| species dependent influence of (-)-alpha-pinene on attraction of ambrosia beetles (coleoptera: curculionidae: scolytinae) to ethanol-baited traps in nursery agroecosystems. | field-based trapping experiments were conducted in ohio in 2003, 2004, and 2008 to determine the influence of (-)-alpha-pinene on the attraction of exotic and native ambrosia beetles (coleoptera: curculionidae: scolytinae) to ethanol-baited traps. in 2003 and 2004, we determined the effect of adding an (-)-alpha-pinene ultrahigh release lure (uhr; 2 g/d at 20 degrees c) to traps baited with an ethanol uhr lure (0.39 g/d). feweranisandrus (xyleborus) sayi (hopkins) and xyleborinus saxeseni (ratze ... | 2011 | 21510207 |
| wickerhamomyces arborarius f.a., sp. nov., an ascomycetous yeast species found in arboreal habitats on three different continents. | five strains representing a novel yeast species belonging to the genus wickerhamomyces were independently isolated from ecuador, taiwan and the usa. one strain (clqca 10-161(t)) was isolated from the white flower of an unidentified plant species collected in the maquipucuna cloud forest reserve, near quito, in ecuador. a second strain (gy7l12) was isolated from the leaf of a chinese sumac or nutgall tree (rhus chinensis 'roxburghiana') collected in the taoyuan mountain area, kachsiung, in taiwan ... | 2014 | 24453230 |
| dna barcoding of bark and ambrosia beetles reveals excessive numts and consistent east-west divergence across palearctic forests. | a comprehensive dna barcoding library is very useful for rapid identification and detection of invasive pest species. we tested the performance of species identification in the economically most damaging group of wood-boring insects - the bark and ambrosia beetles - with particular focus on broad geographical sampling across the boreal palearctic forests. neighbour-joining and bayesian analyses of cytochrome oxidase i (coi) sequences from 151 species in 40 genera revealed high congruence between ... | 2014 | 23919425 |
| comparison of arboreal beetle catches in wet and dry collection cups with lindgren multiple funnel traps. | we compared the effectiveness of a dry collection cup (with an insecticide killing strip) to a wet collection cup (containing antifreeze) for use with lindgren multiple-funnel traps in catching several common species of bark and wood-boring beetles, and their associates in southern pine forests. all traps were baited with either the binary combination of ethanol and (-)-alpha-pinene or the quaternary combination of (+/-)-ipsenol, (+/-)-ipsdienol, ethanol, and (-)-alpha-pinene. we found that cup ... | 2008 | 18330123 |
