Potential for evolutionary responses to climate change – evidence from tree populations (2013, background): “Climate change may result in the introduction of new pests, as for instance the mountain pine beetle (Robertson et al., 2009) or new pathogens (Netherer & Schopf, 2010), but also losses of current competitors, insects, or diseases caused for example by phenological shifts between trees and associate”
Breach of the northern Rocky Mountain geoclimatic barrier: initiation of range expansion by the mountain pine beetle (2012, background): “…2008), while long-distance movements can result in wavelike or leptokurtic (i.e. stratified) dispersal patterns dependent on the coordination of dispersing individuals (Baltensweiler & Fischlin, 1979; Bjørnstad et al., 2002; Johnson et al., 2006a; Tobin & Blackburn, 2008; Robertson et al., 2009).”
Rapid northwards expansion of a forest insect pest attributed to spring phenology matching with sub‐Arctic birch (2011, background): “in several important forest pest species in the northern hemisphere, for instance Dendroctonus ponderosae (mountain pine beetle), in western Canada (Carroll et al., 2006; Robertson et al., 2009) and Thaumetopoea pityocampa (pine processionary moth) in central Europe (Battisti et al.”
