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.

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.

Circling back: Vespula spp. re-invasion after knockout from volcanic ash fall in Patagonia

The paper studies the rapid re-invasion of Vespula wasps after a volcanic eruption in Patagonia, showing minimal interspecific competition and the role of urban refuges in their establishment.

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.
