persistence under climate change and the forecasted increase of extreme heat and drought …

Host shift is ecologically advantageous and a crucial driver for herbivore insect speciation.
Insects on the non-native host obtain enemy-free space and confront reduced competition …

While the main challenge in intertropical and boreal regions is tackling deforestation and
forest resource degradation, forests and forestry in temperate regions face what may appear …

Associational resistance theory predicts that insect herbivory decreases with increasing tree
diversity in forest ecosystems. However, the generality of this effect and its underlying …

Extreme weather episodes related to anthropogenic climate change have enhanced the
frequency and magnitude of bark beetle disturbance, causing worldwide mortality of forests …

As the development of the eight‐toothed spruce bark beetle Ips typographus is temperature‐
