VIEW, EarlyView.We created a coculture system using patient‐derived organoids (PDOs) and tumor‐infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) that mimics important interactions between PDOs and TILs in the presence of various ICIs. Our findings reveal that CD62L+ T cells, activated by CD44+ cancer stem cells (CSCs), facilitate tumor regression in samples sensitive to ICIs, which is ...

The spruce bark beetle Ips typographus in a changing climate [PDF]
, 2012 Outbreaks of the Spruce bark beetle Ips typographus are often triggered by storm and drought and have destroyed millions of cubic meters of wood. It is therefore a pest insect of economic importance in Europe.

Population dynamics of tree-killing bark beetles [PDF]
, 2010 During outbreak periods, the European spruce bark beetle and the North American mountain pine beetle are able to kill millions of coniferous trees. Throughout the 20th century, six outbreaks have occurred in Sweden and four in British Columbia, with ...

Recent bark beetle outbreaks have little impact on streamflow in the Western United States
Environmental Research Letters, 2016 In the Western United States (US), the current mountain pine beetle (MPB; Dendroctonus ponderosae ) epidemic has affected more than five million hectares since its start in 1996, including headwater catchments that supply water to much of the Western US.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Decomposition is the transformation of dead organic matter into its inorganic constituents. In most biomes, decomposition rates can be accurately predicted with simple mathematical models, but these models have long under‐predicted decomposition in globally extensive ...

Olfaction in the Spruce Bark Beetle, Ips typographus [PDF]
, 2011 The bark beetle Ips typographus regularly kills spruce trees in the Palearctic. Spruces are colonized by means of attraction to an aggregation pheromone. Attraction is modulated by anti-attractive volatiles (NHV) from non-host plants.

Special delivery: A hardwood‐killing bark beetle vectors its unusual symbiote among host trees
EcosphereIn mutualistic symbioses with fungi, herbivorous insects such as bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) gain access to resources that are unavailable in the absence of fungal mutualists, while fungi benefit from insect‐vectored dispersal ...

Cross-attraction between an exotic and a native pine bark beetle: a novel invasion mechanism? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 Aside from the ecological impacts, invasive species fascinate ecologists because of the unique opportunities that invasives offer in the study of community ecology.
