Unravelling the spatial and temporal variability of natural disturbances in European forests

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
The heterogeneity of natural disturbance patterns and high temporal variability across European Forest suggest the need of adopting context‐dependent management strategies tailored to both the dominant disturbance agent and local environmental conditions, particularly in the most vulnerable regions, such as the Iberian Peninsula—with large and frequent

Testing Projected Climate Change Conditions on the Endoconidiophora polonica/Norway spruce Pathosystem Shows Fungal Strain Specific Effects [PDF]

, 2017
Climate changes, exemplified by increased temperatures and CO2 concentration, pose a global threat to forest health. Of particular concern are pests and pathogens, with a warming climate altering their distributions and evolutionary capacity, while ...

Automatic traps foster the monitoring and prediction of bark beetle swarming

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
Automated trap data help bark beetle management to act more timely and targeted, thereby facilitating an effective mitigation of outbreaks. Moreover, the immediate data transmission makes regular manual trap collections unnecessary. While swarming models cannot quantify absolute trap catches without site‐ and trap‐specific calibration, they provide ...

Behavioral responses of predatory flies of the genus Medetera Fischer von Waldheim (Diptera: Dolichopodidae) and the tree-killing beetle Ips typographus L. (Coleoptera: Scolytinae) to odor compound blends

Annals of Forest Science
Key Message Medetera (Fischer von Waldheim) flies, natural enemies of the spruce bark beetle Ips typographus (L.), were attracted to synthetic blends of compounds produced by infested spruce trees.

Comparative analysis of olfactory sensory neurons in two Ips species reveals conserved and species-specific olfactory adaptations

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
IntroductionBark beetles spend most of their lives under the bark of trees, with some species being economically significant pests that cause widespread tree mortality.

Ecological Drivers of Microbiota Diversity in the Pharmacophagous Turnip Sawfly

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2026.
We show that both nutritional (host‐plant diet, starvation) and non‐nutritional (pharmacophagy) plant use independently shape microbiota diversity, composition and predicted function in Athalia rosae. Pharmacophagy via clerodanoid uptake altered microbial communities and enriched metabolic pathways linked to plant compound degradation. Wild individuals

Entomopathogenic fungi of the genus Beauveria and their pathogenicity to Ips typographus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in the Vitosha National Park, Bulgaria

Journal of Forest Science, 2020
Ips typographus is a serious pest for forestry in Eurasia. Effective control is difficult due to its cryptic habits and insect pathogenic microorganisms, including entomopathogenic fungi that are believed to be a promising alternative to the traditional ...

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

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2442-2456, April 2026.
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.

Gradacija smrčinih potkornjaka na području Han Pijeska

Glasnik Šumarskog Fakulteta Univerziteta u Banjoj Luci, 2018
Rad se bavi utvrđivanjem brojnosti smrčinih potkornjaka (Ips typographus L., i Pityogenes chalcographus L.) i njihovom značaju u pojavi sušenja smrče, na području Han Pijeska. Smrča na ovom području ima veliki privredni i ekološki značaj.
