An experimental test of insect-mediated colonisation of damaged Pinus radiata trees by sapstain fungi.
Vector-pathogen dynamics play a central role in understanding tree health and forest dynamics. There is substantial evidence that bark beetles act as spore vectors for many species of fungi that cause 'sapstain' discolouration of damaged trees and timber. However, the direct quantitative l...
