Ecol Appl
. 2022 Oct;
33(2):e2761.
PMID: 36218183
Some introduced species cause severe damage, although the majority have little impact. Robust predictions of which species are most likely to cause substantial impacts could focus efforts to mitigate those...

Oecologia
. 2022 Feb;
198(3):681-698.
PMID: 35226183
Irruptive forest insects such as bark beetles undergo intermittent outbreaks that cause landscape-scale tree mortality. Despite their enormous economic and ecological impacts, we still have only limited understanding of the...

. 2022 Jan;
6(S1):35-48.
PMID: 35026937
Disturbance regimes strongly determine vegetation patterns and succession in the boreal landscape. One of the current challenges for boreal vegetation modellers is to represent disturbance agents as dynamic factors that...

27(22):5786-5805.
PMID: 34428326
Warming temperatures are allowing native insect herbivores to expand into regions that previously exceeded their thermal tolerance, encounter new host species, and pose significant threats to native communities. However, the...
