Gut transcriptome of two bark beetle species stimulated with the same kairomones reveals molecular differences in detoxification pathways

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2022
Dendroctonus bark beetles are the most destructive agents in coniferous forests. These beetles come into contact with the toxic compounds of their host's chemical defenses throughout their life cycle, some of which are also used by the insects as ...

Identification of the Short Neuropeptide F and Short Neuropeptide F Receptor Genes and Their Roles of Food Intake in Dendroctonus armandi

Insects, 2021
The short neuropeptide F (sNPF) is an essential signaling molecule that is evolutionarily conserved and involved in a broad range of physiological functions in the invertebrates, by interacting with sNPF receptors, which belong to G protein-coupled ...

Effect of semiochemical exposure on flight propensity and flight capacity of Dendroctonus ponderosae in laboratory bioassays

, 2021
During flight, insect herbivores respond to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released by host and non-host plants or conspecifics. Dendroctonus ponderosae uses chemical cues including host and non-host VOCs, as well as aggregation pheromones to navigate

An Assessment of Old and New Characters Using Traditional and Geometric Morphometrics for the Identification ofDendroctonus approximatusandDendroctonus parallelocollis(Curculionidae: Scolytinae) [PDF]

Journal of Insect Science, 2019
There have been numerous changes in the nomenclature of species of Dendroctonus. The case of Dendroctonus parallelocollis Chapuis and Dendroctonus approximatus Dietz has been particularly noteworthy. These bark beetles colonize pine trees but are not aggressive species. The high morphological similarity, their overlapping geographical distribution, and

Rapid neo-sex chromosome evolution and incipient speciation in a major forest pest

Nature Communications, 2017
The evolution of new sex chromosomes potentially generates reproductive isolation. Here, Bracewell et al. combine crossing experiments with population and functional genomics to characterize neo-sex chromosome evolution and incipient speciation in the ...

Dendroctonus frontalis and Pinus taeda

, 2018
It has been said by many that the native Southern Pine beetle, Dendroctonus frontalis, is one of the most destructive insect pests to pines. Here at Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, Loblolly Pine trees are a haven to the Southern Pine beetle for ...

The Southern Pine Beetle Dendroctonus frontalis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae)

EDIS, 2022
The southern pine beetle (SPB), Dendroctonus frontalis Zimmermann, has been the most economically important forest insect in the pine timber industry in the southern United States. From 1960 through 1990, the bark beetle caused economic losses estimated
