Symbiosis and pathogenicity of Geosmithia and Talaromyces spp. associated with the cypress bark beetles Phloeosinus spp. and their parasitoids. [PDF]
Summary Fungi associated with cypress bark beetles are practically unknown in the Eastern Mediterranean. Our study focused on the fungi associated with the body parts and galleries of two indigenous cypress bark beetles, Phloeosinus armatus and P. bicolor, sampled from Cupressus sempervirens trees in different regions in Israel. Arbitrarily primed PCR,

Divergent Trends in Insect Disturbance Across Europe's Temperate and Boreal Forests. [PDF]
Across temperate and boreal Europe, tree mortality caused by insects has risen during the 21st century, yet interactions among insect species and their host trees are complex. While mortality from wood‐boring insects in conifers has increased, defoliation caused by multiple moth species has declined.

A Highly Expressed Odorant Receptor Detects the Aggregation Pheromone Rhynchophorol in the Invasive American Palm Weevil. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Communication via aggregation pheromones is responsible for the behavioural and ecological characteristics of many species of weevils (Coleoptera). In insects, pheromones are detected by specialized odorant receptors (ORs), called pheromone receptors (PRs), which are usually highly expressed in olfactory sensory neurons localized in the ...
