DOI: 10.1007/s00248-018-1188-y
Abstract: Nutritional mutualisms that ambrosia beetles have with fungi are poorly understood. Although these interactions were initially thought to be specific associations with a primary symbiont, there is increasing evidence that some of these fungi are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10886-025-01606-1
Abstract: Rapid ‘ōhiʻa death (ROD), caused by fungal pathogens Ceratocystis lukuohia and Ceratocystis huliohia, is devastating ʻōhiʻa (Metrosideros polymorpha), the keystone forest tree species of Hawaiʻi. Ceratocystidaceae fungi produce fruity volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and sticky… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.funeco.2017.04.007
Abstract: Abstract Bark and ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera; Scolytinae) establish trophic relationships with fungi, which could be also agents of plant diseases. Orthotomicus erosus (Wollaston) and Xyleborinus saxesenii (Ratzeburg) are two species of Palaearctic origin that have… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.funeco.2019.02.001
Abstract: Abstract Fungi in the orders Ophiostomatales and Microascales (Ascomycota), often designated as ophiostomatoid fungi, are frequent associates of scolytine bark and ambrosia beetles that colonize hardwood and coniferous trees. Several species, e.g., Ophiostoma novo-ulmi, are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0007485325100357
Abstract: Understanding the circadian rhythms of bark and ambrosia beetles (Scolytinae) is crucial for assessing their dispersal strategies, trophic specialisation, and microhabitat preferences. This study investigated circadian rhythms in Scolytinae communities using flight interception traps in… read more here.
