Biological invasions dramatically increased over the last decades due to the intensification of international trade. These invasions constitute a threat for ecosystems and many anthropic activities, therefore it is crucial to understand underlying processes in order to better predict and manage their impacts. In this PhD thesis, I explore the potential of dispersion of native and non-native species involved in a novel phoretic association. I focus on the case of the association between a pest for pine forests, the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) introduced in Europe, and its endemic insect vector (Monochamus galloprovincialis). I first estimated gene flows of the insect vector alone in order to identify the barriers and corridors to dispersal of this species. Then I have simulated the spatial spread of the nematode-vector couple using a spread model, and accounting for the synergistic effect of this novel association. The results obtained during this PhD showed that the invasive nematode has an important potential to spread through this phoretic association. However, some environmental features such as elevation, areas with low temperatures, and the high pine densities constitute barriers to dispersal of the vector and so, potential obstacles to the spread of the invasive nematode. Beyond these results focused on the model of study, this thesis has led to the development of several methods that may be adapted to other cases of novel phoretic association and, by extension, may contribute to a better understanding of dispersal of species involved in those complex and poorly known systems.
