Impact of Mountain Pine Beetle Attack on Water Balance of Lodgepole Pine Forests in Alberta
DownloadSpring 2013
In recent decades mountain pine beetle (MPB) has become an important natural disturbance agent in western Canada, thus the impact of this disturbance will likely be an important component affecting water resources in this region. Despite the widespread recognition of the potential changes, there...

Host Plant Chemistry Affects Fungal Interactions, Which Influence the Production of Volatile Fungal Metabolites
DownloadSpring 2019
Mountain pine beetle (MPB) has recently expanded its host range to novel jack pine forests in Alberta. Invasion success of MPB may depend on the outcome of interactions between its primary symbiotic fungus Grosmannia clavigera with other organisms sharing the same host. Among resources-sharing...
