Therapeutic Bark Gouging as an Effective Complement for the Management of Ips typographus and Pityogenes chalcographus While Preserving Habitat for Secondary Scolytine (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Species

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 780-790, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Norway spruce will likely remain an important tree species in Europe over the next few decades despite efforts to transform forests and reduce its distribution range more to its natural range. Consequently, Ips typographus will remain one of the most relevant forest pests the management of which will become increasingly challenging due to ...

Social and cultural considerations for the restoration of ‘lost’ tree species: The fall and rise of elm

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1556-1566, June 2026.
Abstract Attempts to address biodiversity loss have led to ecosystem and species restoration efforts. Tree species restoration is particularly relevant because of increasing threats from pests and pathogens. However, there are different notions of ‘loss’, as well as sociocultural considerations, including social acceptability, which are often neglected

Larger Resin Ducts Are Linked to the Survival of Lodgepole Pine Trees During Mountain Pine Beetle Outbreak

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Periodic mountain pine beetle outbreaks have killed millions of hectares of lodgepole pine forests in western North America. Within these forests some pine trees often remain alive. It has been rarely documented whether anatomical defenses differ between

Host tree preference and performance of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus) on Scots pine

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 6, Page 5850-5860, June 2026.
Ips typographus showed lower reproductive output in an occasional host (Pinus sylvestris) under laboratory conditions, and did not prefer its main host (Picea abies) over P. sylvestris in two‐choice bioassays. Abstract BACKGROUND The Eurasian spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus, is one of the most serious pests of Norway spruce (NS, Picea abies), with ...

Patterns and impacts of an unprecedented outbreak of bark beetles in Central Europe: A glimpse into the future?

Forest Ecosystems
Natural disturbances have significantly intensified across European forests, with bark beetle outbreaks being the most rapidly escalating disturbance type. Since 2018, the Czech Republic (Central Europe) has become a Europe's disturbance epicentre due to

Observations on the non-native thousand cankers disease of walnut in Europe’s southernmost outbreak

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
The ascomycete fungus Geosmithia morbida (GM) and the walnut twig beetle (WTB), Pityophthorus juglandis, constitute a recently discovered fungal–insect complex responsible for the harmful Thousand Cankers Disease (TCD) in walnut trees. Key aspects of the
