Resilience and functionality of European Norway spruce forests are increasingly threatened
by mass outbreaks of the bark beetle Ips typographus promoted by heat, wind throw and …

The purview of chemical ecology and the recent criticisms of improper application of theory
to bark beetle phenomena is briefly discussed. Seven levels of research in chemical ecology …

Outbreaks of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus) have decimated millions of
hectares of conifer forests in Europe in recent years. The ability of these 4.0 to 5.5 mm long …

Over the last decades, climate change has triggered an increase in the frequency of spruce
bark beetle (Ips typographus L.) in Central Europe. More than 50% of forests in the Czech …

Bark beetles (order Coleoptera: family Scolytidae) comprise a taxonomic group of species
that look similar although they differ widely in their ecology and biochemical adaptations to …

Abstract Bark beetles (Curculionidae: Scolytinae) spend most of their life in tissues of host
plants, with several species representing economically relevant pests. Their behaviour is …

Background Bark beetles are major pests of conifer forests, and their behavior is primarily
mediated via olfaction. Targeting the odorant receptors (ORs) may thus provide avenues …

The bark beetle Ips typographus carries numerous fungi that could be assisting the beetle in
colonizing live Norway spruce (Picea abies) trees. Phenolic defenses in spruce phloem are …

Ips typographus (L.) and Pityogenes chalcographus (L.)(Coleoptera: Curculionidae) are two
common bark beetle species on Norway spruce in Eurasia. Multiple biotic and abiotic factors …

This book focuses on chemicals that effect aggregation for mating and elicit sexual behavior
in insects, mites, and ticks, mainly on" sex pheromonal" or" mating" activity. These …
