I further agree that copying of this dissertation is allowable only for scholarly purposes, consistent with “fair use” as prescribed in the U.S. Copyright Law. Requests for extensive copying or reproduction of this dissertation should be referred to ProQuest Information and Learning, 300 North Zeeb Road, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48106, to whom I have granted “the exclusive right to reproduce and distribute my dissertation in and from microform along with the non- exclusive right to reproduce and distribute my abstract in any format in whole or in part.” Marjolein Schat December 2008 iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would never have embarked on this journey without the example and encouragement provided by my father, K.A. Schat. Nor would I have been able to complete the process without the many forms of support he and my step-mother, L. Stenzler, provided along the way. I owe this degree in large part to them. I have also benefitted from the strength and encouragement of many other people far too numerous to list. In particular I would like to thank D.G.P. for talking me through the rough parts of getting started and surviving my comps, B.C. for helping me “get out of my head” by providing much needed moments of respite during the latter half my program, and R.M. and R.H. for being there to talk to on those lonely evenings and weekends in the office. This project was funded by the Montana Department of Agriculture Noxious Weed Trust Fund and additional support came from the Bozeman USFS Forestry Sciences Laboratory, Montana State University, and the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station. I could not have completed this work without the help of my many field assistants and fellow CoBRA members. Finally, but by no means least importantly, I would like to thank my committee (Robert K.D. Peterson, Fabian Menalled, David Weaver, Sharlene Sing, and Jim Jacobs) for their thoughtful insights and help at all stages of my project. Every committee member contributed valuable components to this dissertation. v TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

This isn’t limited to just humans though, insects exhibit this kind of behaviour too! Family time in ambrosia beetles: The majority of ambrosia beetle species tunnel Alberta’s eye into the heartwood of weakened trees, where they cultivate fungus as a food source. Like termites, bees, and ants, many ambrosia beetles are eusocial; they on forest live in colonies with many individuals and overlapping generations. Just like health human families, every individual in the colony has their job. The brood are respon- sible for enlarging the gallery and sweeping up the poop (frass). Adults protect the brood and shuffle the frass balls out of the gallery, while everyone helps take care Issue highlights: of the fungus garden. And as with many human families, the mother runs things: The matriarch of the ambrosia beetle colony is the sole egg-layer, while the other Insect Gifting 1 females care for the offspring.

  • Chapter 12. Biocontrol Arthropods: New Denizens of Canada's
    291 Chapter 12 Biocontrol Arthropods: New Denizens of Canada’s Grassland Agroecosystems Rosemarie De Clerck-Floate and Héctor Cárcamo Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Lethbridge Research Centre 5403 - 1 Avenue South, P.O. Box 3000 Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada T1J 4B1 Abstract. Canada’s grassland ecosystems have undergone major changes since the arrival of European agriculture, ranging from near-complete replacement of native biodiversity with annual crops to the effects of overgrazing by cattle on remnant native grasslands. The majority of the “agroecosystems” that have replaced the historical native grasslands now encompass completely new associations of plants and arthropods in what is typically a mix of introduced and native species. Some of these species are pests of crops and pastures and were accidentally introduced. Other species are natural enemies of these pests and were deliberately introduced as classical biological control (biocontrol) agents to control these pests. To control weeds, 76 arthropod species have been released against 24 target species in Canada since 1951, all of which also have been released in western Canada. Of these released species, 53 (70%) have become established, with 18 estimated to be reducing target weed populations. The biocontrol programs for leafy spurge in the prairie provinces and knapweeds in British Columbia have been the largest, each responsible for the establishment of 10 new arthropod species on rangelands. This chapter summarizes the ecological highlights of these programs and those for miscellaneous weeds. Compared with weed biocontrol on rangelands, classical biocontrol of arthropod crop pests by using arthropods lags far behind, mostly because of a preference to manage crop pests with chemicals.

  • Invasive Vegetation Management Plan Environmental Assessment February 21, 2013
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Yellowstone National Park Invasive Vegetation Management Plan Environmental Assessment February 21, 2013 ii Invasive Vegetation Management Plan / Environmental Assessment Executive Summary Yellowstone National Park (YNP) has developed a plan to address terrestrial invasive nonnative plants parkwide. (As used here, the term “invasive nonnative plant” has a similar meaning as alien, exotic, or noxious plant or weed.) This Invasive Vegetation Management Plan and Environmental Assessment (EA) provides a comprehensive approach toward invasive vegetation management to preserve, protect, and restore the diversity, ecological integrity, and processes associated with native plant communities in the park. The purpose of the plan is to expand current invasive plant management efforts and implement a parkwide strategy to prevent the establishment and spread of invasive nonnative plant species and to restore, as needed, native plant communities in the park. The plan proposes to achieve these goals by accomplishing the following objectives: 1. Prevent the entry and establishment of new invasive plants 2. Control existing populations of invasive plants by eradicating them, reducing their abundance and density, and containing their spread 3. Restore native plant communities when they have been disrupted or replaced by invasive nonnative plant populations. This environmental assessment evaluates a No-Action Alternative and one action alternative: • Alternative A – The No-Action Alternative represents
