Host tree preference and performance of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle ( <scp> <i>Ips typographus</i> </scp> ) on Scots pine
Our results suggest that I. typographus is attracted to SP bark odors at short-range and can reproduce in SP logs under laboratory conditions but with a reduced fitness. The reduced release of cis-verbenol may suggest a reduced likelihood of pheromone-induced mass attacks on SP. © 2026 The Author(s).
