Bark beetles are a principal source of tree mortality in conifer forests, with beetle distribution
and beetle-associated tree mortality increasing in frequency and extent. While bark beetles …

The foraging behavior and survivorship of termites are modified by the presence of wood-
inhabiting fungi. Nonetheless, it is not clear if these interactions are beneficial, negative, or …

Previous studies showed that many wood-rotting fungi were attractive to termites; however,
little attention has been paid to the relationship between termites and soil fungus. In the …

This is the second volume on termites presented in the series Sustainability in Plant and
Crop Protection. The previous one dealt with biology, social behaviour and economic …

Although subterranean termites live within soil, little attention has been paid on the potential
interaction among subterranean termites and soil microbes. Herein, we conducted different …

Abstract Hetertermes indicola Wasman (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae) is a highly wood-
destructive termite species in the urban settings of Pakistan. This study evaluated the …

Bark beetle outbreaks result in massive amounts of deadwood which are a significant
carbon reservoir that can impact forest ecosystems. Additionally, bark beetle-introduced …

Few studies have focused on interactions between subterranean termites and the
ophiostomatoid fungal associates of pine bark beetles or root feeding weevils. Field stake …

Bark beetle outbreaks are increasing in frequency and intensity, generating massive
inventories of dead trees globally. During attacks, trees are pre-inoculated with …

Many bluestain (ophiostomatoid) fungi are inoculated into trees via bark beetle activity, but
their ecological roles are not fully understood, particularly for interactions with invertebrates …
