Wood-decaying fungi in the forest: conservation needs and management options (2007, background): “…the need is greater than ever, not only for further research, but also for more public relations work by forest managers informing people that moderate populations of bark beetle can in certain cases contribute to overall ecosystem functioning (see Bouget and Duelli 2004; Fayt et al. 2005).”
Spruce Beetle Biology, Ecology and Management in the Rocky Mountains: An Addendum to Spruce Beetle in the Rockies (2014, unknown): “[88] suggested that this finding may be related to influences of voltinism on spruce beetle.”
Ecosystem Services Provided by Birds (2008, background): “Fayt et al. (2005) reviewed the considerable literature on response and predation of woodpeckers on bark beetles (Coleoptera, Scolytidae) infecting spruce (Picea).”
Bird Predation On Spiders: Ecological Mechanisms And Evolutionary Consequences (2007, background): “This fact has recently led a number of authors to emphasize the importance of bird predation as part of the ‘‘ecological services’’ that human societies rely upon (e.g., Sekercioglu et al. 2004; Fayt et al. 2005; Sekercioglu 2006).”
Factors Influencing Woodpecker Predation on Emerald Ash Borer (2008, background): “Woodpecker predation levels on EAB will likely be affected by a number of variables including the age structure of ash trees and species composition of the entire tree assemblage within an area, the abundance of all food types, time of year, and the caloric value of the food (Fayt et al., 2005).”
What can we learn from resource pulses? (2008, background): “…populations of small mammals in a wide range of communities (Jaksic et al. 1997, Schmidt and Ostfeld 2003, Letnic et al. 2005) and eruptive populations of forest insects are commonly consumed by birds (Fayt et al. 1915, Morris et al. 1958, Cooper and Smith 1995, Hoi et al. 2004, Hogstad 2005).”
Management Strategies for Bark Beetles in Conifer Forests (2015, background): “, 2004; Wermelinger, 2004), pathogens (Wegensteiner, 2004), and to a lesser extent woodpeckers (Fayt et al., 2005).”
Why study woodpeckers? The significance of woodpeckers in forest ecosystems (2006, background): “A recent review of regulation of spruce bark beetles by woodpeckers shows that prey mortality caused by woodpeckers can reach 98% (Fayt et al. 2005).”
