“…We hypothesized that the ability of bark beetles that colonize living hosts to establish in new environments and hosts, which are facilitated by climate warming trends and humanfacilitated transportation (Sun et al, 2004;Yan et al, 2005;Logan et al, 2010), may be in part due to activities of their microbial symbionts. Microbial symbionts perform a variety of functions important to the success of their animal hosts (Zilber-Rosenberg and Rosenberg, 2008), so their ability to survive a harsh environment, such as within trees, likely is critical to their animal host.…”

“…Elsewhere, they also kill large numbers of ponderosa pines, Pinus ponderosa Dougl. Ex Laws, and several other species, including high elevation pines like whitebark pine, Pinus albicaulis Engelmann (Logan et al, 2010). Once outbreaks have exhausted preferred hosts, D. ponderosae also may attack and kill spruce trees (Furniss and Schenk, 1969;Huber et al, 2009).…”
