• Spruce Beetle Biology, Ecology and Management in the Rocky Mountains: An Addendum to Spruce Beetle in the Rockies (2014, unknown): “Dead fuel is often more flammable than live foliage due to a lower heat of ignition and processes that control moisture absorption and retention [107,131].”
• Ecological consequences of mountain pine beetle outbreaks for wildlife in western North American forests (2014, background): “Notably, disturbance by wildfire affects entire vegetation communities, whereas beetle infestations are directed at host-tree species of usually large diameter (Jenkins et al. 2014).”
• Fire and tree death: understanding and improving modeling of fire-induced tree mortality (2018, background): “Host suitability and attraction after fire varies by tree and bark beetle species, but in general, bark beetles attack and kill trees with intermediate levels of both crown scorch and cambium injury, or higher levels of either crown scorch or cambium kill (Jenkins et al 2014).”
