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 ).”
Fungal Associates of European Bark Beetles With Special Emphasis on the Ophiostomatoid Fungi (2007, background): “Yeasts are commonly associated with phloeophagous bark and ambrosia beetles (Grosmann 1931; Siemaszko 1939; Callaham and Shifrine 1960; Francke-Grosmann 1967; Zimmermann 1973; Whitney 1971, 1982; Bridges et al. 1984; Harding 1989; Leufvén and Nehls 1986; Furniss et al. 1990; Six 2003).”
Ecology and evolution of mycophagous bark beetles and their fungal partners. (2005, background): “Six (2003) speculated that the fungi produce essential sterols.”
Ergosterol Content of Fungi Associated with Dendroctonus ponderosae and Dendroctonus rufipennis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) (2006, background): “Many Dendroctonus are symbiotically associated with at least one Þlamentous fungal species that is mutually beneÞcial to the beetle host, whereas relationships with other fungal associates may be antagonistic or commensalistic (Six 2003b).”
A comparison of mycangial and phoretic fungi of individual mountain pine beetles (2003, background): “Spores held in mycangia are well protected during dispersal, and their survival during this period may be facilitated by secretions produced by the beetle (Six 2003).”
