Outbreak dynamics of the spruce bark beetle Ips typographus in time and space [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The European spruce bark beetle Ips typographus (L.) is one of the most important pests of mature Norway spruce Picea abies (Karst.) in Europe. Outbreaks (periods with large-scale beetle-caused tree mortality) are often triggered by large-scale ...

Effect of woodstack structure on invertebrate abundance and diversity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Reduced quantities of dead wood in managed forests have resulted in a reduction in the abundance and diversity of saproxylic invertebrates to the extent that many are now considered red list species.

EcoViz: a tool for visual analysis and photorealistic rendering of forest landscape model simulations

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
Simulation outputs from forest landscape models are complex, and tools for their visual analysis and effective communication are often limited. In this paper, we present EcoViz, a novel, open‐source visualisation platform designed to complement existing forest models by providing advanced 3D visualisation capabilities.

Entomogenic Climate Change [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Rapidly expanding insect populations, deforestation, and global climate change threaten to destabilize key planetary carbon pools, especially the Earth's forests which link the micro-ecology of insect infestation to climate.

Evidence of negative density‐dependent dispersal in an invasive forest pest

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Understanding the mountain pine beetle's dispersal patterns is critical for evaluating its threat to Canada's boreal forests. It is generally believed that higher beetle densities lead to increased long‐distance dispersal. One possible explanation is that beetle aggregation pheromones become repellent at high concentrations, causing beetles to

Interrupting the Response of \u3ci\u3eDendroctonus Simplex\u3c/i\u3e Leconte (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) to Compounds That Elicit Aggregation of Adults [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The eastern larch beetle, Dendroctonus simplex LeConte (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), is a native bark beetle that has caused significant mortality to tamarack, Larix laricinia, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Spatial and temporal dynamics of a bark beetle outbreak in the Eastern European Alps

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The Alps are currently considered among the ecoregions with the highest magnitude of average bark beetle disturbance per year in Europe. We present a disturbance characterization based on a unique database including more than 50,000 records of ground‐based bark beetle disturbance observations in the Eastern Alps from 2020 to 2023.

Size-dependent behavioral and antennal responses to doses of (+)-isopinocamphone and 1,8-cineole mixed with pheromone: a potential host selection strategy in female Ips typographus L

open access: yesAnnals of Forest Science
Key message This study revealed differing behavioral and antennal responses between large and small female Ips typographus to two bioactive oxygenated monoterpenoids, ( +)-isopinocamphone and 1,8-cineole, which serve contrasting ecological roles as ...

Testing Projected Climate Change Conditions on the Endoconidiophora polonica/Norway spruce Pathosystem Shows Fungal Strain Specific Effects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Climate changes, exemplified by increased temperatures and CO2 concentration, pose a global threat to forest health. Of particular concern are pests and pathogens, with a warming climate altering their distributions and evolutionary capacity, while ...
