- Observed and anticipated impacts of drought on forest insects and diseases in the United States (2016, background): “For insects, range expansions and increases in the frequency and severity of outbreaks by some bark beetle species have already been documented (Bentz et al., 2009) and further increases are anticipated (Williams and Liebhold, 2002; Bentz et al., 2010; Sambaraju et al., 2012).”
- Interactions among the Mountain Pine Beetle, Fires, and Fuels (2014, background): “In particular, recent outbreaks of MPBs have been severe, long lasting, and well documented (Bentz et al. 2009).”
- Climate Change and Bark Beetles of the Western United States and Canada: Direct and Indirect Effects (2010, background): “In recent decades, billions of coniferous trees across millions of hectares have been killed by native bark beetles in forests ranging from Mexico to Alaska, and several of the current outbreaks are among the largest and most severe in recorded history (Bentz et al. 2009).”
- Growth, carbon‐isotope discrimination, and drought‐associated mortality across a Pinus ponderosa elevational transect (2010, background): “There is currently no consistent mechanism identified to explain why trees die during drought and associated pathogen outbreaks (e.g. bark beetle, Ips Raffa et al., 2008; Bentz et al., 2009), but the general consensus is that mortality depends in part on the whole tree carbon budget (e.”
- Stand characteristics and downed woody debris accumulations associated with a mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) outbreak in Colorado (2009, unknown): “These warmer temperatures may be fostering increased winter mountain pine beetle survival (Nordhaus, 2009).”
