Yes. These trees are colonized by a different species of bark beetle (Phloeosinus sp.) that utilizes these tree species. The biology and life cycle of this bark beetle is slightly different than the pine bark beetles. Consult the publication: Cypress Bark Beetles in North Central Arizona, by Jeff Schalau, available on the web at ag.arizona.edu/yavapai/anr/fh/CypressBarkBeetles.pdf .
