2006 Final Caps Core Report 2006 FINAL CAPS CORE REPORT CAPS CORE Project, Grant # 061578 1 January – 31 December 2007 Erin Hodgson, Extension Entomologist Clair Allen, SPRO and Director of Plant Industry Department of Biology Utah Department of Agriculture and Food Utah State University 350 North Redwood Road Logan, UT 84322 Salt Lake City, UT 84116 The Utah CAPS (Cooperative Agricultural Pest Survey) Program is a cooperative agreement between the Utah Department of Food and Agriculture (UDAF) and Utah State University (USU). Each entity has designated a State Survey Coordinator (SSC), with funding received by USDA-APHIS-PPQ (United States Department of Agriculture – Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service – Plant Protection and Quarantine) and administration of funds through UDAF. The Utah CAPS Program has a well-organized committee, with more than twenty members from state and federal agencies. Members specialize in various disciplines, including: entomology, forestry, plant pathology, weed science, agriculture and pesticide usage. The Utah CAPS Committee helps identify emerging priority pests for Utah and also improves sampling techniques for future survey programs. The Committee receives pertinent updates about potential invasive pests throughout the year and at the CAPS Survey Meetings; in 2007, we met in February and May. Other interested parties, such as USU Extension, the Bureau of Land Management and the Utah Nursery and Landscape Association, are also informed about pest activity as needed. Several pest surveys were conducted in 2007, with all data entered into the NAPIS (National Agricultural Pest Information System) as soon as it is received by our Data Entry Manager, Ryan Davis. All available Utah NAPIS data was entered by 31 December 2007 so it could be included in the Western Region CAPS Report. The 2007 Utah CAPS Program has met all the requirements of the cooperative agreement with USDA-APHIS-PPQ and has contributed to the overall regional and national programs.

CAPS CORE Project (Erin Hodgson, USU), $97,412. Facilitate statewide pest surveys and coordinate other CAPS-related activities, in addition to providing support for a State Survey Coordinator and Data Entry Manager. This funding ensured taxonomic identification and subsequent uploading of information into the NAPIS database. 2. Exotic pest survey (Erin Hodgson, USU), $12,273. Survey for the early detection of silver Y moth and Egyptian cottonworm in commercial alfalfa and grain. Sticky traps with pheromone lures for each species were placed in nearly every county. A total of 147 traps were collected and sorted by James Pitts, Insect Museum Curator, USU. No positive detections for silver Y moth and Egyptian cottonworm were confirmed in 2007. A total of 70 uploads were entered into NAPIS. 3. Imported fire ant survey (Erin Hodgson, USU), $15,018. Fourteen parks and golf courses in Washington County were surveyed for the presence of red and black imported fire ants. Eleven genera were detected, including native Solenopsis species at twelve locations. However, the invasive species were not detected any of the locations. A total of 1 upload was entered into NAPIS. 4. Cereal leaf beetle biological control survey (Edward Evans, USU), $28,329. 5. Area-wide nematode survey (Kent Evans, USU), $32,303. Survey for the early detection for harmful parasitic plant nematodes in major cropping and nursery production areas. Six additional counties in Utah were sampled for nematodes of regulatory concern in 2007. In total, 146 samples, covering a wide array of crops grown in Utah, were submitted to the nematology laboratory at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, for analyses. No regulatory pests (nematodes) were found in any of the samples we have taken this year. There are 26 samples that remain to be analyzed by Nebraska. 6. Wood boring bark beetle survey (Clint Burfitt, UDAF), $19,970. Trap sites were selected in areas that receive raw or unrefined products and wood packing materials. In 2007, 25 trap sites were chosen throughout 17 counties. Each site contained three Lindgren funnel traps baited with ethanol and a-pinnene lure, ips complex lure, and ethanol lure, respectively. Each trap was collected biweekly, screened for target species or species of interest, and stored at UDAF. Traps were generally set in April and retrieved in November. All specimens were screened by Dan Clark of UDAF and further identified by to species by Josh Vlach, Jim Lebonte, and Rick Wescott of Oregon Department of Agriculture in conjunction with the USDA Forest Service Early Detection Rapid Response Program. Confirmation of select specimens was done by Dr. Stephen Wood (Emeritus), Curator of Insects at the Mont L. Bean Museum of Life. A total of 17 uploads were entered into NAPIS. 7. Gypsy moth survey (Ed Bianco and Clint Burfitt, UDAF), $50,000. A total of 22 summary records were uploaded to NAPIS for the 2007 Utah Gypsy Moth Survey. The survey included a total of 2,667 traps (1,647 high-risk) in 28 counties (all except Piute County). A total of 132 delimiting traps were placed in Summit County. Two male gypsy moths were caught in separate traps from Salt Lake County. Both individuals were confirmed by OTIS Lab as North American type. Based on the Utah Gypsy Moth Decision and Action Committee recommendation for 2008 UDAF will maintain a 1000’ delimiting grid around the catch site in Magna and a 500’ delimiting grid around the Sandy City catch site. 8. False codling moth survey (Ed Bianco and Clint Burfitt, UDAF), $27,237. A total of 15 summary records were uploaded to NAPIS for the 2007 Utah False Codling Moth Survey. The survey included 95 pheromone traps placed in 15 counties. Traps were placed in residential neighborhoods to monitor areas near nursery retailers. All trapping results were negative. 9. Asian Defoliator (Ed Bianco and Clint Burfitt, UDAF), $18,615. A total of 67 summary records were uploaded to NAPIS for the 2007 Utah Asian Defoliator Survey. The survey included 75 pheromone traps placed in 13 counties. Rosy (Pink) Gypsy Moth, Lymantria mathura; Asian gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar; and Siberian Silk Moth, Dendrolimus superans sibiricus (Tschetverikov). Traps were placed to target various shipping areas including airports, railroads, and shipping yards. All trapping results were negative. 10. Karnal bunt survey (Ed Bianco and Clint Burfitt, UDAF), $1,000. Five samples were collected from Utah: 3 from Box Elder County and 2 from San Juan County. Samples were submitted to the APHIS recommended laboratory for analysis. 11. Phytophthora ramorum survey (Clair Allen, UDAF), $20,754. A total of 3 trace forward inspections were conducted for the 2006 Utah Sudden Oak Death Survey. The survey included 31 species of plants at a total of 9 locations in 4 counties. Funding was passed through to the Utah Plant Pest Diagnostics Laboratory at to conduct diagnostics. 12. Cooperative weed management area survey (Bill Gilson), $20,754. The 2007 Utah Weed Supervisors Biological Weed Control Grant program in Utah used $16,888 to fund five Cooperative Weed Management Areas’ biological weed control projects. The organizations released 73,700 insects and monitored millions more. They monitored 8,857 acres, inventoried 9,701 acres, and treated 2,382 acres. Most projects had an educational component and reported reaching a total of 1,239 people with their message. Grand County’s tamarisk project received press in Grand Junction and Moab, reaching thousands more readers. Most of the CWMAs pooled resources at biological control workdays. Important research continues to be partially funded through the APHIS grant. Matching cost share totaled $42,652. 2007 New Utah State and County records: a. Hylastes opacus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) in Salt Lake, Weber and Utah Counties. Specimens were collected in Lindgren funnel traps as part of the EDRR/ CAPS Wood Borer Survey, and are now part of Utah Department of Agriculture and Food entomological collection. Hylastes opacus is a European exotic established in the eastern U.S. and parts of the west. b. Hylastes asperatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae)an exotic wood borer, was tentatively identified and has been submitted to USDA for verification. The specimen was submitted from Washington County in September 2006 after it emerged from a wooden drum shipped from Zimbabwe. The beetle is not deemed to be a threat to living plants. A tentative record for this pest has been uploaded to NAPIS. c. Chrysobothris nixa (flatheaded cedar borer) was tentatively identified from a creeping juniper sample submitted from Cache County in October 2006. Identification was based on the larval genus and host plant. Adult specimens will be submitted for identification if they can be obtained. d. Chrysobothris arizonica (Coleoptera: Bupretidae) in Garfield County. Specimen were collected in Lindgren funnel traps as part of the EDRR/CAPS Wood Borer Survey, and are now part of Utah Department of Agriculture and Food entomological collection. e. An unknown buprestid beetle is currently being identified by R. L. Wescott, Oregon Department of Agriculture. The beetle was collected in Lindgren funnel trap in Iron County as part of the EDRR/ CAPS Wood Borer Survey..

JORDAL Jordal, B.H. 2019. The bark and ambrosia beetle (Coleoptera, Scolytinae) collection at the University Museum of Bergen – with notes on extended distributions in Norway. Norwegian Journal of Entomology 66, 19–31. The bark and ambrosia beetle collection at the University Museum in Bergen has been curated and digitized, and is available in public databases. Several species were recorded from Western Norway for the first or second time. The pine inhabiting species Hylastes opacus Erichson, 1836 is reported from Western Norway for the first time, and the rare speciesPityogenes trepanatus (Nordlinger, 1848) for the second time. The spruce inhabiting species Pityogenes chalcographus (Linnaeus, 1761) and Cryphalus asperatus (Gyllenhal, 1813), which are common in eastern Norway, were recorded in several Western Norway localities. Broadleaf inhabiting species such as Anisandrus dispar (Fabricius, 1792), Taphrorychus bicolor (Herbst, 1793), Dryocoetes villosus (Fabricius, 1792), Scolytus laevis Chapuis, 1869 and Scolytus ratzeburgi Janson, 1856 were collected for the second or third time in Western Norway.

  • Phoretic on Bark Beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytinae): Global Generalists, Local Specialists?
    ARTHROPOD BIOLOGY Diversity and Host Use of Mites (Acari: Mesostigmata, Oribatida) Phoretic on Bark Beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytinae): Global Generalists, Local Specialists? 1,2,3 1 2 WAYNE KNEE, MARK R. FORBES, AND FRE´ DE´ RIC BEAULIEU Ann. Entomol. Soc. Am. 106(3): 339Ð350 (2013); DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1603/AN12092 ABSTRACT Mites (Arachnida: Acari) are one of the most diverse groups of organisms associated with bark beetles (Curculionidae: Scolytinae), but their taxonomy and ecology are poorly understood, including in Canada. Here we address this by describing the diversity, species composition, and host associations of mesostigmatic and oribatid mites collected from scolytines across four sites in eastern Ontario, Canada, in 2008 and 2009. Using Lindgren funnel traps baited with ␣-pinene, ethanol lures, or Ips pini (Say) pheromone lures, a total of 5,635 bark beetles (30 species) were collected, and 16.4% of these beetles had at least one mite. From these beetles, a total of 2,424 mites representing 33 species from seven families were collected. The majority of mite species had a narrow host range from one (33.3%) or two (36.4%) host species, and fewer species had a host range of three or more hosts (30.3%). This study represents the Þrst broad investigation of the acarofauna of scolytines in Canada, and we expand upon the known (worldwide) host records of described mite species by 19%, and uncover 12 new species. Half (7) of the 14 most common mites collected in this study showed a marked preference for a single host species, which contradicts the hypothesis that nonparasitic mites are typically not host speciÞc, at least locally.

Simple Summary: Biological invasions are one of the most critical problems today. Invaders have been damaging tree- and shrub-dominated ecosystems. Among these harmful species, a notable role belongs to bark beetles and borers. Extensive phytosanitary measures are needed to prevent their penetration into new regions. However, the lists of quarantine pests should be reasonably brief for more effective prevention of invasion of potentially harmful insects. Our goal is to reveal the set of biological traits of invasive bark beetles and borers that are currently known. We identified four invasion strategies. Inbred, the first one is characterized by inbreeding, parthenogenesis, polyvoltin- ism, xylomycetophagy, flightless males, polyphagy, to less extent by association with pathogenic fungi.
