Use of Semiochemicals for the Management of the Redbay Ambrosia Beetle. [PDF]
This review highlights current advances in the management of the redbay ambrosia beetle, Xyleborus glabratus, a primary vector of the pathogenic fungus, Raffaelea lauricola, that causes laurel wilt. Laurel wilt has a detrimental effect on forest ecosystems of southeastern USA, with hundreds of millions of Lauraceae deaths.

Redbay Ambrosia Beetle Xyleborus glabratus Eichhoff (Insecta: Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae)
Ambrosia beetles are wood-degrading insects that live in nutritional symbiosis with ambrosia fungi. Usually we consider ambrosia beetles beneficial because they accelerate the decay of dead trees, which is important for nutrient cycling in healthy ...

AbstractThe term “ambrosia beetles” refers to an ecological strategy shared by thousands of species of wood-boring weevils from multiple lineages, rather than a single taxonomic group. Most ambrosia beetle groups evolved from within the bark battles (Curculionidae; Scolytinae), which are a diverse group of weevils which bore into trees and whose ...

Cooperative Breeding in the Ambrosia Beetle Xyleborus affinis and Management of Its Fungal Symbionts
Fungus-farming is known from attine ants, macrotermites, and ambrosia beetles (Scolytinae, Platypodinae). Farming ant and termite societies are superorganismal and grow fungal cultivars in monocultures.
