The ambrosia beetle–fungus farming symbiosis is more heterogeneous than previously
thought. There is not one but many ambrosia symbioses. Beetle-fungus specificity is clade …

Shot hole borer (SHB)-Fusarium dieback (FD) is a new pest-disease complex affecting
numerous tree species in California and is vectored by two distinct, but related ambrosia …

In the present study, we investigated the in-vitro and in-vivo effects of root endophytic fungal
species isolated from squirting cucumber Ecballium elaterium on morphological …

Members of a complex of cryptic species, that correspond morphologically to the ambrosia
beetle Euwallacea fornicatus (Eichhoff)(Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), were …

Studies of symbioses have traditionally focused on explaining one-to-one interactions
between organisms. In reality, symbioses are often much more dynamic. They can involve …

Benefits provided by urban trees are increasingly threatened by non-native pests and
pathogens. Monitoring of these invasions is critical for the effective management and …

The polyphagous shot hole borer (PSHB) beetle is a recent invader in South Africa.
Together with its fungal symbiont, Fusarium euwallaceae, it can rapidly kill highly …

Introduction Ambrosia beetles maintain strict associations with specific lineages of fungi.
However, anthropogenic introductions of ambrosia beetles into new ecosystems can result …

The bacterial and fungal community involved in ambrosia beetle fungiculture remains poorly
studied compared to the famous fungus-farming ants and termites. Here we studied …
