The types of associations these organisms establish with the mountain pine beetle vary from mutualistic to antagonistic. The most studied of these interactions are those between beetle and fungi. The least studied are interactions with bacteria, but these have received increased attention recently. Nematodes remain little studied. During 2011 to 2013, I studied phoretic mites arriving to limber (P. flexilis), lodgepole (P. contorta), and ponderosa ...
