Resist!: Sustaining forest carbon sequestration and wood production after insect disturbance
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 23, Issue 10, December 2025.Disturbances from insect pests threaten ecologically and economically important goods and services supplied by forests, including wood production and carbon sequestration. We highlight the factors that influence these services’ resistance, a term quantifying the initial response to disturbance.

Pheromone stereochemical specificity in the biology of the bean beetle Acanthoscelides obtectus
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 564-572, November 2025.Abstract The dried bean beetle, Acanthoscelides obtectus, is a serious pest of legume crops, particularly Phaseolus vulgaris beans, and its management is challenging due to the beetle's cryptic larval stage. The major male‐produced pheromone of A. obtectus is methyl (E,R)‐2,4,5‐tetradecatrienoate, crucial for female attraction, with the (S)‐enantiomer ...

Divergent Trends in Insect Disturbance Across Europe's Temperate and Boreal Forests
Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 11, November 2025.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.
