Host tree preference and performance of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus) on Scots pine

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 6, Page 5850-5860, June 2026.
Ips typographus showed lower reproductive output in an occasional host (Pinus sylvestris) under laboratory conditions, and did not prefer its main host (Picea abies) over P. sylvestris in two‐choice bioassays. Abstract BACKGROUND The Eurasian spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus, is one of the most serious pests of Norway spruce (NS, Picea abies), with ...

Morphological variation associated with dispersal capacity in a treekilling bark beetle Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins

, 2018
Intrinsic factors influencing the dispersal of insect pests during outbreaks are poorly understood, yet these factors need to be quantified to parameterize dispersal in models that predict population spread.

Biological Pesticides as Viable Alternative to Synthetic Pesticides for Sustainable Agriculture and Nutrition: A Systematic Review

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The overuse of synthetic pesticides in agriculture has raised significant environmental and health concerns. Biopesticides have emerged as viable, environmentally compatible alternatives. However, recent comprehensive reviews integrating all biopesticide categories and emphasizing their contribution to synthetic‐pesticide‐free and health‐safe ...

Growth, Chemistry, and Genetic Profiles of Whitebark Pine Forests Affected by Climate-Driven Mountain Pine Beetle Outbreaks

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021
Climate change-driven Dendroctonus ponderosae outbreaks in semi-naïve Pinus albicaulis may result in rapid natural selection for trees with genotypes and phenotypes associated with survival.

Global Diversity Estimates Need to Acknowledge Species–Area Relationships

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Many studies have tried to estimate the number of undescribed species based on the known diversity. These estimates often rely on extrapolation based on data from a limited number of species. Although statistical methods provide accurate inference when generalizing from a random sample, their predictions will be biased when based on

Constitutive and inducible oleoresin defenses share genetic architectures and mechanisms in Pinus taeda

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2966-2987, June 2026.
Summary The oleoresin defense system of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) protects trees from insects and pathogens and is an important source of renewable biofuels and chemicals, but the genetic basis of oleoresin production is poorly understood. We characterized the genetic architecture of oleoresin flow, resin canal number, stem wood terpene content, and ...

Novel threats and response to Acadia National Park forests: Simulating the resist–accept–direct management framework

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract How future pathogens will interact with climate change to affect forests is unknown. While specific predictions of complex interactions may be unreliable, exploring a gradient of disturbance severity and management can be informative. We simulated forests in Acadia National Park (ANP) in Maine, USA, under climate change.

Efecto de la sequía en la distribución y densidad de Dendroctonus mexicanus Hopkins, 1905 en bosques templados

Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Forestales, 2018
Los bosques templados de Nuevo León son susceptibles al ataque de insectos descortezadores del género Dendroctonus, los cuales son considerados como los más destructivos en bosques de pino en México; donde tienen un papel importante, ya que a densidades ...
