The Southern Pine Beetle Dendroctonus frontalis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae)
EDIS, 2022 The southern pine beetle (SPB), Dendroctonus frontalis Zimmermann, has been the most economically important forest insect in the pine timber industry in the southern United States. From 1960 through 1990, the bark beetle caused economic losses estimated

Effects of Bark Beetle Outbreaks on Forest Landscape Pattern in the Southern Rocky Mountains, U.S.A.
Remote Sensing, 2021 Since the late 1990s, extensive outbreaks of native bark beetles (Curculionidae: Scolytinae) have affected coniferous forests throughout Europe and North America, driving changes in carbon storage, wildlife habitat, nutrient cycling, and water resource ...

Traumatic resin ducts as indicators of bark beetle outbreaks
Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 2017 The formation of traumatic resin ducts (TRDs) represents an important induced defense in woody plants that enhances oleoresin production and flow in response to environmental perturbations. In some genera (Pinus), resin ducts are copious and conspicuous; however, in others (Picea), resin ducts are relatively rare.

Radar Satellite Imagery for Detecting Bark Beetle Outbreaks in Forests [PDF]
Current Forestry Reports, 2019 Abstract Purpose of Review The overall objective of this paper is to review the state of knowledge on the application of radar data for detecting bark beetle attacks in forests. Due to the increased availability of high spatial and temporal resolution radar data (e.g.

Bark beetle outbreaks affect regional carbon cycle [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2012 Bark beetle outbreaks can kill a large number of trees—in fact, insect outbreaks affect an area similar in size to that affected by forest fires annually across North America. Trees absorb carbon dioxide, so bark beetle outbreaks can significantly affect regional carbon dynamics.

Dynamics of Scots pine health after the release of Thanasimus formicarius in bark beetle foci
Наукові праці Лісівничої академії наук УкраїниIn Eastern Polissia, a severe decline of Scots pine started in 2015. It was caused by drought and aggravated by outbreaks of Ips acuminatus (Gyllenhal, 1827) followed by Ips sexdentatus (Börner, 1776).

Mountain pine beetle outbreak duration and pine mortality depend on direct control effort
, 2020 The efficacy of direct control methods in bark beetle outbreaks is a disputed topic. While some studies report that control reduces tree mortality, others see little effect.

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 ...

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.We assess the effect of sanitation felling performed in 2022 in North‐Eastern Italy on bark beetle damage that occurred in 2023 across eight spruce forest types, as evaluated using multispectral satellite imagery. Bark beetle damage was reduced only at very high or very low sanitation felling rates.

Aggregation unveiled: A sequential modelling approach to bark beetle outbreaks
Theoretical Population BiologyTree-killing bark beetle infestations are a cause of massive coniferous forest mortality impacting forest ecosystems and the ecosystem services they provide. Models predicting bark beetle outbreaks are crucial for forest management and conservation, necessitating studies of the effect of epidemiological traits on the probability and severity of ...
