Ophiostomatoid fungi associated with Ips subelongatus, including eight new species from northeastern China [PDF]
IMA Fungus, 2020 Ips subelongatus is a major pest that infects larch plantations over large areas of northern and northeastern China. Ips species are closely associated with ophiostomatoid fungi that are morphologically well-adapted for dispersal by beetles.

Ophiostomatoid fungi associated with mites phoretic on bark beetles in Qinghai, China [PDF]
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.

Dose-response modelling uncovers compound-specific inhibitory effects of host defence volatiles on mountain pine beetle fungal symbionts. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciHost defence volatiles inhibit mountain pine beetle fungal symbionts in a compound‐ and enantiomer‐specific manner, with distinct dose–response profiles that reveal the multitarget chemical defences of beetle–fungi symbiotes. Abstract BACKGROUND The mountain pine beetle relies on symbiotic fungi to overcome host tree defences, yet these fungi must ...

A robust phylogenetic framework for ophiostomatoid fungi: orders Ophiostomatales and Microascales (Sordariomycetes, Ascomycota) [PDF]
MycoKeysOphiostomatoids are an ecological group of microfungi that commonly associate with bark and ambrosia beetles. In addition to being insect symbionts, they play significant ecological roles as plant pathogens and include species responsible for major ...

Fungal Pathogens Associated with Tomicus Species in European Forests: Regional Variations and Impacts on Forest Health [PDF]
InsectsPinus species are extensively abundant in Europe and, as pioneer trees, prominently influence local ecology. However, pine forests in Lithuania, Montenegro, and Ukraine have been significantly damaged by pine bark beetles (Tomicus sp.), which are closely

Fungal Communities Vectored by Ips sexdentatus in Declining Pinus sylvestris in Ukraine: Focus on Occurrence and Pathogenicity of Ophiostomatoid Species [PDF]
Insects, 2021 Drought-induced stress and attacks by bark beetle Ips sexdentatus currently result in a massive dieback of Pinus sylvestris in eastern Ukraine. Limited and fragmented knowledge is available on fungi vectored by the beetle and their roles in tree dieback.

Pathophysiology and transcriptomic analysis of Picea koraiensis inoculated by bark beetle-vectored fungus Ophiostoma bicolor [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Ophiostomatoid fungi exhibit a complex relationship with bark beetles; exhausting of host tree defenses is traditionally regarded as one of the key benefits provided to beetle vectors.

Ophiostomatoid fungi associated with conifer-infesting beetles and their phoretic mites in Yunnan, China [PDF]
MycoKeys, 2017 The Ophiostomatales is an Ascomycete order of fungi that accommodates several tree pathogens and many species that degrade wood. These fungi are commonly vectored by Scolytine bark and ambrosia beetles.

Fungal Communities of the Pine Wilt Disease Complex: Studying the Interaction of Ophiostomatales With Bursaphelenchus xylophilus [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Considered one of the most devastating plant–parasitic nematodes worldwide, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (commonly known as pinewood nematode, PWN) is the causal agent of the pine wilt disease in the Eurasian coniferous forests.
