Cross-scale Drivers of Natural Disturbances Prone to Anthropogenic Amplification: The Dynamics of Bark Beetle Eruptions (2008, background): “A rapid flow of resin can pitch out the first beetles that enter a tree, inhibit the attraction of flying beetles to the tree (Erbilgin et al. 2003), or delay beetles long enough for the inducible defenses to activate.”
A review of semiochemicals associated with bark beetle (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) pests of coniferous trees: A focus on beetle interactions with other pests and their associates (2013, background): “Initial host location by some species is mediated by volatiles from host tree semiochemicals (Wallin and Raffa, 2002; Erbilgin et al., 2003).”
Pine monoterpenes and pine bark beetles: a marriage of convenience for defense and chemical communication (2006, background): “The response of T. dubius to the I. pini aggregation pheromone (ipsdienol and lanierone) in Wisconsin was significantly and dose-dependently enhanced by the addition of racemic a-pinene (Erbilgin et al. 2003).”
