The Apennines as a cryptic Pleistocene refugium of the bark beetle Pityogenes chalcographus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) [PDF]

Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2019
The Apennine Mountains in Italy are an important biogeographical region and of particular interest in phylogeographical research, because they have been a refugium during Pleistocene glaciation events for numerous European species. We performed a genetic study on the Eurasian bark beetle Pityogenes chalcographus (Linnaeus, 1760), focusing on two ...

Divergent Trends in Insect Disturbance Across Europe's Temperate and Boreal Forests [PDF]

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 11, November 2025.
Across temperate and boreal Europe, tree mortality caused by insects has risen during the 21st century, yet interactions among insect species and their host trees are complex. While mortality from wood‐boring insects in conifers has increased, defoliation caused by multiple moth species has declined.

Pleistocene climate cycling and host plant association shaped the demographic history of the bark beetle Pityogenes chalcographus [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2018
AbstractHistorical climatic oscillations and co-evolutionary dependencies were key evolutionary drivers shaping the current population structure of numerous organisms. Here, we present a genome-wide study on the biogeography of the bark beetle Pityogenes chalcographus, a common and widespread insect in Eurasia.

Negative impacts of insecticide‐treated methods and slot traps for trapping of Ips cembrae on nontarget invertebrates [PDF]

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 7, Page 3482-3492, July 2025.
The negative impacts of using insecticide‐treated methods and slot traps against Ips cembrae were evaluated. Negative impacts on predator species of bark beetles such as Thanasimus formicarius and Red‐Listed species were described. Abstract BACKGROUND Ips cembrae is serious forest pest of European larch (Larix decidua).

Mitochondrial phylogenies in the light of pseudogenes and Wolbachia: re-assessment of a bark beetle dataset [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2010
Phylogenetic studies based on mtDNA become increasingly questioned because of potential pitfalls due to mitochondrial pseudgenes and mitochondrial selective sweeps.

Reproductive Manipulators in the Bark Beetle Pityogenes chalcographus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)—The Role of Cardinium, Rickettsia, Spiroplasma, and Wolbachia [PDF]

Journal of Insect Science, 2018
Heritable bacterial endosymbionts can alter the biology of numerous arthropods. They can influence the reproductive outcome of infected hosts, thus affecting the ecology and evolution of various arthropod species. The spruce bark beetle Pityogenes chalcographus (L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) was reported to express partial, unidirectional

Weak population genetic structure in Eurasian spruce bark beetle over large regional scales in Sweden [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 7, July 2022., 2022
We investigated the genetic structure of the Eurasian spruce bark beetles over 800 km in Sweden using Restriction site associated DNA yielding thousands of markers across the genome. Our study show that population structure over this scale is weak, but we find indications of isolation by distance and that the Northern populations tended to be ...

List of non‐EU Scolytinae of coniferous hosts [PDF]

EFSA Journal, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2020., 2020
Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Plant Health prepared a list of non‐EU Scolytinae spp. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) affecting coniferous hosts. A literature review and search of databases, conducted up to January 2019, identified 804 Scolytinae species and subspecies of coniferous hosts. These Scolytinae were

Natural-history traits suspected behind interspecific variations of bark- and wood-boring beetles in response to trap size and design [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The performances of traps used for pest monitoring are not well understood. Variable trap sizes and shapes make cross-comparisons difficult. We tested with four Scolytinae species (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) a set of traps of the same model (fan-traps ...
