Devastating outbreak of bark beetles in the Czech Republic: Drivers, impacts, and management implications
TL;DR: In this paper, the Czech Republic has recently become Europe's epicenter of the outbreak of spruce bark beetle Ips typographus, the most aggressive species in Eurasia, and a countrywide outbreak dynamic during the period 2003-2019, with a special focus on the period 2017-2019 when the outbreak reached an unprecedented intensity.

Unravelling the gut bacteriome of Ips (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae): identifying core bacterial assemblage and their ecological relevance.
Amrita Chakraborty,Muhammad Zubair Ashraf,Roman Modlinger,Jiří Synek,Fredrik Schlyter,Fredrik Schlyter,Amit Roy +6 more
TL;DR: The data expanded the current knowledge about core gut bacterial communities in Ips bark beetles and their putative function such as cellulose degradation, nitrogen fixation, detoxification of defensive plant compounds, and inhibition of pathogens, which could serve as a basis for further metatranscriptomics and metaproteomics investigations.
Core Mycobiome and Their Ecological Relevance in the Gut of Five Ips Bark Beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae).
Amrita Chakraborty,Roman Modlinger,Muhammad Zubair Ashraf,Jiří Synek,Fredrik Schlyter,Fredrik Schlyter,Amit Roy +6 more
TL;DR: The gut mycobiont assemblage in bark beetles and their putative ecological relevance are identified and an enriched understanding of bark beetle-fungal symbiosis is filling the existing knowledge gap in the field but may also unleash an unforeseen potential for future bark beetle management.
Felled trap trees as the traditional method for bark beetle control: Can the trapping performance be increased?
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of felling date, tree diameter, site shading, and weather conditions on the pattern of trap tree infestation by bark beetles was evaluated. And the results indicated that foresters should continue to use large-diameter trees located on non-shaded sites as felled trap trees.

Quantification of time delay between damages caused by windstorms and by Ips typographus
Roman Modlinger,Petr Novotný +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the damage caused by wind and European spruce bark beetle (I. typographus L.) on the basis of the reports about the occurrence of harmful forest agents for the period 1964−1991 across former regional state forest directorates.
