The social context in bark beetle – fungus bioassays: a case study in European fir engraver bark beetles and their fungal associates [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyBackgroundCertain species of bark beetles (Curculionidae: Scolytinae) are among the most aggressive herbivorous forest insects due to their mass aggregation behavior and symbiosis with filamentous fungi.

Seasonal changes in mixed‐species bird flocks and antipredator information
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Animals acquire information produced by other species to reduce uncertainty and avoid predators. Mixed‐species flocks (MSFs) of birds are ubiquitous in forest ecosystems and structured, in part, around interspecific information transfer, with “nuclear ...

DESIGNING GROUP PLANTINGS OF TREES AND SHRUBS
Архитектон, 2022 The article describes the methodological foundations of designing group plantings of trees and shrubs. The basic principles of tree and shrub species selection for arranging open, dense, clean and mixed groups are considered.
