The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Diversity of fungi associated with the mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae and infested lodgepole pines in British Columbia (2006, background): “Like Ophiostoma clavigerum, Leptographium longiclavatum has long conidia, and may be more easily grazed by the beetles and carried preferentially in the mycangia rather than on the exoskeleton (Harrington and Zambino 1990; Hsiau and Harrington 1997; Six 2003b ).”
Ergosterol Content of Fungi Associated with Dendroctonus ponderosae and Dendroctonus rufipennis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) (2006, background): “Sac mycangia are specialized structures thought to have evolved speciÞcally to carry fungi, thereby suggesting a more obligate relationship between beetle host and fungal associate (Six 2003a).”
Forest microbiome: diversity, complexity and dynamics. (2016, background): “Less specific fungal associates (e.g. yeasts, moulds or wood-rotting basidiomycetes) are transmitted more incidentally when attached to body surfaces (Six 2003).”
Bacteria in oral secretions of an endophytic insect inhibit antagonistic fungi (2006, background): “Hence, these fungi are commonly associated with decaying wood, including spruce ( Garcia & Morrell, 1999; Lumley et al. , 2001 ), and with wood-feeding insects such as termites ( Hendee, 1933 ) and bark beetles ( Barras, 1969; Jassim et al. , 1990; Six, 2003b ).”
