  • Assessment of Forest Insect Conditions at Opax Mountain Silviculture Trial
    Assessment of Forest Insect Conditions at Opax Mountain Silviculture Trial DAN MILLER AND LORRAINE MACLAUCHLAN SITUATION OVERVIEW Forest management in British Columbia requires that all resource values are considered along with a variety of appropriate management practices. For the past 100 years, partial-cutting practices were the method of choice when harvesting in Interior Douglas-fir (IDF) zone ecosystems. Along with a high- ly effective fire suppression program and minimal stand tending, these practices have created new and distinct stand structures. These range from low-density stands of uniform height to variable-density, multi-layered stands with patchy distributions of tree clumps and canopy gaps. However, some management practices in IDF ecosystems have created ideal conditions for epidemics of insects and diseases, which are detrimental to both stand and landscape values. The Douglas-fir beetle (Dendroctonus pseudotsugue) is the principal bark beetle attacking mature Douglas-firs (Furniss and Carolin 1980). Timber losses attributed to the Douglas-fir mor- tality caused by this beetle were estimated at 2.4 million m3 from 1956 to 1994. These losses occurred primarily in the province’s Southern Interior (Humphreys 1995). Visual quality values associated with stands and land- scapes can be strongly affected by the removal of the principal cover species, whether by clearcut activities or widespread tree mortality. By eliminating the mature component of Douglas-fir trees within a stand, bark beetles can ultimately affect mule deer by removing their winter cover and browse. The risk of attack by the Douglas-fir beetle is determined by such stand at- tributes as age, species composition, size, and growth rate (B.C.

A new species Falsogastrallus groehni sp. nov. from Baltic amber is described and compared with known amber species Gatrallus zjantaru Zahradník & Háva, 2014. The described species represents first amber species belonging to the genus. A Check-list of Falsogastrallus species is provided. INTRODUCTION The family Ptinidae from Eocene Baltic amber was recently studied and new articles were published Alekseev 2012, 2014, Bukejs et al. 2015, 2017, 2018, Zahradník & Háva 2014, 2017). In the present contribution, a new species is described from material of amber inclusions of Ptinidae kept in the collection of Carsten Gröhn. The genus Falsogastrallus Pic, 1914 currently contains 16 species worldwide, not including amber species (Zahradník 2010). The described species represents the first amber species belonging to the genus. Material AND METHODS The species described here was compared with other species from Baltic amber and/or with a description.
