In reality, this meeting amounted to three separate meetings. The idea behind the conference was to show the natural beauty of the American West to the attendees, while providing them with a flavor of the culture that characterizes this unique part of the world. I am sure the memories of dragons dancing in San Francisco‘s Chinatown, as well as riding in a cart in a hidden valley in the Sierra Nevada, or singing on the shores of an Oregon lake will be indelible memories for everybody. In these days of incredibly costly meetings, I hope everybody appreciated how affordable the meeting was, especially considering the quality of the lodging and food provided. I hope future organizers will keep in mind that, while it is easy to organize a meeting by charging a lot of money, it is much more of service to the scientific community to organize the same meeting at a lower cost for the attendees. Last year‘s meeting was also extremely rich from a scientific perspective, and these proceedings are a condensed version of the science that was presented there. One interesting novel addition to the standard format of these meetings was that of the ―Short Talks‖; these talks made up of a maximum of 7 slides and designed to last less than 5 minutes were a great idea and allowed for the communication of short or new projects. The meeting would have never been possible without funding provided by the Koret Foundation of San Francisco and by the United States Forest Service, and without all of the administrative work offered for free by the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management at U.C. Berkeley. Amy Smith and Doug Schmidt from U.C. Berkeley made the meeting possible through their complete dedication before and during the Conference. William Woodruff, Pete Angwin, John Pronos, David Rizzo, Garey Slaughter, Patricia Maloney, Everett Hansen, Ellen and Don Goheen were instrumental for the field trips in California and Oregon. The most heartfelt ―Thank you!― to all of them both from Greg Filip and myself. Finally, thanks to Rachel Linzer, who made the publication of these proceedings possible. A scientific conference is not made up by the studies presented, but by the people who participated. I am grateful to all the attendees for their individual contributions, and I hope to see them all at the 13th Root and Butt Rot meeting in Italy.

  • Detection and Quantification of Leptographium Wageneri, The
    1798 Detection and quantification of Leptographium wageneri, the cause of black-stain root disease, from bark beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) in Northern California using regular and real-time PCR Wolfgang Schweigkofler, William J. Otrosina, Sheri L. Smith, Daniel R. Cluck, Kevin Maeda, Kabir G. Peay, and Matteo Garbelotto Abstract: Black-stain root disease is a threat to conifer forests in western North America. The disease is caused by the ophiostomatoid fungus Leptographium wageneri (W.B. Kendr.) M.J. Wingf., which is associated with a number of bark beetle (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) and weevil species (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). We developed a polymerase chain reac- tion test to identify and quantify fungal DNA directly from insects. Leptographium wageneri DNA was detected on 142 of 384 bark beetle samples (37%) collected in Lassen National Forest, in northeastern California, during the years 2001 and 2002. Hylastes macer (LeConte) was the bark beetle species from which Leptographium DNA was amplified most regularly (2001: 63.4%, 2002: 75.0% of samples). Lower insect–fungus association rates were found for Hylurgops porosus (LeConte), Hylurgops subcostulatus (Mannerheim), Hylastes gracilis (LeConte), Hylastes longicollis (Swaine), Dendroctonus valens (LeConte), and Ips pini (Say). The spore load per beetle ranged from 0 to over1×105 spores, with only a few beetles carrying more than1×103 spores. The technique permits the processing of a large number of samples synchronously, as required for epidemiological studies, to study infection rates in bark beetle populations and to identify potential insect vectors. Résumé : Le noircissement des racines est une maladie qui menace les forêts de l’ouest de l’Amérique du Nord.

  • “Can You Hear Me?” Investigating the Acoustic Communication Signals and Receptor Organs of Bark Beetles
    “Can you hear me?” Investigating the acoustic communication signals and receptor organs of bark beetles by András Dobai A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science In Biology Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2017 András Dobai Abstract Many bark beetle (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) species have been documented to produce acoustic signals, yet our knowledge of their acoustic ecology is limited. In this thesis, three aspects of bark beetle acoustic communication were examined: the distribution of sound production in the subfamily based on the most recent literature; the characteristics of signals and the possibility of context dependent signalling using a model species: Ips pini; and the acoustic reception of bark beetles through neurophysiological studies on Dendroctonus valens. It was found that currently there are 107 species known to stridulate using a wide diversity of mechanisms for stridulation. Ips pini was shown to exhibit variation in certain chirp characteristics, including the duration and amplitude modulation, between behavioural contexts. Neurophysiological recordings were conducted on several body regions, and vibratory responses were reported in the metathoracic leg and the antennae. ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Jayne Yack for accepting me as Master’s student, guiding me through the past two years, and for showing endless support and giving constructive feedback on my work.

    COMMUNITY AND ECOSYSTEM ECOLOGY Biodiversity of Coleoptera and the Importance of Habitat Structural Features in a Sierra Nevada Mixed-conifer Forest 1 2 KYLE O. APIGIAN, DONALD L. DAHLSTEN, AND SCOTT L. STEPHENS Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management, 137 Mulford Hall, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720Ð3114 Environ. Entomol. 35(4): 964Ð975 (2006) ABSTRACT Beetle biodiversity, particularly of leaf litter fauna, in the Sierran mixed-conifer eco- system is poorly understood. This is a critical gap in our knowledge of this important group in one of the most heavily managed forest ecosystems in California. We used pitfall trapping to sample the litter beetles in a forest with a history of diverse management. We identiÞed 287 species of beetles from our samples. Rarefaction curves and nonparametric richness extrapolations indicated that, despite intensive sampling, we undersampled total beetle richness by 32Ð63 species. We calculated alpha and beta diversity at two scales within our study area and found high heterogeneity between beetle assemblages at small spatial scales. A nonmetric multidimensional scaling ordination revealed a community that was not predictably structured and that showed only weak correlations with our measured habitat variables. These data show that Sierran mixed conifer forests harbor a diverse litter beetle fauna that is heterogeneous across small spatial scales. Managers should consider the impacts that forestry practices may have on this diverse leaf litter fauna and carefully consider results from experimental studies before applying stand-level treatments. KEY WORDS Coleoptera, pitfall trapping, leaf litter beetles, Sierra Nevada The maintenance of high biodiversity is a goal shared Sierras is available for timber harvesting, whereas only by many conservationists and managers, either be- 8% is formally designated for conservation (Davis cause of the increased productivity and ecosystem and Stoms 1996).

    SCIENTIFIC OPINION ADOPTED: 20 November 2019 doi: 10.2903/j.efsa.2020.5933 List of non-EU Scolytinae of coniferous hosts EFSA Panel on Plant Health (PLH), Claude Bragard, Katharina Dehnen-Schmutz, Francesco Di Serio, Paolo Gonthier, Marie-Agnes Jacques, Josep Anton Jaques Miret, Annemarie Fejer Justesen, Alan MacLeod, Christer Sven Magnusson, Juan A. Navas-Cortes, Stephen Parnell, Roel Potting, Philippe Lucien Reignault, Hans-Hermann Thulke, Wopke van der Werf, Antonio Vicent Civera, Jonathan Yuen, Lucia Zappala, Jean-Claude Gregoire, Franz Streissl, Virag Kertesz and Panagiotis Milonas Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Plant Health prepared a list of non-EU Scolytinae spp. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) affecting coniferous hosts. A literature review and search of databases, conducted up to January 2019, identified 804 Scolytinae species and subspecies of coniferous hosts. These Scolytinae were assigned to two categories (a) 705 non-EU species and subspecies, known to occur only outside the EU or having only limited presence in the EU, and (b) 99 species and subspecies with substantial presence in the EU (i.e. they are only reported so far from the EU or known to occur or be widespread in some Member States or reported in more than three EU MS). Scolytinae of category (b) will be excluded from further categorisation efforts. The main knowledge gaps and uncertainties of this listing concern (i) the status of species that are present in only a few MS and (ii) the status of the species that are present only at boundaries of the EU territory. The non-EU Scolytinae will be categorised by the Panel in a separate opinion.
