Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 2, Page 282-295, February 2026.We reveal that early stages of deadwood decomposition follow ecological rules of ephemeral resource patches. By tracking beetle communities over 12 years, we show how decomposition dynamics shape community assembly patterns, highlighting the importance of continuous deadwood input for sustaining saproxylic beetles in temperate forests.

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 76-81, February 2026.Neither gallery length nor eggs per female varied significantly with attack density, suggesting P. proximus adults disregard galleries constructed by conspecifics and continue to lay eggs irrespective of attack density. Number of adult offspring per female decreased significantly as attack density increased, indicating that intraspecific competition ...

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 49-60, February 2026.Abstract Wood boring ambrosia beetles play a central role in the spread of Ceratocystis wilt of ‘ōhi‘a, a fungal disease caused by Ceratocystis lukuohia that kills the bioculturally important ‘ōhiʻa (Metrosideros polymorpha) tree. Beetles contribute to the spread of the disease by extruding fungus‐infected wood particles (frass). Disease mitigation can

Molecular phylogeny and taxonomic review of Premnobiini Browne, 1962 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) [PDF]
, 2013 The taxonomy of Premnobiini is reviewed in the context a molecular phylogeny including species of Ipini, Dryocoeotini, and Xyleborini. DNA data from COI, 16S, 28S, and CAD (~ 2640 characters) were generated for 79 species and phylogenies were ...

From beginning to end: the synecology of tree‐killing bark beetles, fungi, and trees
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 314-335, February 2026.ABSTRACT Over a century of research has revealed an amazing complexity of behaviours and physiological adaptations that allow tiny bark beetles to overcome large trees, sometimes resulting in outbreaks that kill millions of trees. Turning a tree into a home and successfully raising offspring involves constant interactions among the beetles, the tree ...

Mountain Research and Development, 2016 This study aimed to determine whether debarking of Norway spruce stumps influences the intensity of their colonization by insects. The observed stumps of Picea abies (L.) H Karst were located in the eastern Sudety Mountains at elevations between 600 and ...

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Aim It is not trivial to estimate the relative contributions of dispersal, vicariance, and range contraction in explaining the present‐day distribution of ancient clades. In this study, we aim to infer the historical biogeography of bark and ambrosia beetles using a genus‐level time‐calibrated molecular phylogeny that encompasses 70% of all ...
