Population dynamics of tree-killing bark beetles [PDF]
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 ...

Bombardier Beetle Optimizer: A Novel Bio-Inspired Algorithm for Global Optimization
In this paper, a novel bio-inspired optimization algorithm is proposed, called Bombardier Beetle Optimizer (BBO). This type of species is very intelligent, which has an ability to defense and escape from predators. The principles of the former one is inspired by the defense mechanism of Bombardier Beetle against the predators, which the Bombardier ...

Survival strategy of the bombardier beetle, Pheropsophus rivieri (Col.: Carabidae) in a Central Amazonian blackwater floodplain (Brazil) [PDF]
Terrestrial invertebrates in the Central Amazonian floodplains have to cope with an annual inundation period of several months. Their life cycles are affected by this flood pulse, and most species have adopted seasonal univoltine reproductive regimes as ...

Long and short term effects of stump harvesting on saproxylic beetles and ground flora [PDF]
Research on the effects from forest management on biodiversity has been going on for decades but still there are many questions unanswered. With every introduction of a new forestry method there is risk for increased pressure on biodiversity.
