Or, the gribble, an even smaller wood-boring marine crustacean, whose unique ability to digest cellulose and turn it into energy-rich sugars could provide a key to converting waste products into biofuel.

Defoliation by the forest tent caterpillar (Malacosoma disstria) and drought in the 1960s and 1980s led to reduced growth and predisposed some stands to secondary damage by wood-boring insects and fungal pathogens.

The particular insects involved in large-scale boreal outbreaks include bark and wood-boring beetles, defoliating insects (often Lepidoptera – moths and butterflies), and insects that attack roots and cones.

Taxa most likely to expand into tundra are boreal taxa that currently exist in river valleys and could spread into the uplands, or animal groups such as wood-boring beetles that are presently excluded due to a lack of food resources.

Implications of current species distributions for future biotic change in the Arctic 2009

These groups include wood-boring insects and wooddecaying fungi and their predators [25], as well as mammals and birds that specialize on tree seeds and leaves.

This, explained Barry, was a goat moth tree, host to the big wood-boring larvae; these live in galleries inside the sapwood for four years before pupating and emerging as adult moths.

Zoological studies, especially on wood-boring insects, begun in 1929 by his successor, Professor Karpinski, were extended by Professor Dehnel.

Tree health increases host resistance to beetle attack: healthy spruce trees can successfully resist moderate numbers of beetle attacks by opposing the wood-boring activity of females entering the tree to lay eggs with pitch under high turgor pressure [9].
