Dear all,

The International Tree Mortality Network, an initiative of the IUFRO task force on monitoring trends and patterns in global tree mortality, continues the online seminar series join on January 25, 5 pm CET / 9 am MT, with:

Dr. Barbara Bentz

Title: Recipes for Climate-Induced Bark Beetle-Caused Tree Mortality

Abstract: Globally, native bark beetles are contributing to increases in tree mortality and changes in climate are playing significant roles. Projecting future trends will be complicated by environmentally determined, evolved traits in both host trees and insects. Ingredients for bark beetle population success in future climates will be discussed.

Bio: Barbara Bentz is a Research Entomologist with the US Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station located in Logan, Utah. For 30+ years she has studied multiple aspects of bark beetle population dynamics at multiple scales.
