A dynamical model for bark beetle outbreaks [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2016 Tree-killing bark beetles are major disturbance agents affecting coniferous forest ecosystems. The role of environmental conditions on driving beetle outbreaks is becoming increasingly important as global climatic change alters environmental factors, such as drought stress, that, in turn, govern tree resistance.

A review on the strategies for bark beetle management
Practices in Science and TechnologyGlobal forest decline has accelerated as a result of climate change's increasing sensitivity to forest ecosystems. Bark beetle outbreaks have grown to be a serious biotic hazard over the last century, resulting in extensive tree death.

Science, 1970 KINZER et al.1 have recently reported the identification and synthesis of the bicyclic compound, frontalin. We wish to question the validity of some of their conclusions in the light of earlier work by this group at the Boyce Thompson Institute and Battelle Memorial Institute.

, 2023 AbstractBark beetles often feed on dead or dying plant tissues, serving as primary decomposers. However, some bark beetle species kill healthy trees, although at the time of attack, these healthy trees are often experiencing stressful conditions, such as drought or lightning strikes.

Application of Bark Beetle Semiochemicals for Quarantine of Bark Beetles in China [PDF]
Journal of Insect Science, 2006 This article describes the use of bark beetle semiochemicals for quarantine in China. Using traps with two isomeric compounds of α-pinene, ethanol, trans-verbenol, verbenone, camphene and isononylaldehyde, insects of four families (Scolytidae, Platypodidae, Bostychidae and Cleridae) were trapped, including eight genera of Scolytidae, (Xyleborus ...

Tree species preference and impact on native species community by the bark beetle Ips amitinus in a recently invaded region [PDF]
NeoBiota, 2023 Non-native bark beetle species represent a major threat to forest ecosystems. The bark beetle Ips amitinus has recently expanded its range from Finland into northern Sweden.

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2011 In natural spruce stands, a change of generation is usually initiated by wind or bark beetle disturbances. We combined semi-temporary monitoring plots, remote sensing, and GIS in order to understand and model these processes.

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2020 The European spruce bark beetle Ips typographus L. causes significant economic losses in managed coniferous forests in Central and Northern Europe. New infestations either occur in previously undisturbed forest stands (i.e., spot initiation) or depend on

Chiral escape of bark beetles from predators responding to a bark beetle pheromone [PDF]
Oecologia, 1989 Two species of predatory beetles that locate their prey, Ips pini, by responding to its aggregation pheromone have different chiral preferences to ispdienol than does the herbivore. This suggests that chiral disparity may provide some escape for bark beetles from predation, and that geographic variation in herbivore communication systems may be ...
