Altered Carbohydrates Allocation by Associated Bacteria-fungi Interactions in a Bark Beetle-microbe Symbiosis
TL;DR: It is reported that dominant bacteria associated with RTB larvae buffer the competition by inhibiting the growth and D-glucose consumption of O. minus, and the mechanism of carbohydrate allocation in the RTB larva-microbe community, and its potential contribution to the maintenance of a symbiotic community is discussed.
Saccharide-mediated antagonistic effects of bark beetle fungal associates on larvae.
TL;DR: Experimental evidence is provided that three beetle-associated fungi modify the nutritional content of an artificial phloem diet, leading to a detrimental effect on the growth of Dendroctonus valens larvae, indicating that fungus-induced nutritional changes in bark beetle diet can affect larval growth.
Mutual interactions between an invasive bark beetle and its associated fungi.
TL;DR: Results show that D. valens associated fungus, O. minus, can be detrimental to its larvae; but, most importantly, they show that these notorious beetles have an outstanding adaptive response evidenced by the ability to produce volatiles that inhibit growth of harmful fungus.

TL;DR: It is suggested that predation by weaver ants limits the success of the non-pollinating P. mayri and therefore indirectly benefits the mutualism by increasing the reproductive success of both the pollinators and the plant.

Colonization patterns of the red turpentine beetle, Dendroctonus valens (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), in the Luliang Mountains, China
TL;DR: It is concluded from RTB colonization patterns, that RTB prefers to attack large trees in the valley, which may be useful in developing a pest‐management strategy.
