• Convergent evolution of semiochemicals across Kingdoms: bark beetles and their fungal symbionts 

      Zhao, Tao; Ganji, Suresh; Schiebe, Christian; Bohman, Björn; Weinstein, Philip; Krokene, Paal; Borg-Karlson, Anna-Karin; Unelius, C. Rikard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-15)
      Convergent evolution of semiochemical use in organisms from different Kingdoms is a rarely described phenomenon. Tree-killing bark beetles vector numerous symbiotic blue-stain fungi that help the beetles colonize healthy ...
    • Linoleic Acid Promotes Emission of Bark Beetle Semiochemicals by Fungal Symbionts 

      Unelius, C. Rikard; Ganji, Suresh; Krokene, Paal (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-12-30)
      Tree-killing bark beetles in conifer forests vector symbiotic fungi that are thought to help the beetles kill trees. Fungal symbionts emit diverse volatile blends that include bark beetle semiochemicals involved in mating ...
