Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study presents the first detailed morphological analysis of the male reproductive system of Chalcophora mariana (Linnaeus, 1758) using stereo microscopy, light microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The male reproductive system of C.

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Features of the reproductive organs, such as the number of testicular follicles, testis colour and the morphology of the glands, can be used as systematic characters. For this purpose, this paper was the first description of the male reproductive system anatomy and histology of Hypera postica (Gyllenhal, 1813) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), a ...

Quantifying dispersal of a non-aggressive saprophytic bark beetle.
PLoS ONE, 2017 Long distance dispersal to locate suitable breeding sites is recognized as a key trait influencing the population dynamics and distribution of bark beetles and other saprophytic insects. While dispersal behavior has been studied for a range of aggressive

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The pine weevil is one of the largest species in the jewel beetle (Buprestidae) family found in Central Europe and Turkey. Chalcophora mariana is generally considered a secondary guest and primarily develops in weakened, decaying, or recently dead pine trees.

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT One core aspect of science is communication, both among researchers as well as with the public. For successful communication, it is crucial that the terminology used is clear to avoid misunderstandings. Especially when researchers working on different groups of organisms communicate, they often use different terms for similar morphological ...

European Journal of Entomology, 2016 A novel method was used to study dispersal in the spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus (L.), under epidemic conditions (rapidly increasing population density) in the Šumava National Park. Infested spruce logs were coated with a fine fluorescent powder and

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.There was a positive relationship between adult preference and larval performance. However, the strength of the relationship ranged from weak to strong depending on the measure of adult preference. The adult beetle showed substantial flexibility in host plant selection and equal performance across most thistle hosts.

Small birches matter: Beetle diversity on burned birch and pine in boreal forests
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Burned birch hosted higher beetle richness than burned pine. Higher beetle richness on birch was associated with its greater post‐fire mortality, with charred, dead birches attracting more specialized beetles. Retaining burned birch alongside pine can enhance saproxylic and pyrophilous beetle diversity after prescribed burning.

Evaluation of drone system for thinning operations–a case study in Sweden
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract Thinning operations in forestry typically involve a two‐machine system (TMS) with a harvester and a forwarder. Its productivity in different forest conditions is well documented. To date, drones have been used for data collection and surveillance but not as an alternative to a TMS.
