Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.Spatial synchrony of population fluctuations has major consequences for the impacts of forest insect pest outbreaks at regional scales. We tested the predictions that the strength and drivers of this synchrony would differ among species according to their dispersal abilities and feeding guilds.

Assessing multifunctional mountain landscape in an Eastern European framework
Geographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2026.The research introduces the Biocultural Resilience Index (BRI), a novel tool for assessing multifunctional landscape sustainability. By integrating biological, cultural, and socio‐economic indicators, the BRI identifies vulnerable areas and informs strategies for sustainable management.

Global Change Biology, 2019 AbstractThe European spruce bark beetle Ips typographus is the most important insect pest in Central European forests. Under climate change, its phenology is presumed to be changing and mass infestations becoming more likely. While several studies have investigated climate effects across a latitudinal gradient, it remains an open question how phenology

Forest EcosystemsSpruce-dominated forests are commonly exposed to disturbances associated with mass occurrences of bark beetles. The dieback of trees triggers many physical and chemical processes in the ecosystem resulting in rapid changes in the vegetation of the lower ...

European Ash (Fraxinus excelsior) as a Functional Keystone Species Shaping Woodland Flora in the UK
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Ash trees have distinct ecological attributes—their canopy allows a high level of light to penetrate and their foliage decomposes rapidly. Here we used woodland survey data to explore if the prevalence of ash trees has an impact on associated plant communities at a fine spatial scale.

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.Simulation outputs from forest landscape models are complex, and tools for their visual analysis and effective communication are often limited. In this paper, we present EcoViz, a novel, open‐source visualisation platform designed to complement existing forest models by providing advanced 3D visualisation capabilities.

Spatial and temporal dynamics of a bark beetle outbreak in the Eastern European Alps
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract The Alps are currently considered among the ecoregions with the highest magnitude of average bark beetle disturbance per year in Europe. We present a disturbance characterization based on a unique database including more than 50,000 records of ground‐based bark beetle disturbance observations in the Eastern Alps from 2020 to 2023.

Comparison of pheromone traps for monitoring of the European spruce bark beetle
, 2013 Six trap models were compared with respect to their ability to capture European spruce bark beetles and technical details in handling and use. All trap models proved to be efficient and gave high captures of beetles during operation for one summer season (2013).
