Abstract We examine consequences of climate-induced range expansion on community composition and diversity within trees attacked by the southern pine beetle (Dendroctonus frontalis Zimmermann). At the northernmost limit of the southern pine beetle range where...
Abstract We estimated annual timber growth, removals, and mortalities under various scenarios of the spread of emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire; EAB) within Texas. Future annual ash EAB-induced mortalities were simulated to follow either a normal or...
Abstract The southern pine beetle, Dendroctonus frontalis Zimmermann (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), is among the most destructive bark beetle pests of pines (Pinaceae) of the southeast and mid-Atlantic United States of America, Mexico, and Central America....
Abstract The southern pine beetle, Dendroctonus frontalis Zimmermann (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) is a major destructive pest of Pinus L. In the southeastern United States, numbers of this species and a major predator, Thanasimus dubius (Fabricius)...
Abstract Native and nonnative insects and diseases can result in detrimental impacts to trees and forests, including the loss of economic resources and ecosystem services. Increases in globalization and changing human behaviors have created new anthropogenic pathways...
Abstract Forest biotic populations and communities are undergoing irreversible changes due to climatic perturbations, and these effects may be exacerbated by insect pests. In the southeastern United States (U.S.), Dendroctonus frontalis is one of the most important...

Abstract Several species of aggressive bark beetle in the genus Dendroctonus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) undergo large fluctuations in population density with distinct outbreak and non-outbreak phases. We investigated attributes we hypothesized as subject to...
