DOI: 10.1007/s10021-017-0175-3
Abstract: AbstractClimate-driven increases in wildfires, drought conditions, and insect outbreaks are critical threats to forest carbon stores. In particular, bark beetles are important disturbance agents although their long-term interactions with future climate change are poorly understood.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cois.2017.09.005
Abstract: Pine bark beetles rely on aggregation pheromones to coordinate mass attacks and thus reproduce in host trees. The structural similarity between many pheromone components and those of defensive tree resin led to early suggestions that… read more here.
