Risk of bark beetle (Coleoptera, Scolytidae) damage in a spruce forest restoration area in central Finland

Silva Fennica, 2008
A beetle inventory using window traps was performed to examine the effect of forest restoration by artificial addition of dead wood on the abundance of beetles and to evaluate the risk of bark beetle damage in a forest restoration area.

Survey of predators associated with bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) with redescription of Platysoma rimarium Erichson, 1834 from Kashmir, India

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2018
The bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) are widely recognized as one of the most damaging groups of forest pests. The present article documents the insect predators associated with bark beetles infesting blue pine, Pinus wallichiana A. B.

Chiral escape of bark beetles from predators responding to a bark beetle pheromone [PDF]

Oecologia, 1989
Two species of predatory beetles that locate their prey, Ips pini, by responding to its aggregation pheromone have different chiral preferences to ispdienol than does the herbivore. This suggests that chiral disparity may provide some escape for bark beetles from predation, and that geographic variation in herbivore communication systems may be ...

Merocoenoses of cambioxylophagous insect fauna of Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst.) with focus on bark beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) and types of tree damage in different gradation conditions

Journal of Forest Science, 2010
Research on merocoenoses of cambioxylophagous insect fauna of Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst.) was carried out in spruce stands of different age in the area with an endemic population (Moravian-Silesian Beskids, Czech Republic) and in the area ...

Isolation, Expression Profiling, and Regulation via Host Allelochemicals of 16 Glutathione S-Transferases in the Chinese White Pine Beetle, Dendroctonus armandi

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
The Chinese white pine beetle (Dendroctonus armandi) is undoubtedly one of the most important pests causing ecological damage in the Qinling Mountains. When bark beetles invade conifers, they must overcome host tree defenses, including primary resistance

Special delivery: A hardwood‐killing bark beetle vectors its unusual symbiote among host trees

Ecosphere
In mutualistic symbioses with fungi, herbivorous insects such as bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) gain access to resources that are unavailable in the absence of fungal mutualists, while fungi benefit from insect‐vectored dispersal ...
