Mapping a European Spruce Bark Beetle Outbreak Using Sentinel-2 Remote Sensing Data
Remote Sensing, 2022 Insect outbreaks affect forests, causing the deaths of trees and high economic loss. In this study, we explored the detection of European spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus, L.) outbreaks at the individual tree crown level using multispectral satellite ...

Reaction of Wood Ants to a Large-Scale European Spruce Bark Beetle Outbreak in Temperate Forests [PDF]
InsectsIn the Białowieża Forest, Norway spruce is the preferred host tree species for wood ants, both in coniferous and mixed stands; thus, spruce mortality as a consequence of a continuous spruce bark beetle outbreak in the Białowieża Forest since 2012 could ...

Fire mitigates bark beetle outbreaks in serotinous forests [PDF]
Theoretical Ecology, 2021 AbstractBark beetle outbreaks and forest fires have imposed severe ecological damage and caused billions of dollars in lost resources in recent decades. The impact of such combined disturbances is projected to become more severe, especially as climate change takes its toll on forest ecosystems in the coming years.

Meteorological and climatological triggers of notable past and present bark beetle outbreaks in the Czech Republic [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2022 Based on documentary evidence, a chronology of bark beetle outbreaks in the Czech Republic from 1781 to 1963 CE was created, continuing from 1964 through 2021 by bark beetle salvage felling data.

Do bark beetle outbreaks amplify or dampen future bark beetle disturbances in Central Europe? [PDF]
Journal of Ecology, 2020 Abstract 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. Bark beetle disturbances are expected to increase further because of climate change.

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.

Mechanisms and consequences of flight polyphenisms in an outbreaking bark beetle species [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2020 Flight polyphenisms naturally occur as discrete or continuous traits in insects. Discrete flight polyphenisms include winged and wingless morphs, whereas continuous flight polyphenisms can take the form of short- or long-distance fliers. The mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) exhibits polyphenic variation in flight distance but the ...

Bark Beetle Outbreaks in Europe: State of Knowledge and Ways Forward for Management
Current Forestry Reports, 2021 Outbreaks of tree-killing bark beetles have reached unprecedented levels in conifer forests in the northern hemisphere and are expected to further intensify due to climate change. In parts of Europe, bark beetle outbreaks and efforts to manage them have even triggered social unrests and political instability.
