Induced terpene accumulation in Norway spruce inhibits bark beetle colonization in a dose-dependent manner. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Tree-killing bark beetles (Coleoptera, Scolytinae) are among the most economically and ecologically important forest pests in the northern hemisphere. Induction of terpenoid-based oleoresin has long been considered important in conifer defense against ...

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.

Development and implementation of a spruce bark beetle susceptibility index: A framework to compare bark beetle susceptibility on stand level [PDF]
Trees, Forests and People, 2023 The spruce bark beetle (spruce bark beetle) (Ips typographus) is one of the major disturbance agents in European forests. Damage by spruce bark beetle is expected to increase in the future, as a result of e.g. increased temperatures.

Do bark beetle outbreaks amplify or dampen future bark beetle disturbances in Central Europe? [PDF]
J Ecol, 2021 Bark beetle outbreaks have intensified in many forests around the globe in recent years. Yet, the legacy of these disturbances for future forest development remains unclear.

Colonisation potential of the bark beetle (Taphrorychus bicolor) on beech logs and logging residues: ecological context and implications for pest management in forests. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciBeech residues left in shaded or semi‐shaded conditions pose a substantial risk of local Taphrorychus bicolor population outbreaks. The rapid removal or placement of residues in sun‐exposed locations can help mitigate this risk. Abstract BACKGROUND The bark beetle Taphrorychus bicolor has been traditionally classified as a secondary pest of European ...

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.
