Flight Period of the Broad-Leaved Ambrosia Beetle Trypodendron Domesticum L Petercord: Flight period of the broad-leaved Ambrosia beetle Trypodendron domesticum L. in Luxembourg and Rhineland-Palatinate between 2002 and 2005 FLIGHT PERIOD OF THE BROAD-LEAVED AMBROSIA BEETLE TRYPODENDRON DOMESTICUM L. IN LUXEMBOURG AND RHINELAND-PALATINATE BETWEEN 2002 AND 2005. Ralf Petercord Forstliche Versuchs- und Forschungsanstalt Baden-Württemberg, Wonnhaldestraße 4, D-79100 Freiburg, Germany Abstract The flight period of Trypodendron domesticum L. (Coleoptera, Scolytidae) was studied by exposing ethanol and pheromone baited traps in 32 beech stands in Luxembourg and Rhineland-Palatinate between 2002 and 2005. In each year under study the flight period shows three maximums for swarming activity in the middle/end of March, middle of April/beginning of May, and end of May/beginning of June. The first two maximums characterise the beginning of the flight period and its continuation following bad weather conditions. The third maximum of swarming cannot be explained by the present knowledge about the alteration of generations of Trypodendron domesticum L.. The possibility of a second generation is discussed. Keywords: wood boring insect, Xyloterus domesticus, second generation, alteration of generations, flight activity 1. Introduction Since the spring of 2001 the infestation of living beech (full foliaged, with intact cambium) by the wood boring, xylomycetophagous broad-leaved ambrosia beetle (Trypodendron (syn. Xyloterus) domesticum L.) is observed in Belgium, Luxembourg and Rhineland-Palatinate (Eisenbarth et al. 2001). This attack by T. domesticum, known as a secondary invader, is a fundamentally new type of damaged, which has not been observed so far. The successful infestation of vital beeches by ambrosia beetles would be a serious danger for the forestry in Central European beech stands and the beech dominated ecological systems. 2. Materials and methods Monitoring of the flight activity of Trypodendron domesticum was done in 32 differently strongly damaged beech stands in Luxembourg and Rhineland-Palatinate (Fig. 1) in the period 2002 until 2005. Five pheromone-baited traps (denat. Ethanol/ Lineatin) were set up in each beech stand. The five traps were arranged in form of a cross with an edge length of 100 m oriented at the main directions (N, E, S, W) and with one trap in the center (C) of the cross.

Objectives a. Monitoring of the flight period and the population dynamics of the broad-leaved ambrosia beetle Trypodendron domesticum L. b. Estimation of the exposure of beech stands to a possible infestation of living trees. c. Development of preventive forest protection strategies to conserve beech forests. Fig. 1: Geographical situation of the trap locations in the research area (Blue points). North and/or northwest the red line as well as red circled are regions with strong occurrence of the beech bark disease. 4. Results The flight period of Trypodendron domesticum L. begins at an air temperature of 9.5° C depending on the weather conditions in early spring and extends into July. In 2004 beetle flight was observed in the first week of February already. However the flight activity was interrupted by a renewed beginning of winter lasting until the middle of March. At the beginning of each of the four capture periods exclusively Trypodendron domesticum have been caught. For each year the capture results clearly varies between the different forests stands. However a common trend for the three regions Luxembourg, western Hunsrück (district Trier- Saarburg) and the western Eifel (district Bitburg- Prüm) can be discovered (Fig. 2). After a distinct decline in the capture results from 2002 to 2003, there was a renewed increase in 2004. This was more distinct in the Hunsrück and in the Eifel than in Luxembourg. 2005 a decrease of the capture results has been observed in all three regions. Through all the years of research, the flight has been characterized by three peaks of the swarming activity (Fig. 3). The first peak occurred mid/end of March and indicates the beginning of the flight period. The second peak appeared from mid of April to beginning of May and was noticeably lower. The third peak was on a higher magnitude than the second one and has been observed regularly from end of May to beginning of June, approximately ten weeks after the first maximum.

The three peaks of swarming were observed at all trap locations, however within the four year period they appeared on different levels. Three groups of trap locations can be differentiated. One group is characterised by an early maximum of flight activity, 50% of the beetles flew before the end of March (Typ I). In another group the beetles flew disticntably later, only 50% had flown at the end of May (Typ III). In a third group of trap locations (Typ II) the proportions of beetles with an early maximum of flight activity and the ones with a late maximum of flight activity were equal (Fig. 4).

Discussion and conclusion The results of the monitoring prove that Trypodendron domesticum L. is qualified to perform a distinct population change just like bark-breeding beetles. In all three regions of the research area the separate populations changed within a year from retrogradation into a renewed progradation. For Central Europe Trypodendron domesticum L. is described in the literature as univoltine species (Schwenke 1974, Schwerdtfeger 1981). This assessment is based primarily on the assumption of an analogy to the biology of Trypodendron lineatum Oliv. (Schwerdtfeger, 1963). The progression of the flight activity of Trypodendron domesticum L. observed within the period 2002 to 2005, characterise by an unexpectedly high early summer maximum at the end of May/at the beginning of June, cannot be explained by the present knowledge about the alteration of generations of Trypodendtron domesticum L.. At several trap locations the proportion of beetles with a late maximum of flight activity was more than 50% of all captured beetles. This can not be explained by the existence of subsequent broods and/or the swarming of latecomers.The first two peaks characterise the beginning of the flight period and its continuation following bad weather conditions. The third swarming peak can not be explained with unfavourable weather conditions. In fact only two explanations are possible for the early summer maximum. The occurrence of a second generation or the occurrence of different swarming types (early and late beetle flight) within the population. The existence of a second generation has been demonstrated by a study of Eichhorn and Graf (1974). In a breeding image analysis of Trypodendron domesticum L. in 1968 in the Soonwald (Hunsrück) a second generation of beetles was found. An appropriate proof could not be demonstrated in the available study. Genetic investigations, which could prove the occurrence of different swarming types, are yet to be carried out.

    ENTOMOLOGISTS OF SASKATCHEWAN SECOND EDITION Meghan Vankosky, Martin Erlandson, and Cedric Gillott, editors 2019 Foreword and Acknowledgements In 2017, Owen Olfert gave me a copy of Entomologists of Saskatchewan. Being new to the entomology community in Saskatchewan at the time, I read it with interest and especially enjoyed seeing pictures of my new colleagues from almost 30 years earlier. Paul W. Riegert did an amazing job capturing the history of entomological expertise in Saskatchewan in the 1990 edition of Entomologists of Saskatchewan. Seeing value in historical records and knowledge, I suggested that the book be updated at the December 2017 meeting of the Entomological Society of Saskatchewan (ESS). I also ended up inadvertently volunteering myself for the task, with the generous assistance of Martin Erlandson and Cedric Gillott. The process of updating a nearly 30 year-old document of this nature was challenging. Entomologists have retired and moved away from Saskatchewan, and in one case, retired and moved TO Saskatchewan. Entomologists included in the 1990 edition have sadly passed away or have slipped out of touch. Although there has been a loss of entomological expertise in Saskatchewan, there has also been renewal in the form of newly graduated students, newly identified professionals and amateurs, and in the immigration of new professional entomologists. Renewal of this nature is indicative of the ongoing importance of entomological knowledge, basic and applied. Some of the new entomologists are studying bee taxonomy and biology at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum, aquatic entomology at the Water Security Agency, and agricultural entomology at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.

We studied wood excavation by scolytid and cerambycid beetles in decomposing boles of four conifer species during the first two years on the ground in western Oregon. Colonization density and gallery volumes were measured in experi- mental boles (0.5 m diameter x 5 m length) of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco), western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.), Pacific silver fir (Abies amabilis (Dougl.) Forbes), and western red cedar ( Thuja plicata Donn). Ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) colonized boles only during the 1st year and were essentially restricted to Douglas-fir and western hemlock (removing 0.2% of the sapwood volume). Bark beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) colonized boles only in the 1st year, primarily in Douglas-fir and Pacific silver fir (removing 7-8% of the phloem surface area). Wood borers (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) excavated an additional 2.3% of the phloem surface area of Pacific silver fir in the 1st year and continued to excavate all species except Douglas-fir during the 2nd year.

The study area was classified into four stand types (conifer-dominated, mixed, deciduous-dominated, and deciduous-dominated with conifer understory) each of which was treated with four harvest intensities (unharvested, and 50%, 80%, and 90% harvested) and replicated three times each. The abundance of T. lineatum was measured using baited funnel traps. In the year prior to harvest, T. lineatum was most abundant in conifer-dominated stands, although the measured abundance of freshly dead conifers (their breeding habitat) did not differ from mixed stands. In the first and second summers after harvest, T. lineatum abundance varied with both stand type (least in deciduous-dominated stands) and harvest level (least in unharvested stands). In particular, abundance increased exponentially with the percent of spruce, Picea spp., in the canopy and the number of spruce stumps in the stand. These results suggest that T. lineatum search more in areas with more actual (stumps) or potential (live spruce) habitat, consistent with the resource concentration hypothesis.

  • Trypodendron Edited
    Distinguishing native and non-indigenous Trypodendron species in surveillance trap captures L.M. Humble Natural Resources Canada, Canadian Forest Service 506 West Burnside Road, Victoira, British Columbia, Canada V8Z 1M5 Humble (2001) reported the presence of Trypodendron domesticum (L.) in southwest British Columbia. To date, it has not been reported from any other jurisdiction in North America. This may be in part due to the timing of surveillance activities, T. domesticum is in flight more than 8 weeks before any native Trypodendron species in British Columbia (Humble unpublished data). The most effective lure for detection of Trypodendron species is lineatin. However, use of lineatin in surveillance trapping results in significant captures of native species, especially Trypodendron lineatum. Upwards of 35,000 individuals of that species have been captured in a single 12 funnel lindgren trap over a 6 month trapping season in southwestern British Columbia (Humble, unpublished data). These high numbers present a significant challenge for screeners attempting to recognize non-indigenous species of Trypodendron in such trap captures. Scanning electron microscope and color images of T. domesticum and selected native Trypodendron species are provided to allow the screening of trap captures for the presence of T. domesticum. All of the species of Trypodendron native to North America have an evenly rounded oval antennal club (Wood 1982). (e.g. Fig. 1 a, b; Fig. 4 ) while the only non-indigenous species, T. domesticum, has a quadrate antennal club (Fig. 1 c, d). This character is easily visible when sorting specimens captured in liquid, as collected specimens all tend to be laying on their sides.

  • Observations on the Biology of Dryocoetes Betulae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in Paper Birch in Northern Idaho
    POPULATION ECOLOGY Observations on the Biology of Dryocoetes betulae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in Paper Birch in Northern Idaho 1 2 MALCOLM M. FURNISS AND SANDRA J. KEGLEY Environ. Entomol. 35(4): 907Ð911 (2006) ABSTRACT We describe the biology and life stages of the birch bark beetle, Dryocoetes betulae Hopkins, and report its second known occurrence in Idaho. One annual generation was observed with broods overwintering as larvae and sexually immature adults. The species is polygamous with a ratio of 1.8 females per male. Two females (rarely three) joined a male after he entered the bark, and each female created a 3- to 4-cm-long egg gallery with short lateral spurs. Eggs were laid in niches along each side of the main gallery. Larvae have three instars. No hymenopterous parasitoid was found; however, two apparent predators, Rhizophagus dimidiatus Mannerheim, and a clerid, Thanasimus undatulus (Say), were present in galleries. Two mites, Histiostoma sp. and Proctolaelaps n. sp., also occurred in galleries, and a nematode of the Order Rhabditida occurred in the midgut of larvae and adult D. betulae. An ambrosia beetle, Trypodendron betulae Swaine, also infested the basal stems apart from D. betulae. Stems of infested trees were infected with a root rot fungus, Armillaria ostoyae (Romagnesi) Herink. Several generations of beetles infested the basal portion of stems of either decadent or recently dead paper birch. This behavior preserves a scarce host resource and is enhanced by a relatively low fecundity and ability to establish new galleries without ßight dispersal.

A Case Study of the Mediterranean Pine Engraver, Orthotomicus erosus1 Steven J. Seybold and Marla Downing25 Abstract Recently reported, and likely to threaten the health of standing trees in the urban and peri-urban forests of the West, are at least five new subcortical insect/pathogen complexes [Agrilus coxalis Waterhouse (Buprestidae) and four species of Scolytidae: Orthotomicus (Ips) erosus (Wollaston), Hylurgus lignipderda F., Scolytus schevyrewi Semenov, and Pityophthorus juglandis Blackman, which vectors the invasive fungus, Geosmithia sp.]. Through the Forest Insect and Disease Leaflet and Pest Alert series and other extension-type publications, personnel from USDA Forest Service Research and Development (R&D) have worked closely with USDA Forest Service Forest Health Protection (FHP) specialists in the western regions to disseminate information to the public on the distribution, identification, biology, and potential impact of these new pests to western U.S. forests. Because the Mediterranean pine engraver, O. erosus, has the most potential to have a strong impact on conifers in western U.S. forests and elsewhere in North America, we focus on this species as a case study for the development of a species-specific national risk map (=Potential Susceptibility map) to illustrate how USDA Forest Service R&D and USDA Forest Service FHP [in this case the Forest Health Technology Enterprise Team (FHTET)], can work cooperatively to address an issue of pressing national concern.
