Gut Bacteria of Bark and Wood Boring Beetles
Bark beetles are known to have complex associations with a variety of microorganisms (Paine and others 1987; Ayres and others 2000; Six and Klepzig 2004). However, most of our knowledge involves fungi, particularly external species. In contrast, we know very little about their associations with bacterial gut symbionts (Bridges 1981). Similarly, work with wood colonizing insects such as termites...
متن کاملEthanol and (-)-alpha-pinene: attractant kairomones for some large wood-boring beetles in southeastern USA.
Ethanol and alpha-pinene were tested as attractants for large wood-boring pine beetles in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina in 2002-2004. Multiple-funnel traps baited with (-)-alpha-pinene (released at about 2 g/d at 25-28 degrees C) were attractive to the following Cerambycidae: Acanthocinus nodosus, A. obsoletus, Arhopalus rusticus nubilus, Asemum striatum, Monocha...

متن کاملWood-boring beetles associated with Acacia xanthophloea in Nairobi and Machakos Counties, Kenya
Naivasha thorn tree, Acacia xanthophloea, is grown for foliage, timber, shade and rehabilitation of soils in areas with high water tables in Kenya. Its production is threatened by insect pests, which cause major losses. Very little is documented on wood-boring beetles which cause considerable economic damage to lumber used in a variety of applications, and little is known about their natural en...
متن کاملChemical Ecology of Wood-boring Insects
The roles and chemistry of pheromones that mediate reproductive behaviors of cerambycid beetles have received remarkably little attention, given the economic importance of many cerambycid species. Until recently, very few volatile sex pheromones and nonvolatile contact pheromones had been identified. However, that situation is changing rapidly, with the number of identified pheromones more than...
