Resilience and functionality of European Norway spruce forests are increasingly threatened
by mass outbreaks of the bark beetle Ips typographus promoted by heat, wind throw and …

Covering: 1976 to 2020. Although constituting a limited chemical family, phytostilbenes
represent an emblematic group of molecules among natural compounds. Ever since their …

Employing the clear, student-friendly style that made previous editions so popular, Insect
Physiology and Biochemistry, Fourth Edition presents an engaging and authoritative guide …

Scolytine beetles show enormous diversity in their mating behaviors, host plant
associations, chemical and acoustic signaling, symbiotic relationships, and other critical …

Prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbial symbiotic communities span through kingdoms. The
vast microbial gene pool extends the host genome and supports adaptations to changing …

White spruce (Picea glauca), a gymnosperm tree, has been established as one of the
models for conifer genomics. We describe the draft genome assemblies of two white spruce …

It is becoming abundantly clear that the microbes associated with plants and insects can
profoundly influence plant-insect interactions. Here, we focus on recent findings and …

Outbreaks of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus) have decimated millions of
hectares of conifer forests in Europe in recent years. The ability of these 4.0 to 5.5 mm long …

The pine weevil (Hylobius abietis), a major pest of conifer forests throughout Europe, feeds
on the bark and cambium, tissues rich in terpenoid resins that are toxic to many insect …

Drought affects the complex interactions between Norway spruce, the bark beetle Ips
typographus and associated microorganisms. We investigated the interplay of tree water …
