Exotic bark- and wood-boring Coleoptera in the United States: recent establishments and interceptions (2006, background): “Bark and ambrosia beetles are usually vectors of fungi and other microorganisms that grow in the woody host tissues (Kuhnholz et al. 2001; Kirisits 2004).”
Evolution and diversity of bark and Ambrosia beetles (2015, background): “Some species that are considered harmless in their native ecosystems (“secondary”) become deadly when introduced to naive forests (Kühnholz et al., 2001; Ploetz et al., 2013).”
Ability of stress‐related volatiles to attract and induce attacks by Xylosandrus germanus and other ambrosia beetles (2010, background): “Kühnholz et al. (2001) noted that a complex chemical ecology may allow for secondary ambrosia beetles to perceive stressrelated volatiles produced by otherwise apparently-healthy trees.”
