Phytochemicals as mediators for host range expansion of a native invasive forest insect herbivore
N Erbilgin - New Phytologist, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Mountain pine beetle (MPB) has recently invaded jack pine forests in western Canada. This
invasion signifies a climate change‐induced range expansion by a native insect. The …

Biology and resource acquisition of mistletoes, and the defense responses of host plants
Background Mistletoes are the most successful group of obligatory hemi-parasitic flowering
plants that attach to the host via haustorium for obtaining water and minerals. This review …

Drought-mediated changes in tree physiological processes weaken tree defenses to bark beetle attack
Interactions between water stress and induced defenses and their role in tree mortality due
to bark beetles are poorly understood. We performed a factorial experiment on 48 mature …

Defence syndromes in lodgepole–whitebark pine ecosystems relate to degree of historical exposure to mountain pine beetles
Warming climate is allowing tree‐killing bark beetles to expand their ranges and access

Combined drought and bark beetle attacks deplete non‐structural carbohydrates and promote death of mature pine trees
How carbohydrate reserves in conifers respond to drought and bark beetle attacks are
poorly understood. We investigated changes in carbohydrate reserves and carbon …

A Pine in Distress: How Infection by Different Pathogenic Fungi Affect Lodgepole Pine Chemical Defenses
Abstract In North America, lodgepole pine is frequently subjected to attacks by various biotic
agents that compromise its ability to defend against subsequent attacks by insect herbivores …

Roles of bacteria in the bark beetle holobiont–how do they shape this forest pest?
P García‐Fraile - Annals of Applied Biology, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Bark beetles are well‐known forest pests, some species inducing massive attacks on trees,
resulting in the devastation of entire woodlands. Bark beetles are associated with …

The ecological impact of pest-induced tree dieback on insect biodiversity in Yunnan pine plantations, China
W Cai, C Yang, X Wang, C Wu, L Larrieu… - Forest Ecology and …, 2021 - Elsevier
China has recently announced a reform of forestry policy, with a major goal being to
transform from plantation to heterogeneous forests, which have higher resistance to pests …

Anatomical defences against bark beetles relate to degree of historical exposure between species and are allocated independently of chemical defences within trees
Conifers possess chemical and anatomical defences against tree‐killing bark beetles that
feed in their phloem. Resins accumulating at attack sites can delay and entomb beetles …
