Pheromone production in bark beetles
Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2010The first aggregation pheromone components from bark beetles were identified in 1966 as a mixture of ipsdienol, ipsenol and verbenol. Since then, a number of additional components have been identified as both aggregation and anti-aggregation pheromones, with many of them being monoterpenoids or derived from monoterpenoids.

Management of Western North American Bark Beetles with Semiochemicals
Annual Review of Entomology, 2018 We summarize the status of semiochemical-based management of the major bark beetle species in western North America. The conifer forests of this region have a long history of profound impacts by phloem-feeding bark beetles, and species such as the ...

An olfactometer for bark beetle parasites
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1981An "H"-type olfactometer was designed and built to test the response of bark beetle parasites to various beetle and tree host odors. The design has several advantages over other types of olfactometers. Strong air currents are not utilized, parasites have free movement in the test chamber, and a concentration gradient of test compound is maintained ...

Pheromone biosynthesis in bark beetles
Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2017Pine bark beetles rely on aggregation pheromones to coordinate mass attacks and thus reproduce in host trees. The structural similarity between many pheromone components and those of defensive tree resin led to early suggestions that pheromone components are metabolic derivatives of ingested precursors.

Bark Beetles of Mediterranean Conifers
2016Bark beetles of conifer trees in the Mediterranean basin play a relevant ecological and economic role in forest ecosystem functioning. Their activity often reflects the health conditions of the stands, while some species may become tree killers causing large outbreaks.

Predation and bark beetle dynamics
Oecologia, 1997Bark beetle populations may undergo dramatic fluctuations and are often important pests in coniferous forests. Their dynamics are thought to be primarily driven by factors affecting the resistance of the host tree to attack, i.e., bottom-up forces, while natural enemies are usually assigned a minor role in these systems.
