Effects of tree mortality caused by a bark beetle outbreak on the ant community in the S an B ernardino N ational F orest

open access: yesEcological Entomology, 2013
1. A severe bark beetle outbreak caused very high levels of tree mortality in the San Bernardino National Forest in southern California in 2003. 2. In 2009, the impact of the outbreak on the ant community was examined by pitfall-trapping ants in 15 sites

Weather, a Factor in Outbreaks of the Hickory Bark Beetle

Journal of Economic Entomology, 1929
The contents of this paper indicates that weather has a marked effect on barkbeetle outbreaks. A hickory barkbeetle, Eccoptogaster quadrispinosus , outbreak occurred during the drought period of 1925 in North Carolina. The marked deficiency in precipitation weakened hickory trees by checking growth and rendered them attractive to beetle attacks ...

Scientific response to intensifying bark beetle outbreaks in Europe and North America

Forest Ecology and Management, 2021
Abstract Tree-killing bark beetles are globally the most destructive forest pests and their impacts have increased in recent decades. Such an increase has been consistently reported from Europe and North America, and it is, with high confidence, driven by climate change.

Dendroecological detection of spruce bark beetle outbreaks in northwestern Colorado

Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 2000
Episodic outbreaks of Dendroctonus rufipennis (Kirby), the spruce bark beetle, have greatly influenced the structure of subalpine forests in northern Colorado. During the 1940s, much of the subalpine zone of northwestern Colorado was severely affected by beetle outbreak; also, tree-ring and photographic evidence suggest that large-scale outbreaks ...

Factors Influencing Bark Beetle Outbreaks After Forest Fires on the Iberian Peninsula

Environmental Entomology, 2011
Fires are among the most globally important disturbances in forest ecosystems. Forest fires can be followed by bark beetle outbreaks. Therefore, the dynamic interactions between bark beetle outbreaks and fire appear to be of general importance in coniferous forests throughout the world. We tested three hypotheses of how forest fires in pine ecosystems

Climate affects severity and altitudinal distribution of outbreaks in an eruptive bark beetle

Climatic Change, 2012
Temperature warming and the increased frequency of climatic anomalies are expected to trigger bark beetle outbreaks with potential severe consequences on forest ecosystems. We characterized the combined effects of climatic factors and density-dependent feedbacks on forest damage caused by Ips typographus (L.), one of the most destructive pests of ...

Among Bark Beetles, Humans and Spruce Trees. A Multi-Species Political Ecology of Bark Beetle Outbreaks in Upper Austrian Forests

There is turmoil in and around Austria’s forests. On the one hand, the escalating climate crisis; on the other, increasing biotic disturbances such as insect pests. In the midst of these upheavals: A European spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus). An insect with the power to make humans despair, spruce trees die, and forest landscapes change; a creature
