Journal ArticleDOI
Forest Insects and Climate Change
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a comprehensive discussion of the subject, with special attention to insect range expansion, insect abundance, impacts on forest ecosystems, and effects on forest insect communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate-induced changes in host tree–insect phenology may drive ecological state-shift in boreal forests
Deepa S. Pureswaran,Louis De Grandpré,David Paré,Anthony R. Taylor,Martin Barrette,Hubert Morin,Jacques Régnière,Daniel Kneeshaw +7 more
TL;DR: Long-term monitoring, manipulative experiments, and process modeling of climate-induced phenological changes on herbivorous insect pests, their host tree species, and natural enemies in northern forests are crucial to predicting species range shifts and assessing ecological and economic impacts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Host selection and feeding preference of Agrilus planipennis (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) on ash (Fraxinus spp.).
TL;DR: Although beetles consumed every ash species offered to them, Manchurian ash and blue ash were least preferred in feeding bioassays and it was found that the overall volatile profiles of the six ash species differed significantly in their relative amounts of antennally active compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synergistic Blends of Monoterpenes for Aggregation Pheromones of the Mountain Pine Beetle (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
TL;DR: The highly synergistic effect of combining myrcene plus terpinolene with the mountain pine beetle aggregation pheromone components opens up the potential for suppression of populations through semiochemical-based mass trapping.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed natural disturbances in boreal and temperate forest ecosystems for the period 2001-2014, aiming to quantify their within-and between-biome variation and compare the climate sensitivity of disturbances across biomes.
