The European spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus), is a species of beetle in the weevil subfamily Scolytinae, the bark beetles, and is found in Europe, Asia Minor and east to China, Japan, North Korea and South Korea.
Species Profile: European Spruce Bark Beetle. Destructive pest of spruce (Picea spp.) that has caused extensive tree losses in Europe (CABI)
Blue-stain fungus (Endoconidiophora polonica) in particular is associated with larger eight-toothed European spruce bark beetle in continental Europe. Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) is widely...
Dendroctonus micans, the great spruce bark beetle, is a species of bark beetle native to the coniferous forests of Europe and Asia. The beetles burrow into the bark of spruce trees and lay eggs which develop into larvae that feed on the woody layers under the bark.
The European spruce bark beetle I. typographus is the primary outbreak species of bark beetles in Europe (Fig. 2). This small (~5 mm long) beetle is widely distributed across Eurasia where its range largely corresponds to that of its major host, Norway spruce.
The Ips typographus, or larger eight-toothed European spruce bark beetle, is a serious pest of spruce trees in Europe and was first spotted in the UK in Kent in 2018.
Foster et al. found that the SWIR region from hyperspectral measurements collected from ASD FieldSpec Pro was key to the detection of bark beetle (Dendroctonus rufipennis) green attack in Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmannii).
The European spruce bark beetle is a destructive pest of spruce, having caused extensive economic loss and ecosystem disruption in Europe. If introduced into Michigan, this insect may pose serious threats to spruce forest ecosystems, landscape trees and ornamental tree industries. Michigan risk maps for exotic plant pests. Systematic position
Bark beetles are the most important biotic forest disturbance agent in temperate and boreal forest ecosystems. The host–insect system is highly sensitive to climatic changes, as both beetle development and host tree defences are dependent on climate variables (Netherer & Schopf 2010).
Recent outbreaks of the European spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus) in Norway spruce (Picea abies) forests in Central Europe highlight the importance of timely detection and sanitation of infested trees for pest management efficacy.
