Observed and anticipated impacts of drought on forest insects and diseases in the United States (2016, background): “For insects, range expansions and increases in the frequency and severity of outbreaks by some bark beetle species have already been documented (Bentz et al., 2009) and further increases are anticipated (Williams and Liebhold, 2002; Bentz et al., 2010; Sambaraju et al., 2012).”
Areography of the genus Dendroctonus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) in Mexico (2004, background): “Some facts suggest that distribution of the genus Dendroctonus is determined by cold temperate climate conditions (Williams & Liebhold, 2002).”
EXPANSION OF GEOGRAPHIC RANGE IN THE PINE PROCESSIONARY MOTH CAUSED BY INCREASED WINTER TEMPERATURES (2005, background): “The northern range of the southern pine beetle Dendroctonus frontalis in North America is restricted by winter LLT (Ungerer et al. 1999); consequently, an increase of 38C in minimum temperature could extend its northern distribution limit by 170 km (Williams and Liebhold 2002).”
Climate change and range expansion of an aggressive bark beetle: evidence of higher beetle reproduction in naïve host tree populations (2010, background): “…areas potentially suitable for habitation (Rosenzweig et al. 2007), as evidenced by a rapidly increasing number of reports showing significant recent range shifts toward higher latitudes and higher elevations (Williams & Liebhold 2002; Rosenzweig et al. 2007; Jepsen et al. 2008; Raffa et al. 2008).”
Climate change effects on poikilotherm tritrophic interactions (2008, methodology): “Other pest species could be similarly affected as shown by Williams and Liebhold (2002) who predicted a northward shift of bark beetles in eastern forests of the United States.”
Simulation and analysis of outbreaks of bark beetle infestations and their management at the stand level (2011, background): “Such large-scale infestations are expected to occur more frequently in the future owing to global warming, which will promote both the ability of forest insects to complete more generations per year and the susceptibility of the host trees by drought stress (Williams and Liebhold, 2002; Harrington e”
Climate Change and Range Shifts in Two Insect Defoliators: Gypsy Moth and Nun Moth - a Model Study (2007, background): “The populations of many forest defoliators could increase into outbreak levels under warmer climate (Virtanen et al. 1995, Schlyter et al. 2006, Williams and Liebhold 2002, Veteli et al. 2005) when also stress level of forest stands may be higher.”
Grapevine insect pests and their natural enemies in the age of global warming (2016, background): “Recent range shifts attributed to climate change have been observed and are well recognized for a number of insect species (Gevrey and Worner 2006; Musolin 2007; Parmesan et al. 1999; Williams and Liebhold 2002).”
Spatial–temporal analysis of species range expansion: the case of the mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae (2009, background): “Because our data represent incipient-epidemic and epidemic populations (i.e. capable of mass-attacking healthy trees), ranges can be considered as outbreak ranges (Williams & Liebhold, 2002).”
Drought-Induced Multifactor Decline of Scots Pine in the Pyrenees and Potential Vegetation Change by the Expansion of Co-occurring Oak Species (2010, background): “Therefore, increased vulnerability of trees to parasite attacks under water stress conditions can lead to episodes of high tree mortality ( Williams and Liebhold 2002; Breshears and others 2005; Dobbertin and others 2007; Negro ´ n and others 2009).”
Learning from a benign neglect strategy in a national park: Response of saproxylic beetles to dead wood accumulation (2010, background): “Furthermore, a spread of such outbreaks to the boreal and alpine zones is predicted by models incorporating global warming (Jönsson et al., 2009; Williams and Liebhold, 2002).”
Spatio‐temporal impact of climate change on the activity and voltinism of the spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus (2009, background): “…and geographical distribution of insect species may change as a result of global warming, some species increasing their geographical range, others moving their limits of distribution towards north or into higher elevations in mountainous regions (Williams & Liebhold, 2002; Carroll et al., 2003).”
Predicting the effects of climate change on natural enemies of agricultural pests (2010, background): “In the eastern forests of the United States, several beetles including the southern pine beetle Dendroctonus frontalis Zimmermann and mountain pine beetle Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) are predicted to expand their range northwards (Williams and Liebhold, 2002; Tran et ”
SPATIAL SYNCHRONY IN FOREST INSECT OUTBREAKS: ROLES OF REGIONAL STOCHASTICITY AND DISPERSAL (2002, background): “A potential third mechanism is regional synchronization through the action of mobile natural enemies (Ydenberg 1987, Ims and Steen 1990).”
