Within its historic range, the dynamics of mountian pine beetle (MPB) populations are well understood, but questions persist as to how they will behave in novel pine habitats.
This project will determine if MPB will become endemic in novel habitats. This research is critical to developing operational strategies to manage MPB in novel pine habitats.
