▪ Abstract Scolytid bark beetles that colonize living conifers are frequently associated with
specific fungi that are carried in specialized structures or on the body surface. These fungi …

Pine-feeding bark beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) interact chemically with their host pines
(Coniferales: Pinaceae) via the behavioral, physiological, and biochemical effects of one …

summary The wood (xylem) in a living tree is protected from microbial attack by the
secondary plant surface (periderm and rhytidome), which provides an effective barrier …

In October–November 2011 we measured trace gas emission factors from seven prescribed
fires in South Carolina (SC), US, using two Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) …

A major challenge confronting ecologists involves scaling up and down across various
levels of biological organization. 12 The ability to conduct such scaling is important, because …

Chemical, physiological and behavioral components of pheromone communication have
been described for a number of bark beetle species, yet our understanding of how these …

We have measured emission factors for 19 trace gas species and particulate matter (PM 2.5)
from 14 prescribed fires in chaparral and oak savanna in the southwestern US, as well as …

This study considered how host plant allelochemicals may contribute to defense against
insects and fungi that jointly colonize the subcortical tissues of trees, the relative roles of …

Terpenoid substances in forest trees are versatile biochemical systems for use as genetic
markers and for studying genetic regulation at the biochemical level. Univariate, multivariate …

This study characterized the chemical response of healthy red pine to artificial inoculation
with the bark beetle-vectored fungus Leptographium terebrantis. In addition, we sought to …
