Quantifying spatio-temporal dispersion of bark beetle infestations in epidemic and non-epidemic conditions (2011, background): “Dispersal distance has been optimized by evolution, balancing benefits such as avoidance of inbreeding or escape antagonists, and risks such as exhaustion during dispersal without finding a host tree (Byers, 2004).”
Linking deadwood traits with saproxylic invertebrates and fungi in European forests - a review (2018, background): “They are able to identify host trees by the presence of volatile compounds, such as monoterpenes, released by dying trees (Byers 2007).”
Exotic bark and ambrosia beetles in the USA: potential and current invaders (2013, background): “Pheromones are used to attract potential mates, and in some scolytines are also used to mass attack host trees to overcome host resistance (Byers, 2004; Raffa et al., 2008).”
Pine monoterpenes and pine bark beetles: a marriage of convenience for defense and chemical communication (2006, background): “Byers (2004) has hypothesized that monoterpenes may also regulate proximal behavior of bark beetles; specifically, to enhance entry rates into already initiated galleries.”
