Genetic relatedness of North American populations of Tomicus piniperda (Coleoptera:Scolytidae).

چکیده
We used DNA fingerprinting by random amplified polymorphic (RAPD) DNA and electrophoretic characterization of esterase isozymes to investigate the genetic relatedness of North American populations of the exotic bark beetle Tomicus piniperda (L.). Cluster analyses of genetic distances among populations identified the Illinois population as an outlier population with mean genetic distances to other populations averaging 0.895 (where complete dissimilarity = 2), compared with genetic distance averages of 0.595 among populations excluding Illinois. When genetic distance means and geographical distance between populations were compared, the results suggested that T. piniperda populations in the United States were established separately in Illinois near Lake Michigan and in Ohio along Lake Erie. Molecular markers indicated that insects derived from the 2 founder groups were interbreeding in contiguous regions in western Indiana.

Leptographium wingfieldii introduced into North America and found associated with exotic Tomicus piniperda and native bark beetles.
Leptographium wingfieldii is a well-known fungal associate of the pine shoot beetle, Tomicus piniperda, in Europe. This fungus is pathogenic to pines and is an important cause of blue-stain in the sapwood of infested trees. Tomicus piniperda was first found in a Christmas tree plantation in Ohio, USA, 1992, but isolation of the fungi associated with these intercepted insects was not attempted. ...
متن کاملDescription of the Yunnan shoot borer, Tomicus yunnanensis Kirkendall & Fac- coli sp. n. (Curculionidae, Scolytinae), an unusually aggressive pine shoot beetle from southern China, with a key to the species of Tomicus
We describe a new and highly aggressive species of pine shoot beetle, Tomicus yunnanensis Kirkendall & Faccoli, which has been decimating Pinus yunnanensis forests in southwest China for almost three decades. This species was confused with T. piniperda until recent molecular studies showed the SW China populations to be quite divergent from T. piniperda of northeast China and Europe. The cleare...
متن کاملTomicus piniperda (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) initial flight and shoot departure along a north-south gradient.
The exotic pine shoot beetle, Tomicus piniperda (L.) (Coleoptera: Scolytidae), established in the north central and northeastern United States (U.S.) and adjacent regions in Canada, is regulated by a federal quarantine that restricts movement of pine material during specific times of the year based on the beetle's life history. Although climatic variation occurs across T. piniperda's range, a s...

Tomicus species (Coleoptera, Scolytidae) are important pests of pine forest in Eurasia (Schroeder, 1987; Bouhot et al., 1988; Hui, 1991), Europe (Langström, 1983; Schroeder, 1987; Bouhot et al., 1988; Hui, 1991; Guerrero et al., 1997; Dajoz, 2000) and Mediterranean regions (Triggiani & Santini, 1987; Monleón et al., 1996; Nanni & Tiberi, 1997). Three widespread species occur in the Iberian Peni...
متن کاملInfection, course of disease and effects of Canningia tomici in Tomicus piniperda and Tomicus minor (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Background and purpose. The pine shoot beetles Tomicus piniperda and Tomicus minor are secondary tree pests attacking weakened Pinus sylvestris and Pinus nigra. Outbreaks occasionally occur, causing considerable economic damage. The microsporidian pathogen Canningia tomici infects T. piniperda as its principal host. Bioassays were used to study the infectivity, vertical transmission, and effect...
