Monitoring Bark Beetle Forest Damage in Central Europe. A Remote Sensing Approach Validated with Field Data

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
Over the last decades, climate change has triggered an increase in the frequency of spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus L.) in Central Europe. More than 50% of forests in the Czech Republic are seriously threatened by this pest, leading to high ...

Same Same, but Different: A Glossary of Carcino‐Entomology as a Basis for an Improved Communication and for a Modern View of Carcinology Encompassing Entomology

open access: yesActa Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT One core aspect of science is communication, both among researchers as well as with the public. For successful communication, it is crucial that the terminology used is clear to avoid misunderstandings. Especially when researchers working on different groups of organisms communicate, they often use different terms for similar morphological ...

Hermit beetle (Osmoderma barnabita) habitat selection and movement are shaped by tree microhabitat availability in Eastern Romanian Carpathians

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We conducted the first radio‐tracking study on Osmoderma barnabita to examine the movement ecology and habitat selection in the Eastern Carpathians. A female recorded the longest movement distance and had larger home ranges than males. It showed a preference for Quercus petraea, with wood mould cavities and DBH as key predictors.

Against the odds: Nesting specialization and foraging ecology provide insights into climate change responses in a mountain bee

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
A unique high‐elevation Exoneura bee defies typical elevation‐driven declines in bee activity, nesting exclusively in dead branches of snow gums near the alpine tree line. Nesting and foraging are tightly linked to snow gum presence, with most activity occurring within 30 m of these trees. Biophysical modelling indicates the bee's thermally constrained

Stump and Site Factor Analysis After Sanitary Logging of Bark Beetle-Infested Forests

open access: yesSouth-East European Forestry
Coniferous forests cover 41% of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with Norway spruce (Picea abies) being an ecologically and economically important species. Bark beetles, especially the European spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus), pose a major threat, often ...

Evaluating the Potential of annual Sentinel-1 Composites for Bark Beetle Infestation Detection [PDF]

open access: yesISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences
The exponential spread of the bark beetle (Ips typographus L.) outbreaks across Europe in recent years has led to heightened interest in remote sensing-based detection.

Predicting habitat suitability of selected Meloidae species and future potential refugia: A case study from inner Western Anatolia

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Consensus habitat‐suitability maps identify current hotspots of species richness across the Inner Western Anatolian mountain systems. Late‐century projections (2081–2100) under SSP2‐4.5 and SSP5‐8.5 show range shifts and changing richness patterns, intensifying at higher elevations.

The Banded Elm Bark Beetle, Scolytus schevyrewi Semenov (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Scolytinae) in North America: a taxonomic review and modifications to the Wood (1982) key to the species of Scolytus Geoffroy in North and Central America

open access: yesZooKeys, 2010
In 2003, an Asian bark beetle, Scolytus schevyrewi Semenov (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), the banded elm bark beetle, was detected for the first time in North America.

Evaluation of drone system for thinning operations–a case study in Sweden

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Thinning operations in forestry typically involve a two‐machine system (TMS) with a harvester and a forwarder. Its productivity in different forest conditions is well documented. To date, drones have been used for data collection and surveillance but not as an alternative to a TMS.

Hydromulches in Organic Strawberry Production: Effects on Densities of Insect Pests and Natural Enemies

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Liquid‐sprayable cellulose hydromulches (HM) are alternatives to plastic polyethylene (PE) mulches for weed suppression in organic agriculture. However, their impact on arthropod pests and natural enemies remains unexplored. Various HMs made of shredded newsprint, water and guar gum were compared against white‐on‐black PE mulch, paper sheet ...
