Bark beetles are a group of insects that primarily feed on the inner bark of trees, causing significant damage and sometimes mortality to forests. They are considered one of the most destructive forest pests worldwide, with outbreaks leading to large-scale tree mortality and economic losses in the timber industry. Research on bark beetles focuses on understanding their biology, behavior, and ecology in order to develop effective management strategies to control outbreaks and mitigate their impacts on forests. This may include studying the role of climate change in bark beetle population dynamics, developing pheromone-based traps for monitoring and control, and exploring the potential for biological control methods to reduce their populations.
