Abstract Proceedings of the Third Meeting of Forest Protection and Forest Phytosanitary Experts, October 14-16, 2009, Vienna, Austria Native pests and diseases, invasive alien species and especially the problems with ash dieback were again the reason of an expert meeting at the Federal Research and Training Centre for Forests, Natural Hazards and Landscape (BFW) which was held from 14th to 16th October 2009 in Vienna. For this occasion 66 participants from 16 Central, South and North European countries and Turkey took the opportunity for an exchange of information. As practiced during the two meetings before, most of the time was dedicated to discussions and informal talks. Papers of the oral and poster presentations are provided in this issue. 2 FORSTSCHUTZ AKTUELL 55, 2012 Content Christian tomiCzek Preface ..............................................................................................................................5 andrej kunCa, milan zúbrik, roman leontovyč, jozef vakula, bohdan konôpka, andrej Gubka, juraj Galko, valéria lonGauerová, Christo nikolov, slavomír find’o, juraj varínsky and peter kaštier Major Forest Damaging Agents in Slovakia........................................................................7 horst delb The Current Forest Protection Situation in the Southwest of Germany ............................10 Gabriela lobinGer Current Health Situation of Oak in Bavaria ......................................................................14 pia barklund Current Disease Status in Swedish Forests ......................................................................17 iben marGrete thomsen and jens peter skovsGaard Silvicultural Strategies for Forest Stands with Ash Dieback ..............................................18 Cristina salvadori, GiorGio maresi, federiCo pedrazzoli and dario bitussi Forest Protection Situation in Trentino (Northeastern Italy) in 2008-2009 ....................21 nikiCa oGris Recent Outbreaks of Gremmeniella abietina in Slovenia ..............................................24 milivoj franjević, milan pernek and boris hrašoveC Bark Beetle Populations in Croatia in 2008-2009 – Monitoring Data and Research Observations ..................................................................26 Åke lindelöw Introduced or Overlooked?

On this occasion 66 participants from 16 countries out of Central and Northern Europe, and even two experts of the Asian part of Turkey, discussed current forest protection problems, unknown abiotic and biotic damages in different tree species, and the current situation of invasive pest species in their countries. Special emphasis was given on the ash dieback phenomenon, which has become a major disease in European forests. Furthermore, invasive alien species played a major role in presen - tations and discussions. Because of unforeseeable problems, it took nearly three years to publish the given presentations. Therefore, it has to be kept in mind that some conclusions, especially those dealing with ash dieback may no longer represent the current state of knowledge. For February 2013, the Fourth Meeting of Forest Protection and Phyto sanitary Experts is planned to be held in Vienna at the Federal Research and Training Centre for Forests, Natural Hazards and Landscape.

But research of reproductive system, spermiogenesis and spermatozoon ultrastructure of T. klimeschi that is basis of phylogeny, reproductive biology and controlling is still black. Results The male reproductive organ of T. klimeschi is composed of testis, seminal vesicle, strand shaped accessory gland containing long branch of strand shaped accessory gland and short branch of strand shaped accessory gland, curly accessory gland, vas deferens and a common ejaculatory duct. The number of sperm per cyst is 350~512. Its spermatozoon is slender, measuring about 75 μm in length and 0.5 μm in wide and composed of a 3-layred acrosomal complex, a nucleus with two different states of aggregation, two mitochondrial derivatives with dark crystal, a 9+9+2 axoneme that run more or less parallel to mitochondrial derivatives, two crystalline accessory bodies with a big compact “puff”-like expansion.

The predominant species found in the intestinal fungal communities mainly belong to the phyla Ascomycota and Basidiomycota. Fungal community structure varies with life stage. The genera Nakazawaea, Trichothecium, Aspergillus, Didymella, Villophora, and Auricularia are most prevalent in the larvae samples. Adults harbored high proportions of Graphium. The fungal community structures found in different sexes are similar. Fusarium is the most abundant genus and conserved in all development stages. Gut fungal communities showed notable variation in relative abundance during the overwintering stage. Fusarium and Nectriaceae were significantly increased in overwintering mature larvae. The data indicates that Fusarium might play important roles in the survival of T.

    Feeding preference of pine sawyer beetle (Monochamus carolinensis) on Pinaceae and use of virtual plant walk maps as a tool for teaching plant identification courses by Matthew Stephen Wilson B.S., Auburn University, 2006 M.S., Auburn University, 2010 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Horticulture and Natural Resources College of Agriculture KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2016 Abstract Feeding preference experiments with the pine sawyer beetle (Monochamus carolinensis Olivier) were conducted using eleven taxa of Pinaceae. One newly emerged adult beetle (≤ 24 hours) was placed into each feeding arena (n = 124) containing three or four shoots of current season's growth from different tree species (one shoot per species) for choice experiments. Beetles were allowed to feed for 48 (2011) or 72 (2012-2014) hours, at which point shoots were removed and data collected on feeding occurrence and percent feeding area. Augmented design analyses of feeding occurrence and percent feeding area of the eleven taxa did not indicate significant evidence for feeding preferences of the pine sawyer beetle on most taxa except for a higher preference for both scots (Pinus sylvestris L.) and eastern white (P. strobus L.) pines compared to deodar cedar [Cedrus deodara (Roxb. ex D. Don) G. Don]. The feeding preference experiments suggest that pine sawyer beetle may feed on a wide-range of Pinaceae taxa. Virtual plant walk maps were developed using a web-application for two semesters of an ornamental plant identification course (n = 87). The maps allowed students to revisit plants and information covered in lecture and laboratory sections at their own convenience, using either a computer or mobile device.

    Biology of Trypophloeus Striatulus (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) in Feltleaf Willow in Interior Alaska

    POPULATION ECOLOGY Biology of Trypophloeus striatulus (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) in Feltleaf Willow in Interior Alaska MALCOLM M. FURNISS 1825 Orchard Ave., Moscow, ID 83843 Environ. Entomol. 33(1): 21Ð27 (2004) Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/ee/article/33/1/21/477876 by guest on 25 September 2021 ABSTRACT The biology of the willow bark beetle, Trypophloeus striatulus (Mannerheim) was studied in its primary host, Salix alaxensis (Andersson) Coville, at 28 locations in Alaska, and in the laboratory. Most broods transformed to adults before fall, emerged, and excavated solitary chambers in the bark, where they passed over-winter before becoming sexually mature in spring. Emerged adults walked on the bark for protracted periods, lacking any disposition to ßy. This behavior contributes to reinfesting the stem, downward for several generations, thereby conserving a susceptible host (limited resource). A fungus, Cytospora sp., most likely chrysosperma (Person) Fries, was present in stems infested by the beetles. Adults usually chose a lenticel as a site for excavating a chamber, tapping the surface with their antennae, and were possibly attracted there by odor emitted by fungus-infected, underlying tissue. Egg galleries are cavelike. Eggs are exceptionally large relative to the adult, and are laid in a cluster averaging Ϸ20 per female. Larvae pass through three instars, feeding en masse in the Þrst instar, then becoming solitary. Their mines contain almost entirely excrement, lacking fragments of phloem common in galleries of most bark beetles. Pupation occurs in a cell, excavated by the larva, which usually etches the xylem. A bird preys on over-wintering larvae; otherwise the beetle has few natural enemies.
