Beetles killing California oaks
Beetles killing California oaks An infestation of beetles is killing Northern
California oaks. Two types of beetles are the culprits, the Western
oak bark beetle and the oak ambrosia beetle. The Western oak bark
beetle burrows under the bark of trees until the bark falls off,
and the oak ambrosia beetle leaves deadly fungus along its tunnels
within the tree. Researchers are unsure why these infestations are
occurring, but suggest that climate change has weakened the trees
that the beetles are targeting.
