Mechanisms of Odor Coding in Coniferous Bark Beetles: From Neuron to Behavior and Application
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.

Early evolutionary history of the seed
ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

ABSTRACT Triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) constitute a prominent class of cellular structures and have gained considerable attention in current research. These structures are genus‐infinite surfaces with zero mean curvature, which prevents self‐intersection. They also exhibit periodicity in all three spatial directions and exhibit enhanced multi‐

Ectomycorrhizal response to bark beetle attack: a comparison of dead and surviving trees
Bark beetle outbreaks have become increasingly prevalent and intense, causing widespread tree mortality and altering forest ecosystems globally. In this study, we investigate the dynamics between tree root systems of the Norway spruce and ectomycorrhizal

Deep Learning for Satellite‐Based Forest Disturbance Monitoring: Recent Advances and Challenges
Overview of key research challenges in forest disturbance monitoring, including the detection of disturbances of varying severity, the attribution of disturbance agents, and the development of models capable of generalizing across regions. ABSTRACT Climate change and land use pressures are intensifying forest disturbances in many world regions, as ...

Dynamics of Scots pine health after the release of Thanasimus formicarius in bark beetle foci
In Eastern Polissia, a severe decline of Scots pine started in 2015. It was caused by drought and aggravated by outbreaks of Ips acuminatus (Gyllenhal, 1827) followed by Ips sexdentatus (Börner, 1776).

The first draft genome of Sirex noctilio was produced. Fifteen S. noctilio transcriptomes were sequenced to study chemosensory gene expression patterns. SnocOR16 and SnocSNMP1 displayed tissue‐ and sex‐specific expression patterns. Abstract The Sirex woodwasp (Sirex noctilio; Hymenoptera: Siricidae) is among the most destructive invasive pests ...

Working Paper 31: Climate Change Impacts on Bark Beetle Outbreaks and the Impact of Outbreaks on Subsequent Fires. [PDF]
The Insect Bark beetles are small insects that can have profound impacts on forests. While some species of bark beetles primarily attack trees that are recently dead or dying, others attack live, vigorous trees and can cause tree mortality across ...
