  • Seasonality and Lure Preference of Bark Beetles (Curculionidae: Scolytinae) and Associates in a Northern Arizona Ponderosa Pine Forest
    COMMUNITY AND ECOSYSTEM ECOLOGY Seasonality and Lure Preference of Bark Beetles (Curculionidae: Scolytinae) and Associates in a Northern Arizona Ponderosa Pine Forest 1,2 1 3 1 M. L. GAYLORD, T. E. KOLB, K. F. WALLIN, AND M. R. WAGNER Environ. Entomol. 35(1): 37Ð47 (2006) ABSTRACT Ponderosa pine forests in northern Arizona have historically experienced limited bark beetle-caused tree mortality, and little is known about the bark beetle community in these forests. Our objectives were to describe the ßight seasonality and lure preference of bark beetles and their associates in these forests. We monitored bark beetle populations for 24 consecutive months in 2002 and 2003 using Lindgren funnel traps with Þve different pheromone lures. In both years, the majority of bark beetles were trapped between May and October, and the peak captures of coleopteran predator species, Enoclerus (F.) (Cleridae) and Temnochila chlorodia (Mannerheim), occurred between June and August. Trap catches of Elacatis (Coleoptera: Othniidae, now Salpingidae), a suspected predator, peaked early in the spring. For wood borers, trap catches of the Buprestidae family peaked in late May/early June, and catches of the Cerambycidae family peaked in July/August. The lure targeted for Dendroctonus brevicomis LeConte attracted the largest percentage of all Dendroc- tonus beetles except for D. valens LeConte, which was attracted in highest percentage to the lure targeted for D. valens. The lure targeted for Ips pini attracted the highest percentage of beetles for all three Ips species [I.pini (Say), I. latidens (LeConte), and I. lecontei Swaine] and the two predators, Enoclerus and T. chlorodia.

    Bark Beetles Facilitate the Establishment of Wood Decay Fungi Ylva Maria Elisabeth Strid Faculty of Natural Recourses and Agricultural Sciences Department of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology Uppsala Doctoral Thesis Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences Uppsala 2012 Acta Universitatis agriculturae Sueciae 2012:72 Cover: Norway spruce high stumps and Norway spruce stem sections outside and inside a cage (photo: Y.

Wood decay fungi, i.e. basidiomycetes, are important for nutrient cycling. Saproxylic insects may facilitate the fungal colonization by opening up bark layer, provide a court for introduction, or they can specifically or loosely vector fungal propagules to the substrate. The aim of the thesis was to clarify the role of insects for dispersal of fungal spores and propagules to Norway spruce stem sections, determine whether mycelial establishment was aided by holes in the bark created by the bark beetle, examine the early succession of fungal diversity in dead wood, and determine whether the hibernation environments for Ips typographus have an impact on the fungal community dispersed by the bark beetle. Further analysis was conducted on wood material from high stumps and stem sections, mycelia from high stumps, and bark beetles from high stumps, stem sections, standing trees and forest litter. Pure culture isolation, T-RFLP, cloning and 454- sequencing were methods used to explain the fungal community composition.

Abstract: The population densities of I. typographus and P. chalcographus inside the Carpathian Mountains increasing mostly because of the non-synchronized and divers management strategies. The growing loss of trees from one year to another indicates assessment to determine the influence of the current management practices (or the absence of such) on bark beetle densities. A comprehensive tree-year assessment were made inside the Apuseni Natural Park, with a surface of 75,784 ha, to assess the population density of bark beetles. High abundance of both species were detected from one year to another, both in managed and unmanaged forests, the latter explained by the presence of scattered wind falling trees which represent favorable places for oviposition. General linear modelling revealed that the effect of environmental variables (forest mean age, forest density, altitude and slope) on I. typographus density were only significant under management systems, and only Citation: Fora, C.G.; Balog, A. The forest age has significantly negative effect on bark beetles densities.

The frequency of recurring bark beetle epidemics depends on the size of the area being considered, how extensively the stand(s) was decimated by a previous epidemic(s), and how fast the stand(s) grows into the hazardous condition.

The host for this species is spruce (Picea), but it is known to be able to infest a number of other conifers including Pinus (pine), Larix (larch), Abies (fir), Juniperus (juniper), and Pseudotsuga (Douglas fir). Larvae feed in the cambium of tree branches and in the trunk, damaging the tree by girdling it and spreading blue stain fungus (Figs. 2-3). Pityogenes chalcographus is a member of the Curculionidae (subfamily Scolytinae) which is comprised of weevils and bark beetles. Members of this Fig 1: trapped Pityogenes family are highly variable but almost all species share a distinct antennal club chalcographus in the field (photo consisting of three segments. The subfamily Scolytinae, to which Pityogenes by Milan Zubrik, Forest Research belongs, consists of the bark beetles. In general, members of Scolytinae are Institute - Slovakia, Bugwood.org). small (<10mm long) pill shaped beetles of a reddish brown or black color. Some authors consider Scolytinae to be a distinct family (Scolytidae). The tribe Ipini is a large and closely allied group of genera within Scolytinae.
