Bark beetle ( Ips typographus ) protein elicitors trigger temporally structured immune responses in Norway spruce ( Picea abies ) seedlings
Abstract Norway spruce (Picea abies) responds to attacks by the spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus) through the rapid activation of local defense mechanisms, but field studies can be difficult to standardize due to variable attack pressure and environmental heterogeneity. Here, we developed a phytotron-based assay that mimics early beetle-associated stress using insect-derived protein extracts, enabling reproducible molecular analyses under controlled conditions.

Increasing Spring Temperatures Advance Post‐Diapause Swarming and Prolong the Reproductive Period in the Bark Beetle Ips typographus
1 Introduction Insects living in habitats with seasonally fluctuating resources are forced to adjust their life cycles and time their spatio-temporal occurrence. Dormancy is an effective strategy to mitigate the effects of periodic adverse conditions, such as cold, drought or lack of critical resources, while exploiting favourable phases (Denlinger 2022; Ragland, Armbruster, and Meuti 2019).
Complex population genetic structure of the bark beetle predator Thanasimus formicarius (L.) (Coleoptera: Cleridae) across its European range
INTRODUCTION The ant beetle Thanasimus formicarius (L.) is one of the most relevant, abundant and well-studied bark beetle predators in Europe (Heidger, 1995; Hilszczański et al., 2007; Kenis et al., 2004; Schroeder, 1999b).
High plasticity in diapause responses benefits bark beetles in a changing climate
INTRODUCTION Animals living in seasonally changing environments have evolved different adaptations to exploit resources during favourable periods and to survive unfavourable phases of the year. Many insects enter dormancy to time their seasonal occurrence, to cope with adverse conditions, or to ensure synchronisation with mating partners or food (Denlinger, 2022; Koštál, 2006).
