Risk of bark beetle (Coleoptera, Scolytidae) damage in a spruce forest restoration area in central Finland

open access: yesSilva Fennica, 2008
A beetle inventory using window traps was performed to examine the effect of forest restoration by artificial addition of dead wood on the abundance of beetles and to evaluate the risk of bark beetle damage in a forest restoration area.

Cambioxylophagous fauna of young spruce stands damaged by snow in the Beskids

open access: yesJournal of Forest Science, 2007
In 25 to 40-years-old stands damaged by snow in the Beskids, the fauna of cambioxylophages was analyzed both on standing breaks and lying break-off stems.

Performance of the tree‐killing bark beetles Ips typographus and Pityogenes chalcographus in non‐indigenous lodgepole pine and their historical host Norway spruce

open access: yes, 2018
The North American lodgepole pine Pinus contorta has been planted on 660 000 ha in Sweden. We compared the performance of Ips typographus and Pityogenes chalcographus in storm‐felled and standing pheromone‐baited trees of the historical host species ...

First Report of Sydowia polyspora Causing Current Season Needle Necrosis on Abies grandis in Sweden

open access: yesForest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Current season needle necrosis (CSNN) is a conifer foliar disease and a particular problem for Christmas tree plantations, as it causes necrosis and premature foliage shedding, resulting in significant economic and aesthetic devaluation. In September 2022, CSNN symptoms were detected on 10‐year‐old Abies grandis trees at a plantation located ...

Repellent Effects of Host Essential Oils and Limited Effects of Host Length on Tree‐Killing Bark Beetle Attacks

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 1, Page 37-44, January 2026.
This study demonstrated that the host essential oil significantly reduced Polygraphus proximus Blandford (Coleoptera: Scolytinae) attack density, but the density did not differ significantly among logs of various lengths of Abies sachalinensis. Our study suggests that host essential oils can perform as repellents against conifer‐infesting bark beetles.

Laboratory evaluation of entomopathogenic fungi as biological control agents against the bark beetle Pityogenes scitus Blandford (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in Kashmir

open access: yesFolia Forestalia Polonica, 2018
The bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) are widely recognised as one of the most damaging group of forest pests. Entomopathogenic fungi have shown great potential for the management of some bark beetle species. The efficacy of three entomopathogenic
