, 2023 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 ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Many wood-boring insects use aggregation pheromones during mass colonization of host trees. Bark beetles (Curculionidae: Scolytinae) are a model system, but much less is known about the role of semiochemicals during host selection by ambrosia beetles. As

Redbay Ambrosia Beetle Xyleborus glabratus Eichhoff (Insecta: Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae)
EDIS, 2011 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 ...

Plasticity of mycangia in Xylosandrus ambrosia beetles [PDF]
Insect Science, 2018 AbstractInsects that depend on microbial mutualists evolved a variety of organs to transport the microsymbionts while dispersing. The ontogeny and variability of such organs is rarely studied, and the microsymbiont's effects on the animal tissue development remain unknown in most cases.

Larval helpers and age polyethism in ambrosia beetles [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011 Division of labor among the workers of insect societies is a conspicuous feature of their biology. Social tasks are commonly shared among age groups but not between larvae and adults with completely different morphologies, as in bees, wasps, ants, and beetles (i.e., Holometabola).
