Special delivery: A hardwood‐killing bark beetle vectors its unusual symbiote among host trees
Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2025.Abstract In mutualistic symbioses with fungi, herbivorous insects such as bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) gain access to resources that are unavailable in the absence of fungal mutualists, while fungi benefit from insect‐vectored dispersal. The most well‐studied mutualists of tree‐killing bark beetles in conifer systems are certain

Methods for the Quantification of Resistance of Apple Genotypes to European Fruit Tree Canker Caused by Neonectria ditissima. [PDF]
Plant Disease, 2017 European fruit tree canker, caused by Neonectria ditissima, is an important disease of pome fruit worldwide. Apple cultivars differ in their levels of susceptibility to N. ditissima. In order to design an effective plant resistance test, we examined the effectiveness of two resistance parameters: infection frequency and lesion growth.
