Shaping future forests: how can ecophysiology support climate‐smart forest management?

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Climate change, particularly the associated increase in extreme events and disturbances, threatens the numerous environmental, social, and economic benefits that forests provide, both locally and globally. Heat and drought pose significant risks to forest ecosystems; the anticipated future climate is expected to exacerbate this trend ...

A Plant‐Based Platform for the Production of Bark Beetle Pheromones

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bark beetle species of the genera Ips and Dendroctonus represent a threat to forests in both North America and Europe. Under normal circumstances, these beetles recycle dying trees into nutrients, but under certain conditions, growing populations can overcome healthy tree defenses and cause severe economic loss in forestry.

Polyploid spermatozoa in Pityogenes chalcographus and Ips typographus (Coleoptera: Scolytidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2004
Abnormal spermatogenesis in Pityogenes chalcographus (L.) and Ips typographus (L.) results in oversized spermatozoa in all the populations investigated. They can be identified by light microscopy and classified as 2n up to 16n polyploid.

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.

Exploitation of kairomones and synomones by Medetera spp. (Diptera: Dolichopodidae), predators of spruce bark beetles

European Journal of Entomology, 2005
The semiochemical relationships in a predator-prey-host plant system were studied by a series of multiple-choice field assays. The studied system included predatory flies of the genus Medetera (Diptera: Dolichopodidae), the bark beetles Ips typographus ...

Molecular bases of insect odorant receptor function: specificity and evolution

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 1036-1049, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Insect odorant receptors (ORs) are a class of chemoreceptors that insects use to detect volatile cues in their environment. In recent years, major advances in the field of structural biology have made it possible to obtain the first structures of insect ORs.

Potential of endophytic Beauveria bassiana against Coraebus (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) oak borers

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3523-3531, April 2026.
This study demonstrates that an endophytic, oak‐associated strain of Beauveria bassiana exhibits adaptations to Quercus plants and potential against Coraebus boring beetles, supported by distinctive biological traits. Abstract BACKGROUND Oak borers in the genus Coraebus, including the bark‐ and the wood‐boring beetles C. florentinus and C. undatus, are

Effect of insecticide-treated trap logs and lure traps for Ips typographus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) management on nontarget arthropods catching in Norway spruce stands

Journal of Forest Science, 2014
The numbers of nontarget arthropods captured by Theysohn pheromone traps (TPTs) and insecticide-treated tripod trap logs (TRIPODs) were compared; both kinds of traps were baited with pheromone lures Pheagr IT for Ips typographus.

Ips acuminatus (Gyllenhal) in the Czech Republic: Flight dynamics and adult population structure

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 136-146, March 2026.
Ips acuminatus exhibits a univoltine life cycle in Central Europe and no full second generation in midsummer. The sex ratio shifts from male‐biased in spring to slightly female‐biased with the season, with over 90% of females mated. Among the pheromone lures tested, the ACP was most attractive, and combining ACP and PH lures could be used for effective
