摘要: Scolytid bark beetles that colonize living conifers are frequently associated with specific fungi carried in specialized structures or on the body surface. These introduced into tree during attack process. The continuing association suggests there is mutual benefit to fitness of both and fungi. fungal species may from by transport new host trees. Beetle feeding fungi, contributing death trees through mycelial penetration tissue, toxin release, interactions preformed induced conifer defenses, combined action colonization. Extensive research has been directed towards characterizing beetle-fungal complexes live determining ecological advantages for maintaining associations. However, differences among systems how interact under different population environmental conditions make it difficult generalize about importance separate biological components successful
