Chemical 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...
متن کاملGut 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 کاملMicrobial Communities in Sunken Wood Are Structured by Wood-Boring Bivalves and Location in a Submarine Canyon
The cornerstones of sunken wood ecosystems are microorganisms involved in cellulose degradation. These can either be free-living microorganisms in the wood matrix or symbiotic bacteria associated with wood-boring bivalves such as emblematic species of Xylophaga, the most common deep-sea woodborer. Here we use experimentally submerged pine wood, placed in and outside the Mediterranean submarine ...
متن کاملIncidence of bark- and wood-boring insects in firewood: a survey at Michigan's Mackinac Bridge.
Firewood is a major pathway for the inadvertent movement of bark- and wood-infesting insects. After discovery of Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) in southeastern Michigan in 2002, quarantines were enacted including prohibition of transporting firewood across the Mackinac Bridge between Michigan's Lower and Upper peninsulas. Drivers are required to surrender firewood befor...
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...
