| attraction of southern pine engravers and associated bark beetles (coleoptera: scolytidae) to ipsenol, ipsdienol, and lanierone in southeastern united states. | we determined the response of the small southern pine engraver, ips avulsus (eichhoff); eastern fivespined ips, ips grandicollis (eichhoff); sixspined ips, ips calligraphus (germar); and pine engraver, ips pini (say) to the pheromones (+/-)-ipsenol, (+/-)-ipsdienol, and lanierone in the southeastern united states. catches of i. avulsus and i. grandicollis to baited multiple-funnel traps were increased by (+/-)-ipsenol and (+/-)-ipsdienol in florida, georgia, louisiana, and north carolina. in all ... | 2005 | 16539133 |
| species composition, seasonal activity, and semiochemical response of native and exotic bark and ambrosia beetles (coleoptera: curculionidae: scolytinae) in northeastern ohio. | in 2007, we surveyed the alien and endemic scolytine (bark and ambrosia beetles) fauna of northeastern ohio, and for the most abundant species, we characterized their seasonal activity and response to three semiochemical baits. in total ,5,339 scolytine beetles represented by 47 species and 29 genera were caught in lindgren funnel traps. three species constituted 57% of the total catch, including xylosandrus germanus (blandford), tomicus piniperda (l.), and dryocoetes autographus (ratzeburg). of ... | 2010 | 20857727 |
| test of nonhost angiosperm volatiles and verbenone to protect trap trees for sirex noctilio (hymenoptera: siricidae) from attacks by bark beetles (coleoptera: scolytidae) in the northeastern united states. | sirex noctilio f. (hymenoptera: siricidae) is an invasive woodwasp, currently established in northeastern north america. in other regions of the world, stressed trap trees are used to monitor populations of s. noctilio and to provide inoculation points for the biological control nematode deladenus siricidicola bedding. however, the operational use of trap trees for s. noctilio in north america may be compromised by the large community of native organisms that inhabit stressed and dying pine tree ... | 2010 | 21309230 |
| variation in enantiospecific attraction of ips avulsus (coleoptera: curculionidae) to the pheromone ipsdienol in georgia. | in 2006, we tested the responses of the small southern pine engraver, ips avulsus (eichhoff) (coleoptera: curculionidae), to multiple-funnel traps baited with (+)-, (-)-, and (+/-)-ipsdienol. three experiments were conducted in georgia with all traps co-baited with one of the following lure combinations, respectively: experiment 1, ipsenol; experiment 2, lanierone and (-)-alpha-pinene; and experiment 3, ipsenol, lanierone, and (-)-alpha-pinene. ipsdienol and lanierone are aggregation pheromones ... | 2011 | 21735909 |
| bark beetle pheromones and pine volatiles: attractant kairomone lure blend for longhorn beetles (cerambycidae) in pine stands of the southeastern united states. | in 2006, we examined the flight responses of 43 species of longhorn beetles (coleoptera: cerambycidae) to multiple-funnel traps baited with binary lure blends of (1) ipsenol + ipsdienol, (2) ethanol + alpha-pinene, and a quaternary lure blend of (3) ipsenol + ipsdienol + ethanol + alpha-pinene in the southeastern united states. in addition, we monitored responses of buprestidae, elateridae, and curculionidae commonly associated with pine longhorn beetles. field trials were conducted in mature pi ... | 2011 | 21882689 |
| relative performance of lindgren multiple-funnel, intercept panel, and colossus pipe traps in catching cerambycidae and associated species in the southeastern united states. | in 2004, we evaluated the relative performance of 8-unit lindgren multiple-funnel (funnel), intercept panel (panel), and colossus pipe (pipe) traps, baited with ethanol and ac-pinene lures, in catching saproxylic beetles (coleoptera) in pine stands in northern florida and western south carolina. panel traps were as good as, if not better than, funnel and pipe traps for catching cerambycidae. in particular, more monochamus titillator (f.) were captured in panel traps than in pipe and funnel traps ... | 2011 | 22299355 |
| arboreal insects associated with herbicide-stressed pinus resinosa and pinus sylvestris used as sirex noctilio trap trees in new york. | in september of 2004, sirex noctilio f. (hymenoptera: siricidae) was detected in new york state and later found to be established over a larger area, including parts of southeastern canada and the northeastern united states. a key component of s. noctilio detection and management plans in other parts of the world where s. noctilio has become established are chemically girdled trap trees. trap tree usage in north america is confounded by the presence of diverse communities of organisms that inhab ... | 2012 | 23321081 |
| the bark beetle, ips grandicollis, disrupts biological control of the woodwasp, sirex noctilio, via fungal symbiont interactions. | the corticoid fungus, amylostereum areolatum, is deposited in pine trees by the woodwasp, sirex noctilio, at the time of oviposition. this fungus is essential in s. noctilio larval growth and it is also a food source for beddingia siricidicola, the nematode used for s. noctilio biological control. in recent years, the historically successful biological control programme has been disrupted in australia by the bark beetle, ips grandicollis. this study investigated whether the mechanism of this dis ... | 2014 | 24308452 |
| molecular evidence of facultative intraguild predation by monochamus titillator larvae (coleoptera: cerambycidae) on members of the southern pine beetle guild. | the southern pine bark beetle guild (spbg) is arguably the most destructive group of forest insects in the southeastern usa. this guild contains five species of bark beetles (coleoptera: curculionidae: scolytinae): dendroctonus frontalis, dendroctonus terebrans, ips avulsus, ips calligraphus, and ips grandicollis. a diverse community of illicit receivers is attracted to pheromones emitted by the spbg, including the woodborers monochamus carolinensis and monochamus titillator (coleoptera: ceramby ... | 2012 | 23052822 |
| predicting north american scolytinae invasions in the southern hemisphere. | scolytinae species are recognized as one of the most important tree mortality agents in coniferous forests worldwide, and many are known invaders because they are easily transported in wood products. nonnative trees planted in novel habitats often exhibit exceptional growth, in part because they escape herbivore (such as scolytinae) pressure from their native range. increasing accidental introductions of forest pest species as a consequence of international trade, however, is expected to diminis ... | 2017 | 28052506 |
| role of ipsdienol, ipsenol, and cis-verbenol in chemical ecology of ips avulsus, ips calligraphus, and ips grandicollis (coleoptera: curculionidae: scolytinae). | stressed or damaged pine (pinus sp.) trees in the southeastern united states are often colonized simultaneously by three southern ips species (coleoptera: curculionidae: scolytinae): small southern pine engraver, ips avulsus (eichhoff); sixspined ips, ips calligraphus (germar); and eastern fivespined ips, ips grandicollis (eichhoff). all three species mediate colonization of host material with volatile pheromones. all of the southern ips produce cis-verbenol, and either ipsdienol or ipsenol, and ... | 2012 | 22812131 |
| ethanol and (-)-alpha-pinene: attractant kairomones for bark and ambrosia beetles in the southeastern us. | in 2002-2004, we examined the flight responses of 49 species of native and exotic bark and ambrosia beetles (coleoptera: scolytidae and platypodidae) to traps baited with ethanol and/or (-)-alpha-pinene in the southeastern us. eight field trials were conducted in mature pine stands in alabama, florida, georgia, north carolina, and south carolina. funnel traps baited with ethanol lures (release rate, about 0.6 g/day at 25-28 degrees c) were attractive to ten species of ambrosia beetles (ambrosiod ... | 2009 | 19294470 |
