“…The logs affected by the bark beetle attack are commonly decayed by less suitable F. pinicola rot (Table 4; see also Jankovský et al, 2002;Pouska et al, 2011;Schroeder, 2007) since the bark beetles facilitate the entry of F. pinicola spores into infested trees (Persson et al, 2009(Persson et al, , 2011Pettey and Shaw, 1986). In addition, bark beetle infestation creates larger canopy openings, and the logs situated in an open space are exposed to higher temperature and moisture fluctuations.…”

“…They initiate the process of decomposition of bark and wood tissues by feeding on them directly, and also by facilitating penetration by other in-sects, fungi and bacteria (Kirisits 2004, Persson et al 2011, Hulcr et al 2012, Stokland & Siitonen 2012, Six 2013. While a few species are important pests (Postner 1974), some are even regarded as keystone species in forest ecosystems (Müller et al 2008).…”

Abstract. Scolytids constitute an insect group of forest ecosystems that is very important both ecologically and economically, and which has been well studied in most European countries. However, new species are found quite often, especially in regions searched less intensively to date. In this paper three species of scolytid fauna not previously known in Romania are reported for the first time: Trypodendron laeve, Xylosandrus germanus and Hylastes linearis. Individuals of all three species were collected in the north-eastern part of Romania. T. laeve was found only in natural coniferous forests, at altitudes above 1230 m and in association with T. lineatum, but in much lower abundance. The Asian species X. germanus was found in an old beech forest situated at a much higher altitude (760-900 m) than observed in western and central Europe. The third species, H. linearis, was captured as a single specimen in a plateau region (375 m).

“…This is important, because lignin in wood cell walls represents a challenging substrate, and is mostly decomposed by fungal exo-enzymes (Kirk and Farrell, 1987). Early WD decay appears limited by fungal colonization; limited to fungi already present in living wood (Parfitt et al, 2010), the arrival of airborne fungal spores (Vasiliauskas et al, 2005), fauna delivering spores (Persson et al, 2011), and hyphal in-growth from nearby fungi (Boddy, 2001;Carpenter et al, 1988;Jönsson et al, 2008;Watkinson et al, 2006). Intermediate WD generally decays more rapidly, with late stages again becoming limited by the exhaustion of materials most beneficial to microbes (e.g., Harmon et al, 1986).…”
