Potential for Range Expansion of Mountain Pine Beetle into the Boreal Forest of North America (2010, background): “Mountain pine beetle has no diapause to functionally synchronize populations with critical phenological events; its entire seasonal development is under direct temperature control (Logan and Bentz 1999; Logan and Powell 2001).”
Effect of climate change on range expansion by the mountain pine beetle in British Columbia (2003, background): “Variable Description Rationale P1 > 305 degree-days above 5.5°C from Aug. 1 to end of growing season (Boughner 1964), and >833 degreedays from Aug. 1 to Jul. 31 A univoltine life cycle synchronized with critical seasonal events is essential for mountain pine beetle survival (Logan and Powell 2001).”
Forest, climate and mountain pine beetle outbreak dynamics in Western Canada. (2006, background): “Studies by Logan and Bentz (1999) and Logan and Powell (2001) have shown that if heat accumulation during summer is sufficiently high, mountain pine beetle populations may be forced into partial multivoltinism (segments of the population having more than one generation per year) which will cause…”
Characterization of Gut-Associated Bacteria in Larvae and Adults of the Southern Pine Beetle, Dendroctonus frontalis Zimmermann (2006, background): “Their impacts are expected to increase markedly and expand into new latitudinal, altitudinal, and host species ranges as atmospheric temperatures rise (Logan and Powell 2001, Carroll et al. 2004).”
Whitebark pine and white pine blister rust in the Rocky Mountains of Canada and northern Montana (2008, background): “Logan and Powell (2001) suggest that predicted warmer summer temperatures in the future may allow MPB to more easily invade higher elevation habitats, where whitebark pine becomes an important host.”
Spatial–temporal analysis of species range expansion: the case of the mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae (2009, background): “This shift in climate, resulting in reduced cold-mortality (Logan and Powell, 2001), along with the abundance of connected habitat resulting from decades of fire suppression (Taylor et al., 2006), has created an ecological opportunity for the current outbreak and for the expansion of the…”
Can forest management based on natural disturbances maintain ecological resilience (2006, background): “…recent decades central interior British Columbia has experienced a tripling of susceptible mature pine forest as a result of reduced fire frequency, providing an unprecedented connectedness of the beetles’ preferred habitat type: mature pine forest (Logan and Powell 2001; Taylor and Carroll 2004).”
Mechanisms of plant survival and mortality during drought: why do some plants survive while others succumb to drought? (2008, background): “…population growth rate, the number of generations produced per year, synchrony of key developmental phases, winter mortality, and geographic range (Ungerer et al., 1999; Logan & Bentz, 1999; Ayres & Lombardero, 2000; Simberloff, 2000; Logan & Powell, 2001; Logan et al., 2003; Hicke et al., 2006).”
Evolution of insect‐plant relationships: chemical constraints, coadaptation, and concordance of insect/plant traits (2002, background): “Such warming will eventually exceed the lower levels resulting in non-functional ‘fractional voltinism’ partial generation changes to higher threshold levels (as occurred in the 1930s) permitting functional voltinism shifts and ‘climatic release’ of populations (Logan & Powell, 2001).”
Climate change could alter the distribution of mountain pine beetle outbreaks in western Canada (2012, background): “…considered ‘ high ’ or ‘ very high ’ probability of outbreak risk can decrease in risk with temperature increases above 2 ° C (Williams and Liebhold 2002, Hicke et al. 2006), typically attributed to broken adaptive seasonality cycles in previously conducive habitats (Logan and Powell 2001).”
Climate change and range expansion of an aggressive bark beetle: evidence of higher beetle reproduction in naïve host tree populations (2010, background): “Logan & Powell (2001) predicted that a warming of 2Æ5 C would result in a 7 northward shift in climatically suitable habitats, and render much of the boreal forest suitable to themountain pine beetle.”
Temperature dependence of the reproduction niche and its relevance for plant species distributions (2012, background): “…and species reproductive success, and the extensive application of our understanding of these connections in models for insect population dynamics (Logan & Powell, 2001; Règnière et al., 2009), the reproductive processes remain neglected in process-based plant SDMs. Process-based SDMs rely on…”
