Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 525-534, November 2026.Optimal growing temperatures varied with mountain pine beetle‐associated fungal species. There was only a marginal impact of temperature on the response of fungi to defensive monoterpenes of novel host pine. Interspecific facilitation occurred for Leptiographuim longiclavatum when grown in Ophiostoma montium‐induced treatments at optimal temperatures ...

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 677-684, November 2026.Slash retention increased ambrosia beetle activity in Khaya grandifoliola, acting as both breeding substrate and source of attractive volatile cues that promoted localized population buildup. Beetle attacks occurred only near retained slash, while no attacks were recorded in slash‐removal plots, demonstrating that residue removal effectively prevents ...

Mechanisms of Odor Coding in Coniferous Bark Beetles: From Neuron to Behavior and Application
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2012 Coniferous bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) locate their hosts by means of olfactory signals, such as pheromone, host, and nonhost compounds. Behavioral responses to these volatiles are well documented.
