Influence of southern pine beetle on fungal communities of wood and bark decomposition of coarse woody debris in the New Jersey pine barrens

Forestry Research, 2021
Dead coarse woody debris (fungal food resources) on the forest floor is an ignition source for forest fires. The rate of decomposition of the debris is largely influenced by fungi, determining its residence time on the forest floor.

Overlapping outbreaks of multiple bark beetle species are rarely more severe than single‐species outbreaks

Ecosphere, 2023
Biotic disturbances that overlap in space and time may result in important shifts in forest structure and composition, with potential effects on many ecosystem services.

Comparative Analysis of Eight Mitogenomes of Bark Beetles and Their Phylogenetic Implications

Insects, 2021
Many bark beetles of the subfamily Scolytinae are the most economically important insect pests of coniferous forests worldwide. In this study, we sequenced the mitochondrial genomes of eight bark beetle species, including Dendroctonus micans ...

Modelling bark beetle disturbances in a large scale forest scenario model to assess climate change impacts and evaluate adaptive management strategies [PDF]

To study potential consequences of climate-induced changes in the biotic disturbance regime at regional to national scale we integrated a model of Ips typographus (L. Scol. Col.) damages into the large-scale forest scenario model EFISCEN.

A List of the Tenebrionidae of Michigan (Coleoptera) [PDF]

, 2017
The family Tenebrionidae, the darkling beetles, containing more than 14,000 species, is found primarily in the tropics and arid regions. As would therefore be expected, Michigan\u27s cool, moist environment is not attractive to very many tenebrionids ...

Putative ligand binding sites of two functionally characterized bark beetle odorant receptors

, 2021
Background: Bark beetles are major pests of conifer forests, and their behavior is primarily mediated via olfaction. Targeting the odorant receptors (ORs) may thus provide avenues towards improved pest control.

Landsat Imagery Spectral Trajectories—Important Variables for Spatially Predicting the Risks of Bark Beetle Disturbance

Remote Sensing, 2016
Tree mortality caused by bark beetle infestation has significant effects on the ecology and value of both natural and commercial forests. Therefore, prediction of bark beetle infestations is critical in forest management.

Satellite-based hyperspectral imaging and cartographic visualization of bark beetle forest damage for the city of Čabar

Tehnički Glasnik, 2018
After enormous amount of ice rain during 2014 huge damage was done in forests in Croatia, especially in the city of Čabar area. Damage of forests is reflected in wide spread of bark beetle.
