As resources are limited, surveillance activities must be as effective and efficient as possible. We used a bioeconomic model to develop an optimal surveillance programme for six priority quarantine and two quarantine forest pests in Switzerland. We aimed to minimize costs of management (i.e., surveillance and eradication) for species that are mandated for eradication based on collaborative biosecurity agreements with the European Union. The model determined optimal surveillance effort, accounting for differences in introduction likelihood, detectability, and spread rates, across pests and locales. The model suggested a likely underestimate of optimal investment of 1,187,000 CHF per year for surveillance using visual surveys and insect or spore traps, depending on the target species. Survey recommendations varied across locales and pest types with the greatest surveillance effort for&nbsp;<em>Agrilus planipennis<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Bursaphelenchus xylophilus<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Dendrolimus sibiricus<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Fusarium circinatum<\/em>, and&nbsp;<em>Phytophthora ramorum<\/em>. Surveillance trapping would be economically irrational for two pests (<em>Anoplophora glabripennis<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>A. chinensis<\/em>), primarily because of high probability of background detection by the public, and low efficacy of formal surveys and low spread rates. The model indicates where in Switzerland surveillance yields the highest economic return, with greater survey effort in areas with highest introduction risk and for species with low likelihoods of public detection and fast spread rates. The model indicates that the use of more effective trapping methods and an increase in public awareness could reduce the needed investments in formal surveillance activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Graphical abstract<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\" id=\"f0030\"><a class=\"anchor download-link u-font-sans anchor-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/ars.els-cdn.com\/content\/image\/1-s2.0-S0921800926001382-ga1_lrg.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ars.els-cdn.com\/content\/image\/1-s2.0-S0921800926001382-ga1.jpg\" alt=\"Unlabelled Image\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keywords<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Asian longhorn beetle;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bioeconomic model;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Biological invasions;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emerald ash borer;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Invasive pests;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Risk-based surveillance<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001412\">Previous article&nbsp;in this issue<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001229\">Next article&nbsp;in this issue<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"st0030\">1.&nbsp;Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Invasive forest pests can have devastating effects on forest health worldwide (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0070\">Brockerhoff and Liebhold, 2017<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0270\">Nahrung and Carnegie, 2020<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0350\">Ramsfield et al., 2016<\/a>), damaging or killing trees and reducing ecosystem services provided by forests (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0190\">Freer-Smith and Webber, 2017<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0345\">Raffa et al., 2023<\/a>).

Therefore, detecting invasive species as early as possible in the invasion process is critical and serves as a primary motivation for phytosanitary agencies in many countries to invest in surveillance programs for the early detection of new pest introductions (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0075\">Brockerhoff et al., 2010<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Surveillance for detecting new invasive species incursions is often carried out by national plant protection organizations (NPPOs) with limited resources, making cost-efficient design a key criterion (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0170\">Epanchin-Niell, 2017<\/a>). These programs are typically implemented at a national or regional level, across heterogeneous landscapes, and potentially for several target organisms. This involves trade-offs among species and locations, where the net benefits of different options depend on a range of species-specific and location-specific factors, such as introduction probabilities and spread rates, as well as survey and control costs (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0180\">Epanchin-Niell et al., 2012<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0425\">Welsh et al., 2021<\/a>).

To limit the spread and damage caused by particularly dangerous harmful organisms in the forest, Switzerland participates in international plant health measures. Within the framework of a bilateral agricultural agreement with the European Union (EU), Switzerland ensures the equivalence of phytosanitary regulations to enable the free movement of goods with the EU. The Swiss phytosanitary legislation therefore contains equivalent provisions to those of EU law. It is legally mandated that Switzerland conducts annual surveillance for six priority quarantine forest pests (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0320\">Pflanzengesundheitsverordnung, PGesV, 2018<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0325\">PGesV-WBF-UVEK, 2019<\/a>). In addition, this survey program also includes two additional quarantine pests (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#t0005\">Table 1<\/a>, Table S1) (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0415\">VpM-BAFU, 2017<\/a>). The program specifies that upon detection of any quarantine pest, the initial response must be eradication. Only if eradication becomes infeasible shall the mandated course of action switch to containment (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0320\">Pflanzengesundheitsverordnung, PGesV, 2018<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0325\">PGesV-WBF-UVEK, 2019<\/a>). To enable earlier detection of these species and hence lower costs and higher likelihood of success of attempted eradication if a population were to be detected, Switzerland&#8217;s NPPO decided to implement a risk-based surveillance program. Risk-based surveillance in this context can be defined as surveillance that prioritizes monitoring efforts based on both the likelihood of a pest occurrence and its potential impact. The quarantine species can be surveyed using searches for visual symptoms, as well as spore and insect traps in selected plots. Some survey plots can target several organisms at once if the species share the same host tree species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"sp0030\">Table 1.&nbsp;Overview of forest pest species surveyed in the described program. \u2018prioQO\u2019 are priority quarantine organisms \u2018QO\u2019 are quarantine organisms (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0320\">Pflanzengesundheitsverordnung, PGesV, 2018<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0325\">PGesV-WBF-UVEK, 2019<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Species<\/th><th>Type<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><em>Agrilus anxius<\/em>&nbsp;Gory, bronze birch borer (BBB)<\/td><td>Coleoptera, Buprestidae; phloem- and wood boring larvae (prioQO)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><em>Agrilus planipennis<\/em>&nbsp;Fairmaire, emerald ash borer (EAB)<\/td><td>Coleoptera, Buprestidae; phloem- and wood-boring larvae (prioQO)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><em>Anoplophora glabripennis<\/em>&nbsp;Motschulsky, Asian longhorn beetle (ALB)<\/td><td>Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, wood boring larvae (prioQO)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><em>Anoplophora chinensis<\/em>&nbsp;Forster, citrus longhorn beetle (CLB)<\/td><td>Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, wood boring larvae (prioQO)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><em>Bursaphelenchus xylophilus<\/em>&nbsp;Steiner&amp;Buhrer, pine wood nematode (PWN)<\/td><td>Aphelenchida, Parasitaphelenchidae, plant parasitic nematode (prioQO)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><em>Dendrolimus sibiricus<\/em>&nbsp;Tschetverikov, Siberian silkmoth (SSM)<\/td><td>Lepidoptera, Lasiocampidae, needle-feeding larvae (prioQO)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><em>Fusarium circinatum<\/em>&nbsp;Nirenberg&amp;O&#8217;Donnell, pine pitch canker (PPC)<\/td><td>Hypocreales, Nectriaceae, pathogenic fungus (QO)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><em>Phytophthora ramorum<\/em>&nbsp;Werres, De Cock &amp; Man in&#8217;t Veld, sudden oak death (SOD)<\/td><td>Pythiales, Pythiaceae, oomycete plant pathogen (QO)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Because eradication is mandated for these quarantine pests, regardless of the specific damages they might cause within Switzerland, we here focus on designing a surveillance program in a way that minimizes anticipated survey and eradication costs across these species. Specifically, our approach accounts for the increasing expected costs of eradication with increasing pest incursion size, such that earlier detection can reduce the expected costs borne by authorities in the case of pest establishment. Our approach builds on past studies aimed at optimizing surveillance activities for the management of invasive pests. For example, prior work has focused on minimizing survey and eradication costs for a single species (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0180\">Epanchin-Niell et al., 2012<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0410\">Venette et al., 2010<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0455\">Yemshanov et al., 2019<\/a>) or optimizing surveys and control responses across generalized pest types (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0185\">Epanchin-Niell et al., 2014<\/a>).

We built on this prior literature to address a specific policy problem faced by Switzerland and other locales (i.e., mandated attempted eradication), with application to specific policy-relevant pests. The pests surveyed are diverse: five species of insects (wood-or bark-boring beetles and a lepidopteran defoliator), and three tree pathogens (a nematode, a fungus, and an oomycete) (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#t0005\">Table 1<\/a>, Table S1).

Following establishment, a pest spreads (e.g., through natural dispersal and human-assisted spread), occupying a greater area in each subsequent year, which we represent using an age class model, specifying the areal size of the invasion in each year following establishment (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#f0005\">Fig. 1<\/a>). The likelihood of detection in each year depends on the detection effort and efficacy, as well as the size of the infested area. We assume that a pest incursion can be detected by passive surveillance (e.g., detection by the public or citizen science) or through formal survey effort. The model, in turn, optimizes the level of formal survey effort for each species and across locales to minimize the combined costs of surveillance and eradication over time (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#f0005\">Fig. 1<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"st0055\">2.3.&nbsp;Model details<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We describe the mathematical details of the model next.

These data (from 2015 to 2021) were obtained from Swiss Customs and summarised per district. \u2018Inhabitants\u2019 refers to district population, according to the, 2019 census. Both component metrics (i.e., the number of inhabitants and imports of relevant goods for the respective organism) were scaled by dividing each by the district maximum, assigning the maximum value of that measure to be \u20181\u2019. This ensured both variables were scaled to be equally important, capturing the roles of imports and the additional movement of organisms by people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time of modelling, ALB and CLB had established populations near the Swiss border in France, Germany, and Italy (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0060\">Branco et al., 2021<\/a>), posing additional introduction risk. For these species we included an additional introduction risk measure based on road distance to nearby active outbreaks, accounting for hitchhiking pathways like firewood (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0275\">Nardi et al., 2025<\/a>). Distance from each outbreak to the capital (or, if not available, to the largest city) of the respective districts was measured using the ORS tools plugin in QGIS v3.16 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0335\">QGIS Development Team, 2020<\/a>). Distances greater than 300&nbsp;km were capped, corresponding to Eurostat&#8217;s (the statistical office of the European Union) definition of the maximum daily short-distance mobility. Recognizing that introduction risk declines with distance from the source of an organism and that the vast majority of trips are within the maximum daily short-distance mobility, we assumed an inverse logarithmic relation between distance and likelihood of introduction:(8)<math><mi mathvariant=\"italic\" is=\"true\">Invlog<\/mi><mo is=\"true\">_<\/mo><mi mathvariant=\"italic\" is=\"true\">dist<\/mi><mo linebreak=\"goodbreak\" is=\"true\">=<\/mo><mfrac is=\"true\"><mn is=\"true\">1<\/mn><mrow is=\"true\"><mi mathvariant=\"italic\" is=\"true\">log<\/mi><mfenced open=\"(\" close=\")\" is=\"true\"><mrow is=\"true\"><mi mathvariant=\"italic\" is=\"true\">Distance in<\/mi><mspace width=\"0.25em\" is=\"true\"><\/mspace><mi mathvariant=\"italic\" is=\"true\">km<\/mi><\/mrow><\/mfenced><\/mrow><\/mfrac><mo linebreak=\"badbreak\" is=\"true\">\u2212<\/mo><mfrac is=\"true\"><mn is=\"true\">1<\/mn><mrow is=\"true\"><mi mathvariant=\"italic\" is=\"true\">log<\/mi><mfenced open=\"(\" close=\")\" is=\"true\"><mn is=\"true\">300<\/mn><\/mfenced><\/mrow><\/mfrac><\/math><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Afterwards, the Invlog_dist was scaled to a maximum value of 1.

All inventory included host species for all target organisms, but with different relative abundance.

We found no spatial autocorrelation among urban tree compositions (Mantel statistic r: 0.0193,&nbsp;<em>p<\/em>&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;0.05). However, Switzerland is geographically diverse, with four national languages, and we found that a location&#8217;s linguistic region (bilingual French\/German, French, German, or Italian) significantly explained the tree species composition (pairwise permutational analysis of variance,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#t0010\">Table 2<\/a>). For these analyses, we excluded trees of genera that occur less than ten times in total in all urban tree inventories combined to exclude the strong effect of these rare trees because permutational analyses of variance (PERMANOVA) is sensitive to differences in relative dispersion of points among groups (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0390\">Staudhammer et al., 2018<\/a>).

This survey program is estimated to provide an expected annualized net benefit equivalent to approximately $2,946,521CHF per year relative to without a formal surveillance program. We discuss the distribution and magnitude of survey investments below, including some results that were initially surprising. For example, no investment was allocated to ALB and CLB, even though both are highly damaging and have been intercepted in Switzerland previously. Additionally, limited investment is directed toward Ticino, the region of Switzerland south of the Alps, even though the first detections of invasive species have often been made in this region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"st0180\">4.1.&nbsp;Influence of pest attributes on model outcomes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Running the model on generalized pest types that have attribute values within the range (lowest to highest) of the priority quarantine pests in our study provided information about the relative influence of the various factors (i.e., annual establishment probability, public detection rate, spread rate, and survey efficacy). Organisms with low establishment rates received lower suggested survey investments than species with higher establishment probabilities. Similarly, species with lower spread rates tended to have lower optimal survey levels. In contrast, species with lower survey efficacy tended to have higher recommended survey investments. Public detection rate had a more pronounced effect than other factors we explored, as the model did not assign any investment to organisms with high public detection rates, regardless of other pest attributes (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#f0025\">Fig. 5<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"st0185\">4.2.&nbsp;Optimal investment in total<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The suggested optimum annual survey investment of 1,187,000 CHF may seem low when considering that an eradication program for a single ALB outbreak in the Swiss city of Winterthur in 2012 cost at least 3.3 million CHF (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0290\">Oberpriller et al., 2017<\/a>). Interpretation of the investment level depends on rarity of district-level establishments, likelihood of public detection, and modelling assumptions. For example, we assume that eradication costs depend on the incursion size when detected, but our analysis does not consider i) how likely eradication of each particular target organism is to be successful, ii) the magnitude of direct and indirect damage costs of an outbreak (e.g., loss of ecosystem services), or iii) trade effects (e.g., reduced internal trade or export of affected resources). The focus on eradication costs was based on the explicit guidance that attempted eradication is the legally mandated response for the organisms considered. Therefore, survey and eradication costs are key budgetary concerns. Accounting for eradication success of damages would likely raise optimal survey investments, especially as eradication becomes less likely with higher outbreak size (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0400\">Tobin et al., 2014<\/a>).

Non-market costs, like ecological, aesthetic, or spiritual or cultural costs of an outbreak could be high (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0050\">Bradshaw et al., 2016<\/a>), but reliable information for these costs is rarely available (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0425\">Welsh et al., 2021<\/a>). Hence, the identified optimal investment of &gt;1 million CHF per year for surveillance is highly likely to be an underestimation. In 2025 and 2026, the Swiss surveillance program was conducted with 75 trapping locations, which would equate to a yearly investment of 600,000 CHF as calculated in this model. Including costs that would increase suggested optimal investment would be unlikely to raise the allocated investment in practice due to limited funds of the Federal Office for the Environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"st0190\">4.3.&nbsp;Prioritization of organisms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The model suggested investing more in location types used to survey two species at the same time, and for EAB (monitored alone). Comparably, little (\u223c1.2%) was suggested to be allocated to locations used to survey for BBB, and no investment was suggested for ALB and CLB. The relatively low suggested survey investment for BBB can be explained by the low introduction probability, which reduces the benefits of the surveys. BBB and SSM are the only organisms to be surveyed that have not yet become established outside their native range (BAFU and KoK, 2017; EFSA et al., 2020d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast to BBB, several interceptions and establishments of ALB, along with at least one post-border interception of CLB, have been identified in Switzerland (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0060\">Branco et al., 2021<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0430\">Wermelinger, 2006<\/a>). Still, the model did not allocate investment to survey these species. Two main factors can explain this counterintuitive finding: i) the public detection rate is high, and ii) the spread rates of ALB and CLB are low. The high public detection rate allows the pest to be detected even without any dedicated survey investment. The slow spread rate causes their population to remain small for a longer period after their establishment making them less costly to eradicate than faster spreading species. Our analysis of generalized pest types suggests these two factors have strong effects (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#f0025\">Fig. 5<\/a>): the model never allocated investments to organisms with the highest public detection rate (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#f0025\">Fig. 5<\/a>, C, F, I). However, it did allocate investments to organisms with lower public detection rates but low survey efficacy (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#f0025\">Fig. 5<\/a>&nbsp;A, B). Indeed, many first detections of ALB and CLB have been facilitated by passive surveillance (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0060\">Branco et al., 2021<\/a>). Both insect species are charismatic organisms that are as large or larger than the biggest native longhorn beetles, and distinctive from them \u2013 and therefore very well suited for detection by passive surveillance or citizen scientists (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0080\">Brown et al., 2020<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0100\">Ciampitti and Cavagna, 2014<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0195\">de Groot et al., 2023<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0240\">Kompas et al., 2023<\/a>). As an alternative to active trapping, public awareness campaigns might be a better investment in the early detection of these species than formal survey efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Allocation of surveys across species may have been even further differentiated if eradication, market or non-market damage costs were considered. For example, SOD has a much wider host range than BBB (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0130\">EFSA, 2011<\/a>; EFSA et al., 2020d). Therefore, a SOD outbreak might be more costly than a BBB outbreak. However, these data were not part of the regulatory scope and are not available in a standardized way. This assumption could lead to less homogeneous costs of an outbreak for different organisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"st0195\">4.4.&nbsp;Geographical distribution of suggested sampling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The model allocated most investment for surveillance in the central plateau of Switzerland, which is the region with the highest economic activity and human population density. While this is in line with other studies (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0185\">Epanchin-Niell et al., 2014<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0240\">Kompas et al., 2023<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0280\">Nguyen et al., 2024<\/a>), it is noteworthy that many invasive species in Switzerland are first found in its southernmost canton, Ticino. For example, the ambrosia beetle&nbsp;<em>Anisandrus maiche<\/em>&nbsp;was first detected in Ticino (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0355\">Ribeiro-Correia et al., 2024<\/a>), as well as the Japanese beetle&nbsp;<em>Popilia japonica<\/em>&nbsp;(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0005\">Agroscope, 2017<\/a>) and the powdery mildew&nbsp;<em>Erysiphe corylacearum<\/em>&nbsp;on hazelnut (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0035\">Beenken et al., 2020<\/a>). Therefore, it might be a surprise that only a small share of the suggested yearly investment was allocated to the districts in this canton, especially because there are active outbreaks of ALB and CLB in Northern Italy (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0060\">Branco et al., 2021<\/a>). However, there are active outbreaks of ALB close to the border of Switzerland in Germany and France (to the time of model running, S.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0060\">Branco et al., 2021<\/a>). The model does not allocate surveillance investment for ALB and CLB because of their high public detection rate, as discussed above. For the other organisms, no outbreaks close (i.e., &lt; 300&nbsp;km driving distance) to the Swiss border are known, and, therefore, these organisms are more likely to be introduced by long-distance transport of goods. Economic activity and human population are higher in other parts of Switzerland than in Ticino, which are key factors driving surveillance investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most forest pests that are new to Switzerland and first found in Ticino are likely to have spread after earlier introductions to bordering regions in northern Italy, an economically active and highly populated region. Northern Italy has been identified as a hotspot of first introductions of plant pests in Europe (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0055\">Branco et al., 2019<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0360\">Rosace et al., 2025<\/a>). This highlights a general weakness of national surveillance programs: in principle, they treat countries like islands, even if potential short-distance transport or natural spread is considered, as we did in the model for ALB and CLB. While our approach only partially considered neighbouring countries, it did consider all districts of Switzerland, including those with low economic activity, low population density, or low ecological suitability, as suggested by previous work with bioeconomic models to optimize surveillance (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0185\">Epanchin-Niell et al., 2014<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0255\">Mastin et al., 2020<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the parameter \u2018Ecological Suitability\u2019 for the different organisms, we did not include climatic suitability, because no fine-scale data on Swiss microclimates are available and we expect first introductions of these organisms to occur in urban or peri-urban environments (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0055\">Branco et al., 2019<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0305\">Paap et al., 2017<\/a>). The climate in these environments is subject to the urban heat island effect (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0300\">Oke, 1982<\/a>), with urban areas up to 10&nbsp;\u00b0C warmer than surrounding environments. The intensity of this phenomenon can vary greatly among different cities due to spatial planning differences (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0370\">Schwaab et al., 2021<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We used host availability as defining measure for environmental suitability. In Switzerland, urban and forest tree composition differ considerably (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0015\">Augustinus et al., 2024<\/a>). Therefore, we needed to consider urban tree inventory and forest inventory data separately. This approach resulted in the suggestion of trapping investment in locations that would not be considered if only forest trees were considered. For example, sampling on pine (<em>Pinus<\/em>&nbsp;sp.) trees was suggested for several locations in the central plateau of Switzerland (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#f0020\">Fig. 4<\/a>D). Since pines occur naturally mainly in mountainous areas (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0065\">Br\u00e4ndli et al., 2020<\/a>), this shows how including urban trees in surveys for forest pests changes optimal allocation for surveillance efforts. The finding that urban tree compositions differed in between language regions illustrates that it is important to consider cultural effects on planting preferences. In this case, planting preferences influenced which pests are most likely to have detrimental impacts on cities and surrounding forests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"st0200\">5.&nbsp;Limitations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One key factor influencing the spread of an invasive organism is whether the organism has overcome the initial lag phase of the invasion process. EFSA&#8217;s analyses assign potential yearly spread to hypothetical populations, that have established and reached high population densities. This means that these values do not consider the initial lag phase of the invasion of the organisms, in which spread can be dramatically slower. However, lag times can be influenced by many factors (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0115\">Crooks, 2005<\/a>), and the biology of the target organisms we dealt with is not well-known enough to make trustworthy predictions of lag times of their invasion processes. Therefore, we decided to exclude potential lag phases from the analyses. Historical local changes like land-use change and earlier survey efforts, as well as prior incursions could shift likelihood of introduction and detection (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0195\">de Groot et al., 2023<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0921800926001382?via%3Dihub#bb0295\">O&#8217;Donnell et al., 2024<\/a>). Including these factors could further refine the model outputs.Conclusions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, we show how a bioeconomic model can be used to optimize national surveillance for invasive priority quarantine forest pests. This can be used to prioritize economically sensible choices for species and locations to survey. In general, we found that higher trapping efficacy, lower establishment probabilities, lower spread rates, and trapping locations surveying for fewer organisms simultaneously resulted in a lower amount of suggested survey investment. Most clearly, higher public detection rates resulted in lower recommended survey investment. Therefore, using more efficient traps (e.g., by using more specialized semiochemicals), increased phytosanitary measures, and increased public awareness could reduce the required surveillance investments for invasive forest pests and overall costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Future models could explore which parameters have the biggest effect on survey investment per organism, to inform optimization of surveillance, and could be used for a larger geographic area to inform international collaboration on quarantine pest surveillance. Furthermore, alternative objectives to the mandated eradication \u2013 like the choice to either contain or eradicate \u2013 could be included in models to make them more economically rational and applicable in national surveillance schemes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"st0205\">Declaration of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the manuscript preparation process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During the preparation of this work the authors used ChatGPT-5 to shorten parts of the manuscript in an early draft version.
