• Characterization of Gut-Associated Bacteria in Larvae and Adults of the Southern Pine Beetle, Dendroctonus frontalis Zimmermann (2006, background): “have been isolated from the southern pine beetle, which, together with some fungal associates, may concentrate nitrogen for developing larvae (Bridges 1981, Ayres et al. 2000, Klepzig and Six 2004).”
• Changes in transpiration and foliage growth in lodgepole pine trees following mountain pine beetle attack and mechanical girdling (2013, background): “However it is possible that results could differ for other species of bark beetles because not all species consume phloem at the same rate depending on species specific nutrient acquisition strategies (Ayres et al., 2000).”
• The microbiome of pest insects: it is not just bacteria (2019, background): “The importance of molds to the life history of pest insects have been documented in bark beetles belonging to the genusDendroctonus, which feed on phloem tissues and rely on fungi for nutrients throughout their life cycle (Ayres et al., 2000; Bentz & Six, 2006; Davis, 2015).”
• A review of semiochemicals associated with bark beetle (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) pests of coniferous trees: A focus on beetle interactions with other pests and their associates (2013, background): “The latter can attack living trees in large numbers causing tree mortality (Ayres et al., 2000) and are often associated with blue-stain fungi such as Ceratocystis polonica (Siem.)”
• Strong indirect interactions of Tarsonemus mites (Acarina: Tarsonemidae) and Dendroctonus frontalis (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) (2003, background): “However, sympatric species of bark beetles that lack mutualistic relations with mycangial fungi, such as Ips grandicollis (Ayres et al. 2000) appear to be unaffected by the presence or absence of 0.”
• The Evolution of Agriculture in Insects (2005, background): “However, many nonambrosial scolytines carry fungi in mycangia and feed as larvae on ungardened mycelium that colonizes host plants and feed as new adults on spore layers lining pupal chambers (Ayres et al. 2000, Barras 1973, Six & Klepzig 2004, Six & Paine 1998; also A. Adams & D.L.”
• Bacteria in oral secretions of an endophytic insect inhibit antagonistic fungi (2006, background): “Some fungi may participate in pheromone synthesis ( Brand et al. , 1976 ) or assist in various forms of nutrition such as by concentrating nitrogen ( Barras, 1973; Ayres et al. , 2000; Six, 2003a ).”
• Contrasts in Cellulolytic Activities of Gut Microorganisms Between the Wood Borer, Saperda vestita (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), and the Bark Beetles, Ips pini and Dendroctonus frontalis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) (2005, background): “For example, symbiotic mycangial fungi concentrate dietary nutrients for larval D. frontalis and Dendroctonus ponderosae (Hopkins), and nonmycangial fungi facilitate nitrogen use by I. pini (Barras 1973, Six and Paine 1998, Ayres et al. 2000 ).”
• Effects of Diterpene Acids on Components of a Conifer Bark Beetle–Fungal Interaction: Tolerance by Ips pini and Sensitivity by Its Associate Ophiostoma ips (2005, unknown): “Some can facilitate beetle nutritional physiology ( Ayres et al. 2000 ).”
• Ergosterol Content of Fungi Associated with Dendroctonus ponderosae and Dendroctonus rufipennis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) (2006, background): “In some associations, growth and reproductive success of beetle brood is increased in the presence of fungi, often because of a nutritional beneÞt (Whitney 1971, Bridges 1983, Goldhammer et al. 1990, Coppedge et al. 1995, Six and Paine 1998, Ayres et al. 2000).”
• Temperature-dependent effects on mutualistic, antagonistic, and commensalistic interactions among insects, fungi and mites (2007, background): “For instance, symbiotic fungi are introduced by aggressive bark beetles to help kill host trees (Paine et al. 1997) or used as sustenance for developing beetle larvae (Webb and Franklin 1978, Ayres et al. 2000).”
• Evolution and diversity of bark and Ambrosia beetles (2015, background): “Plant tissues are generally a poor resource from the point of view of nutritional quality, being much lower in nitrogen than beetle bodies (White, 1993; Ayres et al., 2000).”
