A key to the mites associated with flying Ips typographus in South Germany
- J. Moser, H. Bogenschutz
- Biology
- 26 August 2009
A key identifies 32 species of mites associated with flying Ips typographus collected from nondestructive pheromone traps in South Germany. Fifteen species were judged phoretic because they were… Expand
Use of sporothecae by phoretic Tarsonemus mites to transport ascospores of coniferous bluestain fungi
- J. Moser
- Biology
- 1985
Certain female Tarsonemus mites, like their host bark beetles, carry a specific fungus upon which the mites feed, inside a special morphological, spore-carrying structure called a sporotheca. The… Expand
Antagonisms, mutualisms and commensalisms affect outbreak dynamics of the southern pine beetle
- R. Hofstetter, J. Cronin, K. Klepzig, J. Moser, M. Ayres

- 1 April 2006
Feedback from community interactions involving mutualisms are a rarely explored mechanism for generating complex population dynamics. We examined the effects of two linked mutualisms on the… Expand
Strong indirect interactions of Tarsonemus mites (Acarina: Tarsonemidae) and Dendroctonus frontalis (Coleoptera: Scolytidae)
- M. J. Lombardero, M. Ayres, R. Hofstetter, J. Moser, K. D. Lepzig
- Biology
- 1 August 2003
Phoretic mites of bark beetles are classic examples of commensal ectosymbionts. However, many such mites appear to have mutualisms with fungi that could themselves interact with beetles. We tested… Expand
Mites associated with Southern Pine Bark Beetles in Allen Parish, Louisiana
- J. Moser, L. M. Roton

- 1 December 1971
Ninety-six species of mites were associated with the southern pine beetle and allied scolytids in an outbreak area in Allen Parish, La. The complex was evaluated to ascertain which species may be of… Expand
Transportation of phytopathogenic fungi by the bark beetle Ips sexdentatus Boerner and associated mites
- J. Lévieux, F. Lieutier, J. Moser, T. Perry
- Biology
- 12 January 1989
The bark beetle Ips sexdentatus carries several types of conidiospores and ascopores in the pronotal punctures located around the setae on the sides of the pronotum. For swarming beetles, some of the… Expand

Phoretic mites and their hyperphoretic fungi associated with flying Ips typographus japonicus Niijima (Col., Scolytidae) in Japan
Flying Ips typographus japonicus from Hokkaido (Japan) carried 12 species of phoretic mites, three of which were not previously recorded in Europe. The mite biologies were diverse, including… Expand
