North American Forest Insect Work Conference, "Metamorphosis: The forces of change", Asheville, USA (2006-05-22 - 2006-05-26). PREFACE The North American Forest Insect Work Conference (NAFIWC) is the conclave of the forest entomology community. The conference is scheduled on a five-year cycle and is intended to provide a forum for discussion of contemporary issues in forest entomology. The agenda is broad-based and includes topics relating to research, development, application, and education. The ’06 conference theme was Metamorphosis-forces of change in forests. The goals of the conference were (i) to address the issue of change in the diverse subjects addressed by and associated with forest entomology and (ii) identify the critical issues where emphasis should be directed in the near future. The NAFIWC draws together forest entomology professionals, practitioners, and students from North America: US, Canada, and Mexico. It serves to integrate and unify the annual regional conferences: the Southern Forest Insect Work Conference, the Western Forest Insect Work Conference, the North Central Forest Pest Management Work Conference, and the North Eastern Forest Insect Work Conference. Participants in the NAFIWC include representatives from the USDA Forest Service, the Canadian Forest Service, State and Provincial forestry organizations, universities, NGOs, and industry. It is the only conference where the full complement of forest entomologists assembles to discuss the state of their enterprise. The ’06 conference featured plenary sessions in which invited speakers provided their insight into issues of change in forest ecosystems and in the science and practice of forest entomology. The major emphasis of the meeting was moderated concurrent workshops dealing with topics that embrace the scope and bounds of forest entomology. The stakeholder community was asked to identify specific agenda topics. Each workshop concluded with a Version postprint group discussion of research, development and application needs within the specific topic area. At a final facilitated group session, participants discussed these identified needs within the context of several major topic areas and identify critical issues to be addressed in the near future. There have been three previous iterations of the NAFIWC: 1991 in Denver, CO, 1996 in San Antonio, TX, and 2001 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Each conference featured a robust agenda that encompassed the traditional subjects entertained in forest entomology but, in addition, considered issues of contemporary importance. The principal benefit of the conferences was information exchange, which was accomplished through plenary addresses, workshop presentations and discussion, and social interaction among the participants. The accomplishments of the conferences were captured in published proceedings. Participation in the conferences has ranged from ca 275 to 375 registrants. The forest entomology community formulated the program, so the various workshops and plenary addresses defacto provide a coarse overview of the issues of contemporary interest and importance. The program consists of 28 workshops which are grouped into six tracks: invasive insects (6), management and silviculture (3), scales and interactions (4), change (5), direct tactics in forest insect management (7), and biodiversity and natural heritage (3). Each workshop had a Moderator who was responsible for organization. Typically, several Comment citer ce document : 3 Robinet, C., Roques, A. (2006).

Presented at 4. North American Forest Insect Work Conference, "Metamorphosis: The forces of change", Asheville, USA (2006-05-22 - 2006-05-26). individuals were asked to make a presentation on an important aspect of the subject at hand. Each workshop speaker identified critical issues associated with the subject of their presentation. The Moderator compiled a list of critical issues identified in the workshop. “Track Coordinators” were designated for each of the six tracks. They compiled, integrated, and synthesized the critical issues identified in the workshops within their track. At the conclusion of the conference, each Track Coordinator presented the results to the meeting at large for discussion and commentary. The results of this activity are presented at the end of these Proceedings. The following Proceedings are organized by the six tracks.

Billings, Texas Forest Service, College Station, TX 77840 Forest pest management, from the perspective of southern state forestry agencies, has changed in recent years. The author discussed responsibilities and challenges facing a state forest pest specialist, based on his 33 years of experience as principal entomologist with the Texas Forest Service (TFS). Texas, the second largest state in the union, has a diversity of ecological regions, vegetation types, and forest pest challenges. The TFS Forest Pest Management (formerly Forest Pest Control) Section was established in 1962 specifically to address an outbreak of the southern pine beetle (Dendroctonus frontalis Zimm.) in the 12 million acres of native pine forests of eastern Texas. Pest problems have grown in number and complexity in the last 24 years to include seed orchard insects, regeneration weevils (Hylobius spp., Pachylobius spp.), Nantucket pine tip moth (Rhyacionia frustrana (Compstock)), leaf-cutting ants (Atta texana (Buckley)), various insect defoliators and fusiform rust (Cronartium fusiforme Hedg. & Hunt ex Cumm.)

  • The Ecology, Behavior, and Biological Control Potential of Hymenopteran Parasitoids of Woodwasps (Hymenoptera: Siricidae) in North America
    REVIEW:BIOLOGICAL CONTROL-PARASITOIDS &PREDATORS The Ecology, Behavior, and Biological Control Potential of Hymenopteran Parasitoids of Woodwasps (Hymenoptera: Siricidae) in North America 1 DAVID R. COYLE AND KAMAL J. K. GANDHI Daniel B. Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602 Environ. Entomol. 41(4): 731Ð749 (2012); DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1603/EN11280 ABSTRACT Native and exotic siricid wasps (Hymenoptera: Siricidae) can be ecologically and/or economically important woodboring insects in forests worldwide. In particular, Sirex noctilio (F.), a Eurasian species that recently has been introduced to North America, has caused pine tree (Pinus spp.) mortality in its non-native range in the southern hemisphere. Native siricid wasps are known to have a rich complex of hymenopteran parasitoids that may provide some biological control pressure on S. noctilio as it continues to expand its range in North America. We reviewed ecological information about the hymenopteran parasitoids of siricids in North America north of Mexico, including their distribution, life cycle, seasonal phenology, and impacts on native siricid hosts with some potential efÞcacy as biological control agents for S. noctilio. Literature review indicated that in the hymenop- teran families Stephanidae, Ibaliidae, and Ichneumonidae, there are Þve genera and 26 species and subspecies of native parasitoids documented from 16 native siricids reported from 110 tree host species. Among parasitoids that attack the siricid subfamily Siricinae, Ibalia leucospoides ensiger (Norton), Rhyssa persuasoria (L.), and Megarhyssa nortoni (Cresson) were associated with the greatest number of siricid and tree species. These three species, along with R. lineolata (Kirby), are the most widely distributed Siricinae parasitoid species in the eastern and western forests of North America.

Despite the economic importance of this insect-disease complex, only a few studies are available on the population genetic structure of M. alternatus and the relationship between its historic dispersal pattern and various human activities. The aim of the present study was to further explore aspects of human activity on the population genetic structure of M.
