ABUNDANCE AND DIVERSITY OF OPHIOSTOMATOID FUNGI ASSOCIATED WITH THE GREAT SPRUCE BARK BEETLE (DENDROCTONUS MICANS) IN THE NORTHEASTERN QINGHAI-TIBET PLATEAU

Abundance and Diversity of Ophiostomatoid Fungi Associated With the Great Spruce Bark Beetle (Dendroctonus micans) in the Northeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

The role of several virulent tree pathogens in host death has been overlooked because of the aggressiveness of their associated bark beetles.The great spruce bark beetle (Dendroctonus micans) is a widely distributed Dryer Vent beetle that infests coniferous plants in Eurasia; however, its associated fungi have been poorly studied.Therefore, in this
