Species traits shape the intercontinental introduction patterns of bark and ambrosia beetles

This study analyzes intercontinental introduction patterns of bark and ambrosia beetles, finding that host associations, feeding guild, and biogeographic origin strongly influence propagule pressure.

Invasion history reconstruction and potential distribution of the ambrosia beetles Euwallacea fornicatus and E. perbrevis (Coleoptera: Scolytinae), two global emerging pests

This paper reconstructs the invasion history and potential distribution of two ambrosia beetles, revealing distinct climatic niches and higher invasion risk for E. fornicatus.

Worldwide spread of Hylurgus ligniperda (Coleoptera: Scolytinae), and the potential role of bridgehead invasions

This study reconstructs the worldwide invasions of Hylurgus ligniperda, finding multiple introductions and evidence of bridgehead invasions from non-native populations.

DNA isolation in bark beetles: reliability of extraction methods and application in downstream molecular procedures

The paper compares DNA extraction methods in five bark beetle species to determine the most effective protocol for population-level studies.
