Tracking the Extent and Impacts of a Southern Pine Beetle (Dendroctonus frontalis) Outbreak in the Bienville National Forest
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Bienville National Forest (BNF) in central Mississippi experienced an outbreak of southern pine beetle (SPB) beginning 2015 and continuing through 2019. To assess the extent subsequent treatments impacted areas, high-resolution imagery was obtained from various sources interpreted to determine feasibility this for detecting SPB spots tracking their spread treatments. A negative binomial regression model then described relationship between spot detection, year, status (i.e., infestation/treatment) incidence rate ratios were calculated. peak active infestation acreage occurred 2017 with treatment mitigation measures peaking 2018. In total, over 4450 hectares (ha) treated 2019 BNF. Overall, it is possible discern small areas If used as a monitoring method, consistently available (e.g., satellite) provides effective means detecting, evaluating, infestations related

Redescription and Life History of Contortylenchus brevicomi, a Parasite of the Southern Pine Beetle Dendroctonus frontalis.
Larval and adult life stages are described for Contortylenchus brevicomi (Massey) Rühm parasitizing a Mississippi population of Dendroctonus frontalis, the southern pine beetle. Fourth-stage larvae and free-living adult females of this species are identified and described for the first time. The life cycle of C. brevicomi can be reconstructed from this study. The adult female nematode lays eggs...
متن کاملGlobal and comparative protein profiles of the pronotum of the southern pine beetle, Dendroctonus frontalis.
The southern pine beetle (Dendroctonus frontalis Zimmermann) kills all pines within its range and is among the most important forest pest species in the US. Using a specialized mycangium surrounded by gland cells in the pronotum, adult females culture, transport, and inoculate two fungi into beetle galleries during oviposition. These fungal symbionts, to varying degrees, exclude antagonistic fu...

متن کاملAttraction of the southern pine beetle, Dendroctonus frontalis, to pheromone components of the western pine beetle, Dendroctonus brevicomis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), in an allopatric zone.
Subtle differences in pheromone components of sympatric species should be attractive only to the producing species and unattractive or repellent to the nonproducing species, and thereby maintain reproductive isolation and reduce competition between species. Bark beetles Dendroctonus brevicomis and D. frontalis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) are known to have common pheromone components, except for...
متن کاملLandscape-scale genetic variation in a forest outbreak species, the mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae).
The mountain pine beetle Dendroctonus ponderosae is a native species currently experiencing large-scale outbreaks in western North American pine forests. We sought to describe the pattern of genetic variation across the range of this species, to determine whether there were detectable genetic differences between D. ponderosae occupying different host trees in common localities, and to determine...
