Forest microclimates and climate change: Importance, drivers and future research agenda (2021, unknown): “The even aged single species stands typical of managed boreal forests have reduced the resilience of the whole boreal system to increasing frequency and severity of climate-induced pest outbreaks and wildfires (Cudmore et 5).”
Assisted Gene Flow to Facilitate Local Adaptation to Climate Change (2013, background): “Thus, the insect may occupy more of a host species range over time, and some naı̈ve host populations could now be exposed to it [e.g., lodgepole pine populations in colder environments that have recently experienced the Dendroctonus ponderosae (mountain pine beetle) expansion (Cudmore et al. 2010)].”
Assessing the benefits and risks of translocations in changing environments: a genetic perspective (2011, background): “Even when species are not threatened, their role as keystone species in ecological commu- nities may be at risk (Gaston 2010), such as coniferous forests under the threat of bark beetles triggered by warming conditions (Cudmore et al. 2010).”
Mountain Pine Beetle Voltinism and Life History Characteristics across Latitudinal and Elevational Gradients in the Western United States (2014, background): “Both have enabled increased population success at the northern edge of the distribution and at higher elevations (Cudmore et al. 2010, Safranyik et al. 2010, Macfarlane et al. 2013, Sambaraju et al. 2012).”
