Bark Beetles Utilize Ophiostomatoid Fungi to Circumvent Host Tree Defenses
Bark beetles maintain symbiotic associations with a diversity of microbial organisms, including ophiostomatoid fungi. Studies have frequently reported the role of ophiostomatoid fungi in bark beetle biology, but how fungal symbionts interact with host chemical defenses over time is needed.
