چکیده
Ann. Entomol. SW. Am. 94(6): 948-953 (2001) ABSTBACT With the exception of responses to semiochemicals, host selection behaviors of D. fiontalis are largely unstudied. To better understand the host finding behavior of D. frontalis, and to identify potential visual disruptants, we evaluated the response of D. fiontulti to multiple-funnel traps of eight different colors. Multiple-funnel traps provide an attractive vertical silhouette, similar to a host stem, that aids in capturing bark beetles and allows for controlled evaluation of visual cues. Evaluation of mean trap catch of each color by analysis of variance (ANOVA) produced two separate groups: white and yellow traps caught significantly fewer D.fiont&.s than the other six colors tested (black, blue, brown, gmy, <green, red). Examination of spectral reflect‘ance curves showed that the eight colors could be naturally placed into two groups, those with high peak reflectance (white and yellow) and those with low peak reflectance (black, blue, brown, gray, green, red). When high and low peak reflectance were substituted for color in a separate ANOVA, reflectance group was as good x color at explaining the variability in trap catch (f = 0.88 versus 0.92). Therefore, hue (dominant wavelength) was unimportant in aKecting D. j’kmtdis host finding behavior at the reflectance levels we tested and, thus, we found no strong evidence that differential wavelength sensitivity affected the response of D. j&&is. These results show that dark colored silhouettes (those with low reflectance values), regardless of hue, are best for capturing D. j&n&z, while white or yellow are the best candidate colors for disrupting host finding.

Nonhost angiosperm volatiles and verbenone were tested for their ability to disrupt the response of western pine beetle, Dendroctonus brevicomis LeConte (Coleoptera: Scolytidae), to attractant-baited multiple funnel traps. Verbenone significantly reduced attraction; however, no difference was observed between 4 and 50 mg/24-h release rates. Combinations of six bark volatiles (benzyl alcohol, be...

Lindgren funnel traps baited with aggregation pheromones are widely used to monitor and manage populations of economically important bark beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytidae). This study was designed to advance our understanding of how funnel trap catches assess bark beetle communities and relative abundance of individual species. In the second year (2005) of a 3-yr study of the bark beetle communi...
