Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms Linking Drought, Hydraulics, Carbon Metabolism, and Vegetation Mortality
TL;DR: Events of regional-scale vegetation mortality appear to be increasing in a variety of biomes throughout the Earth and are frequently associated with increased temperatures, droughts, and often with outbreaks of biotic agents such as insects and pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactions among scolytid bark beetles, their associated fungi, and live host conifers
TL;DR: Scolytid bark beetles that colonize living conifers are frequently associated with specific fungi that are carried in specialized structures or on the body surface, suggesting that there is mutual benefit to the fitness of both beetles and fungi.

Positive-feedback Switches in Plant Communities
TL;DR: A vegetation positive-feedback switch is a process in which a community modifies the environment, making it more suitable for that community as mentioned in this paper, by modifying any of several features of the environment including water, pH, soil elements, light, temperature, wind, fire, or allelopathic toxins.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effectiveness of vegetation management practices for prevention and control of bark beetle infestations in coniferous forests of the western and southern United States
Christopher J. Fettig,Kier D. Klepzig,Ronald F. Billings,A. Steven Munson,T. Evan Nebeker,Jose F. Negron,John T. Nowak +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the current state of the knowledge and identify gaps for making informed decisions on proposed silvicultural treatments for mitigating the negative impacts of bark beetles on forest ecosystems.

Journal ArticleDOI
Reaction kinetics of poikilotherm development.
TL;DR: A stochastic thermodynamic model of poikilotherm development has been derived from the Eyring equation assuming multiple activity states of the underlying developmental control enzymes and the resulting equation has been found applicable to a wide range of organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mountain Pine Beetle Brood Production in Relation to Thickness of Lodgepole Pine Phloem
TL;DR: The effects of phloem thickness of lodgepole pine, Pinus contorta Douglas, and number of inches of egg gallery of Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins on brood production of the beetle were investigated in laboratory studies.
MonographDOI
The mountain Pine beetle in Lodgepole Pine forests.
Arthur L. Roe,Gene D. Amman +1 more
TL;DR: Intensities of mountain pine beetle and dwarfmistletoe damage are influenced by forest associations and elevation, and more effective beetle control and alternatives such as type conversion, shorter rotations, mixing species, and developing better size and age class distribution must be considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mites associated with Southern Pine Bark Beetles in Allen Parish, Louisiana
John C. Moser,Lawrence M. Roton +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the southern pine beetle and allied scolytids in an outbreak area in Allen Parish, La. were associated with mites associated with the Southern pine beetle.
