Air pollution and its multifaceted effects on insect pollinators: A review

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 1-17, February 2026.
Air pollution disrupts plant‐pollinator interactions by impairing floral signal transmission, altering foraging behaviour, and reducing pollinator fitness, flight efficiency, reproduction and survival, posing serious threats to ecological stability.

The Future of Spruce Budworm Research [PDF]

The Forestry Chronicle, 1989
What is the future of budworm research? In a word, bleak. Having said that, I must give my reasons for saying so. First I shall give a brief historical perspective. Then I shall outline the present situation, the control options, and the outlook for new options.

A multi‐scale assessment of interior Douglas‐fir tree mortality for hazard and risk assessments

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Land managers use hazard (susceptibility) and risk rating systems to guide the application of forest management treatments that aim to reduce future damages to forests. Rating systems are typically designed for individual damage agents, but tree mortality often results from multiple agents without a clear proximate cause.

Resist!: Sustaining forest carbon sequestration and wood production after insect disturbance

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 23, Issue 10, December 2025.
Disturbances from insect pests threaten ecologically and economically important goods and services supplied by forests, including wood production and carbon sequestration. We highlight the factors that influence these services’ resistance, a term quantifying the initial response to disturbance.

Aerial spraying of bacterial insecticides to control spruce budworm defoliation leads to reduced carbon losses

Ecosphere, 2020
Spruce budworm (SBW) outbreaks are a major natural disturbance in boreal forests of eastern North America. During large‐scale infestations, aerial spraying of bacterial insecticides is used to suppress local high‐density SBW populations.

Evaluating the efficacy of eBird data for modeling historical population trajectories of North American birds and for monitoring populations of boreal and Arctic breeding species

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2020
Historic population trajectories for most North American bird species are largely unknown for years prior to circa 1970. Additionally, current estimates of population trajectories of boreal and Arctic breeding species are imprecise or biased because of ...

Monitoring Spruce Budworm with Light Traps: The Effect of Trap Position

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2014
Daily records of adult spruce budworms, Choristoneura fumiferana (Clemens) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), captured at light traps at multiple locations in New Brunswick in the 1970s, are analyzed in relation to the physical position of light traps (tree ...

Linking species composition shifts from satellite time series to disturbance regimes and Lidar-derived structural and mortality indicators in boreal mixedwoods

Ecological Indicators
Understanding species composition shifts in boreal mixedwoods forests is essential for anticipating forest succession pathways under changing disturbance regimes.

Perceptions of Spruce Budworm Monitoring, Management, and Remote Sensing Technology in Maine's Forest Sector

Maine Policy Review
Eastern spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana Clem; SBW) is a native forest pest that can severely damage spruce-fir forests in Maine. Monitoring SBW defoliation and populations is important to ensure forest managers make timely decisions regarding ...
