Addressing a century‐old hypothesis – do pioneer beetles of Ips typographus use volatile cues to find suitable host trees?

New Phytologist, Volume 238, Issue 5, Page 1762-1770, June 2023., 2023
Summary Global warming and more frequent climate extremes have caused bark beetle outbreaks of unprecedented scale of these insects in many conifer forests world‐wide. Conifers that have been weakened by drought and heat or damaged by storms are highly susceptible to bark beetle infestation.

Symbiosis and pathogenicity of Geosmithia and Talaromyces spp. associated with the cypress bark beetles Phloeosinus spp. and their parasitoids

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 24, Issue 8, Page 3369-3389, August 2022., 2022
Summary Fungi associated with cypress bark beetles are practically unknown in the Eastern Mediterranean. Our study focused on the fungi associated with the body parts and galleries of two indigenous cypress bark beetles, Phloeosinus armatus and P. bicolor, sampled from Cupressus sempervirens trees in different regions in Israel. Arbitrarily primed PCR,

Fungi associated with the beetles of Ips typographus on Norway spruce in southern Poland

Acta Mycologica, 2014
The mycobiota of the beetles of the phloem-feeding spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus was studied. The most important group of fungi were the ophiostomatoid fungi. Among them O. penicillatum was very frequent ophiostomatoid species.

Odorant receptor orthologues in conifer‐feeding beetles display conserved responses to ecologically relevant odours

Molecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 13, Page 3693-3707, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Insects are able to detect a plethora of olfactory cues using a divergent family of odorant receptors (ORs). Despite the divergent nature of this family, related species frequently express several evolutionarily conserved OR orthologues. In the largest order of insects, Coleoptera, it remains unknown whether OR orthologues have conserved or ...

Transcriptomic changes during the establishment of long‐term methyl jasmonate‐induced resistance in Norway spruce

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 45, Issue 6, Page 1891-1913, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Norway spruce (Picea abies) is an economically and ecologically important tree species that grows across northern and central Europe. Treating Norway spruce with jasmonate has long‐lasting beneficial effects on tree resistance to damaging pests, such as the European spruce bark beetle Ips typographus and its fungal associates. The (epi)genetic

Origin and evolution of fungus farming in wood‐boring Coleoptera – a palaeontological perspective

Biological Reviews, Volume 96, Issue 6, Page 2476-2488, December 2021., 2021
ABSTRACT Insect–fungus mutualism is one of the better‐studied symbiotic interactions in nature. Ambrosia fungi are an ecological assemblage of unrelated fungi that are cultivated by ambrosia beetles in their galleries as obligate food for larvae. Despite recently increased research interest, it remains unclear which ecological factors facilitated the ...

Mycobiota associated with Hylurgops palliatus (Gyll.) on Pinus sylvestris L. in Poland

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2011
The assemblage and abundance of fungal species associated with Hylurgops palliatus on Pinus sylvestris, were studied in Poland. Fungi were isolated from beetles of H. palliatus and their galleries collected from three populations.
