Symbiotic Fungi of an Ambrosia Beetle Alter the Volatile Bouquet of Cork Oak Seedlings

Phytopathology®, 2022
In Portugal, fungal symbionts of the ambrosia beetle Platypus cylindrus affect tree vigor of cork oak (Quercus suber) and are linked with the cork oak decline process. Fungal symbionts play crucial roles in the life history of bark and ambrosia beetles and recent work indicates complex interactions on the fungal and plant metabolic level.

An Ambrosia Beetle Xyleborus affinis Eichhoff, 1868 (Insecta: Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae)

EDIS, 2015
Xyleborus affinis is one of the most widespread and common ambrosia beetles in the world. It is also very common in Florida. Like other ambrosia beetles, it bores tunnels into the xylem of weakened, cut or injured trees and farms gardens of symbiotic ...

Exotic ambrosia beetles and phytopathogenic fungi associated with rapid apple decline in North Carolina. [PDF]

J Econ Entomol
Abstract Rapid apple decline is a syndrome primarily affecting young (<6 yr old) apple trees planted in high-density orchards throughout the eastern United States and Canada. Despite the sudden death of thousands of apple trees in North America, no definitive biotic or abiotic cause of rapid apple decline has been identified ...

A Reference DNA Barcode Library for UK Fungi associated with Bark and Ambrosia Beetles. [PDF]

Sci Data
Abstract Bark and ambrosia beetles are ecologically important and widespread forest organisms. While flying between host plants and tunnelling into bark, they vector a high diversity of plant and insect-associated fungi within and between forests. These fungal communities live under the bark and rarely produce visible spore-bearing structures,

Fungal Flora in Adult Females of the Rearing Population of Ambrosia Beetle Euwallacea interjectus (Blandford) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae): Does It Differ from the Wild Population?

Diversity, 2022
Ambrosia beetles bore into host trees, and live with fungi symbiotically that serve as a food source. However, it is challenging to directly observe these beetles in the wild.

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 ...

Fungal metabolic profile dataset was not influenced by long-term in vitro preservation of strains

Data in Brief, 2019
Comparative ecophysiology is highly valuable approach to reveal adaptive traits linked with specific ecological niches. Although long-term in vitro preserved fungal isolates are often used for analyses, only sparse data is available about the effect of ...

Impact of Rearing Conditions on the Ambrosia Beetle’s Microbiome

Life, 2018
Ambrosia beetles, along with termites and leafcutter ants, are the only fungus-farming lineages within the tree of life. Bacteria harbored by ambrosia beetles may play an essential role in the nutritional symbiotic interactions with their associated ...

A checklist of xyleborine ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Scolytinae, Xyleborini) on a single fallen chinquapin tree (Castanopsis inermis) from Thailand: with a new species and a new country record [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal
The tribe Xyleborini comprises over 1,300 species of ambrosia beetles, all of which form mutualistic relationships with fungi. Several beetle species exhibit strong host preferences, particularly within the plant family Fagaceae for genera such as ...
