Cross-scale Drivers of Natural Disturbances Prone to Anthropogenic Amplification: The Dynamics of Bark Beetle Eruptions (2008)

Kenneth F. Raffa, Brian H. Aukema, Barbara J. Bentz, Allan L. Carroll, Jeffrey A. Hicke, Monica G. Turner, ...

Biome-scale disturbances by eruptive herbivores provide valuable insights into species interactions, ecosystem function, and impacts of global change. We present a conceptual framework using one...

Species Assemblage Arriving at and Emerging from Trees Colonized by Ips pini in the Great Lakes Region: Partitioning by Time Since Colonization, Season, and Host Species (2004)

Brian H. Aukema, Greg R. Richards, Steven J. Krauth, Kenneth F. Raffa

The pine engraver, Ips pini (Say), colonizes jack, red, and white pines in the Great Lakes region. Males select suitable hosts, bore through the bark into phloem tissue, and emit aggregation...

Population Dynamics of Ips pini and Ips grandicollis in Red Pine Plantations in Wisconsin: Within- and Between-Year Associations with Predators, Competitors, and Habitat Quality (2002)

Nadir Erbilgin, Erik V. Nordheim, Brian H. Aukema, Kenneth F. Raffa

We sampled bark beetle (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) populations in 17 declining and healthy red pine plantations in Wisconsin over 3 yr. We tested for potential relationships among numbers of bark...

Improved Population Monitoring of Bark Beetles and Predators by Incorporating Disparate Behavioral Responses to Semiochemicals (2000)

Brian H. Aukema, Donald L. Dahlsten, Kenneth F. Raffa

Estimating populations of both pest and natural enemy species is important in the planning and implementation of biological control. For example, synthetic pheromone lures are used to sample bark...

Exploiting Behavioral Disparities Among Predators and Prey to Selectively Remove Pests: Maximizing the Ratio of Bark Beetles to Predators Removed During Semiochemically Based Trap-Out (2000)

Brian H. Aukema, Donald L. Dahlsten, Kenneth F. Raffa

Mass-trapping using semiochemical lures is a potentially useful control measure against bark beetle pests. A serious problem, however, is the inadvertent removal of predators that respond to these...

Continuous time modelling of dynamical spatial lattice data observed at sparsely distributed times

Jakob G. Rasmussen, Jesper Møller, Brian H. Aukema, Kenneth F. Raffa, Jun Zhu

We consider statistical and computational aspects of simulation-based Bayesian inference for a spatial-temporal model based on a multivariate point process which is only observed at sparsely...

Spatial-Temporal Modeling of Forest Gaps Generated by Colonization From Below- and Above-Ground Bark Beetle Species

Zhu, Jun, Rasmussen, Jakob G., Moller, Jesper, Aukema, Brian H., Raffa, Kenneth F.
