From beginning to end: the synecology of tree‐killing bark beetles, fungi, and trees

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 314-335, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Over a century of research has revealed an amazing complexity of behaviours and physiological adaptations that allow tiny bark beetles to overcome large trees, sometimes resulting in outbreaks that kill millions of trees. Turning a tree into a home and successfully raising offspring involves constant interactions among the beetles, the tree ...

Ophiostomatoid fungi associated with mites phoretic on bark beetles in Qinghai, China

IMA Fungus, 2020
Bark beetle galleries are complex ecosystems where many microbes and other arthropods co-exist with the beetles. Fungi isolated from these galleries are often referred to as ‘beetle associates’, but the nature of these associations are poorly understood.

Long-read PacBio genome sequencing of four environmental saprophytic Sporothrix species spanning the pathogenic clade

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background The genus Sporothrix belongs to the order Ophiostomatales and contains mainly saprobic soil and plant fungi, although pathogenic species capable of causing human infections are also present.

The Influence of Pine Volatiles on the Growth of an Ophiostomatoid Fungi Associated with Pine Wilt Disease in Pinus pinaster 

Biology and Life Sciences Forum, 2023
Phytopathogenic ophiostomatoid fungi play an important role in pine wilt disease (PWD), caused by the pinewood nematode (PWN), since they begin proliferating once the pine hosts decay and can serve as a food source for the PWN.

Infection Models for Pine Wilt Disease on the Basis of Vector Behaviors

Population Ecology, Volume 68, Issue 1, January 2026.
Infection models for pine wilt disease without vector density were built to estimate the transmission coefficient of the pathogenic nematode. The models successfully simulated the annual change in the density of infected trees for four pine stands. ABSTRACT Pine wilt disease is caused by the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Steiner et ...

Commodity risk assessment of oak and walnut logs from the US

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The European Commission submitted to the EFSA Panel on Plant Health a Dossier from the United States proposing the use of a vacuum–steam–heat treatment as a stand‐alone phytosanitary measure to mitigate the risk of entry of Bretziella fagacearum, Geosmithia morbida and its vector Pityophthorus juglandis (thousand cankers disease complex) into ...

Ophiostomatalean Fungi (Ascomycota, Ophiostomatales) Associated with Dendroctonus valens in Liaoning, China

Forests
The red turpentine beetle Dendroctonus valens is an invasive forest pest that has been rapidly spreading northward since its introduction in China. Some ophiostomatalean associates of D. valens are essential contributing factors for this beetle to become an aggressive pine killer in China. In this study, a survey was conducted in a new invasive area of

Ophiostomatoid fungi associated with pine bark beetles and infested pines in south-eastern Australia, including Graphilbum ipis-grandicollis sp. nov.

IMA Fungus, 2021
The ophiostomatoid fungi are an assemblage of ascomycetes which are arguably best-known for their associations with bark and ambrosia beetles (Curculonidae) and blue stain (sap stain) of many economically important tree species.

Harnessing Nutritional Niches to Explore Fungus‐Animal Symbioses

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2025.
The stability of fungus‐animal symbioses often depends on optimised nutrient exchange, but we lack a framework to explore whether animal‐derived nutrients are optimal for fungal symbionts. This conceptual gap has constrained studies of how fungus‐animal symbioses achieve ecological success as well as predictions about their evolutionarily stability ...
