegetation less than 2.5 cm diameter at breast height (dbh). Changes in canopy cover were not correlated with loss of Fraxinus from the overstory, and only the density of shade-tolerant shrubs and saplings increased with Fraxinus mortality. Both native and non-native shrub species increased in density at sites where they were present before EAB, but no new invasions were detected following Fraxinus mortality.

Every day they change lives by sharing their Rebecca Keenan, Scott McGuinness, passion for their subjects. They draw aside the curtain and suddenly we see the Anna Mae Moore, miracle of the human body. They transport us to the battlefields of Normandy Sarah Sperry, and we sense the drama of war. Through their eyes, we see the elegance of a Tina Tuminella ’94 mathematical proof or the beauty of a haiku. But they do more than this. Great Design teachers model for us the essence of what it means to be human: integrity, The VisuGroup, Martina Thomas precision, common sense, and lifelong curiosity. Editorial Assistant Pamela Norris As I travel around the country, I meet alumni whose eyes sparkle as they describe their favorite professors.
