Integrating landscape ecology into generic surveillance plans for bark‐ and wood‐boring beetles

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract International trade poses a growing threat to global biosecurity, with bark‐ and wood‐boring beetles representing a major concern for forest health. Non‐native species are frequently introduced at points of entry, where populations can establish in the surrounding landscape.

Patterns of functional enzyme activity in fungus farming ambrosia beetles

Frontiers in Zoology, 2012
Introduction In wood-dwelling fungus-farming weevils, the so-called ambrosia beetles (Curculionidae: Scolytinae and Platypodinae), wood in the excavated tunnels is used as a medium for cultivating fungi by the combined action of digging larvae (which ...

Does biotic resistance govern forest invasions by bark and ambrosia beetles?

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
The theory of biotic resistance states that community diversity promotes resistance to biological invasions. This theory has been widely explored for its ability to explain variation in habitat invasibility to non‐native plant species and while the theory holds in some systems, it does not in others.

Climate Change, Air Quality, and Pollen Allergies—State of the Art and Recommendations for Research and Public Health

Allergy, Volume 81, Issue 3, Page 663-683, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Allergies are one of the major health challenges of our time, associated with a high individual burden of disease and high costs for the healthcare system. Given their prevalence, allergies are also highly relevant from a public health perspective. The development of allergic diseases is multifactorial. In addition to individual factors (e.g.,

Evidence for Succession and Putative Metabolic Roles of Fungi and Bacteria in the Farming Mutualism of the Ambrosia Beetle Xyleborus affinis

mSystems, 2020
The bacterial and fungal community involved in ambrosia beetle fungiculture remains poorly studied compared to the famous fungus-farming ants and termites.

Sound production in bark and ambrosia beetles [PDF]

Bioacoustics, 2019
Bark and ambrosia beetles and pinhole borers (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae and Platypodinae) are two subfamilies of weevils that use acoustic communication within plant tissue. These insects transmit and detect sound in a medium that is neither air nor water and they are among the smallest animals with sound-producing organs.

Forest Heterogeneity by Chain Saw: How Between‐Patch Variation in Old Growth Attributes Changes the Metacommunities of Beetles

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 3, March 2026.
Metacommunity theory has expanded our understanding of how spatial dynamics and local interactions influence species communities, but we lack empirical studies specifically in terrestrial habitats testing which archetype is most important. In a replicated design we experimentally enhanced structural between‐patch heterogeneity in homogeneous production

Phylogeny of ambrosia beetle symbionts in the genus Raffaelea [PDF]

Fungal Biology, 2014
The genus Raffaelea was established in 1965 when the type species, Raffaelea ambrosia, a symbiont of Platypus ambrosia beetles was described. Since then, many additional ambrosia beetle symbionts have been added to the genus, including the important tree pathogens Raffaelea quercivora, Raffaelea quercus-mongolicae, and Raffaelea lauricola, causal ...
