Effects of salvage logging and sanitation felling on bark beetle (Ips typographus L.) infestations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed a survey dataset with annual resolution that covers 9 years and 487 forest districts (82% of the forested area) all over Switzerland to quantify the drivers of bark beetle infestations, in particular salvage logging and sanitation felling.

A predictive framework to assess spatio‐temporal variability of infestations by the European spruce bark beetle
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Poisson log-normal models in a Bayesian framework to analyze the spatio-temporal dynamics of bark beetle infestation spots at the forest district level.

TL;DR: In this article, a map of the northern expansion edge of the pine processionary moth, Thaumetopea pityocampa, from Western Europe to Turkey is presented, then detailed for 20 countries of Europe, Asia Minor and North Africa, including future trends.

Pronounced fluctuations of spruce bark beetle (Scolytinae: Ips typographus) populations do not invoke genetic differentiation
TL;DR: The genetic results suggest that spruce bark beetles are highly mobile, precluding the formation of a spatial structure at neutral molecular markers, and this molecular–genetic approach does not allow us to discriminate among regional gene pools and to identify the origin of expanding beetle populations.

Forstliche schadorganismen im Zeichen des Klimawandels
TL;DR: The predicted increase in temperature, dry summers, and extreme meteorological events will affect many harmful species both by directly accelerating their propagation rates as well as by weakening their host plants.
