Project Title: Rapid threat assessment of climate change effects on western bark beetles.
Status: Completed
Principal Investigator: Barbara Bentz, Western Bark Beetle Research Group and USDA Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station (RMRS)
Collaborators: C. Fettig, and S. Seybold, Western Bark Beetle Research Group and USDA Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station; M. Hansen, A. Lynch, and J. Negron, Western Bark Beetle Research Group and RMRS; J. L. Hayes, R. Kelsey, J. Lundquist, Western Bark Beetle Research Group and USDA Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station; J. Hicke, University of Idaho; J. Powell, Utah State University; J. Regniere, Canadian Forest Service

Summary: In this rapid threat assessment, we will synthesize current state of knowledge, identify knowledge gaps, and develop likely future scenarios for climate change effects on western bark beetles using case studies of widely distributed species such as mountain pine beetle and narrowly distributed species such as roundheaded beetle.
