To tree or not to tree: The role of energy limitation on host tree acceptance in a bark beetle

Background: Energy and time constraints experienced by dispersing animals often limit individual dispersal and subsequent habitat selection decisions. When substantial variation in …

Mountain pine beetle condition and timing of emergence: who emerges when

Individual variation in energy reserves and timing of emergence are expected to constrain host selection decisions of mountain pine beetle. We examined the timing and condition of …
