First Report of Ophiostoma clavatum and Fusarium verticillioides Associated With Ips acuminatus‐Infested Scots Pine in Western Ukraine [PDF]
Plant-Environment InteractionsOver the past two decades, dieback of Pinus sylvestris L. stands has increased across Europe, largely due to mass outbreaks of the bark beetle, in particular, Ips acuminatus Gyll. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae).

Exposure to Fungal Volatiles Can Influence Volatile Emissions From Other Ophiostomatoid Fungi [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Fungal volatile organic compounds (FVOCs) can act as intra- and inter-kingdom communication signals that influence the growth and behaviors of organisms involved in antagonistic or mutualistic relationships with fungi.

Semiochemical inhibitors for protecting conifers from bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in the Western United States: research, development, and application [PDF]
Frontiers in Insect ScienceIn the western U.S., the research, development and application (RD&A) of semiochemical inhibitors for protecting conifers from bark beetles has focused on antiaggregation pheromones and, to a lesser extent, nonhost volatiles. The sequence begins with

Nutritional and pathogenic fungi associated with the pine engraver beetle trigger comparable defenses in Scots pine. [PDF]
Tree Physiology, 2012 Conifer bark beetles are often associated with fungal complexes whose components have different ecological roles. Some associated species are nutritionally obligate fungi, serving as nourishment to the larvae, whereas others are pathogenic blue-stain fungi known to be involved in the interaction with host defenses.

Evaluation of Insecticides for Protecting Southwestern Ponderosa Pines from Attack by Engraver Beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) [PDF]
Journal of Economic Entomology, 2006 Insecticides that might protect pine trees from attack by engraver beetles (Ips spp.) have not been rigorously tested in the southwestern United States. We conducted two field experiments to evaluate the efficacy of several currently and potentially labeled preventative insecticides for protecting high-value ponderosa pine, Pinus ponderosa Dougl ex ...

Dynamics of pheromone production and communication in the mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins, and the pine engraver, Ips pini (Say) (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) [PDF]
Chemoecology, 2000 The mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins, and the pine engraver, Ips pini (Say), often co-exist in lodgepole pine, Pinus contorta var. latifolia Engelmann. Intra- and interspecific semiochemical communication occurs in both species and their complete semiochemical repertoire and precise dynamics of pheromone production have not been ...
