Beetle-Pathogen Interactions in Conifer Forests (Applied Botany and Crop Science)

Bys: G. M. Filip and T. D. Schowalter

Bark beetles and pathogens are recognized as two of the most important components of conifer forest ecosystems, and their interactions have major consequences for timber production and ecological processes. Because of the close interaction between these groups of organisms, management of their effects requires an integrated approach rather than the traditional separation of the insect and pathogen transmission, while pathogens often predispose trees to bark beetle attack.
