Phytochemicals as mediators for host range expansion of a native invasive forest insect herbivore.
Download2019-01-01
Mountain pine beetle (MPB, Dendroctonus ponderosae) has recently breached the geo-climatic barrier of the northern Rocky Mountains and invaded novel jack pine (Pinus banksiana) forests in western Canada. This breach signifies an unprecedented climate change-induced invasion of a new plant biome...

Guevara-Rozo, Sydne, Classens, Gail, Hussain, Altaf, Erbilgin, Nadir
Studies with conifer-infesting bark beetles commonly use bolts cut from trees to evaluate the effects of host tree quality on various aspects of insect biology. Yet, whether host quality changes between live trees and bolts cut from these trees has not been assessed. Particularly, changes in...

James, Patrick M.A., Huber, Dezene P.W.
Forest insects are showing increasing intensity of outbreaks and expanded ranges, and this has become a major challenge for forest managers. An understanding of these systems often depends upon detailed examination of complex interactions involving multiple organisms. In 2013, a team of...

Using a native plant-pathogen system as a model to investigate success of the invasive mountain pine beetle in jack pine
DownloadFall 2017
Tree-infesting organisms have recently expanded their ranges into many novel habitats where they will not only interact with new host tree species, but also with a myriad of other organisms that also share these hosts. Understanding the major factors and mechanisms that mediate...
