The Chemical Relationship between Fungus and Beetles on Ponderosa Pine
نویسنده
چکیده
Volatile com ponents of Cryptoporus volvatus attracting three pine beetles (Ischnodactylus loripes, A lphitophagus plagiatus, Bolitophagus felix, family T enebrionidae) were isolated and found to be a m ixture of two m onoterpenes and an aliphatic hydrocarbon by means of GC-MS. The attractivity of the fungus for the beetles can be induced by synergistic action of (+)-isopinocam phone, (+)-/nm s-pinocarveol, and 1,

Evaluation of funnel traps for characterizing the bark beetle (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) communities in ponderosa pine forests of north-central Arizona.
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...
متن کاملIsozyme Studies of Bark Beetle Population Genetics and Systematics1
Electrophoretic analysis was used extensively in the 1970's to estimate genetic relationships among populations, species, and closely related genera of many different plants and animals, including many insect groups. Some of the first electrophoretic work on bark beetles was done by Anderson and others (1979), Anderson and others (1983), Florence and Kulhavy (1981), Florence and others (1982), ...
متن کاملColonization of cut branches of five coniferous hosts of the pitch canker fungus by Pityophthorus spp. (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) in central, coastal California
Pitch canker of pines (Pinus spp.) and Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirbel) Franco) (Pinaceae) is caused by the fungus Fusarium circinatum Nirenberg et O’Donnell. In California, infections by F. circinatum occur largely through wounds caused by insects. Field experiments were initiated to determine whether the colonization activities of twig beetles, Pityophthorus spp. (Coleoptera: Scoly...
متن کاملGene genealogies reveal cryptic species and host preferences for the pine fungal pathogen Grosmannia clavigera.
Grosmannia clavigera is a fungal pathogen of pine forests in western North America and a symbiotic associate of two sister bark beetles: Dendroctonus ponderosae and D. jeffreyi. This fungus and its beetle associate D. ponderosae are expanding in large epidemics in western North America. Using the fungal genome sequence and gene annotations, we assessed whether fungal isolates from the two beetl...
متن کاملMountain Pine Beetle Dynamics and Reproductive Success in Post-Fire Lodgepole and Ponderosa Pine Forests in Northeastern Utah
Fire injury can increase tree susceptibility to some bark beetles (Curculionidae, Scolytinae), but whether wildfires can trigger outbreaks of species such as mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) is not well understood. We monitored 1173 lodgepole (Pinus contorta var. latifolia Doug.) and 599 ponderosa (Pinus ponderosa Doug. ex Law) pines for three years post-wildfire in the Ui...
