These data highlight the continued range expansion of exotic species across North America. These new records also indicate that our collective knowledge of Pacific Northwest arthropod biodiversity and biogeography is underdeveloped, even for a relatively well known and species-poor group of insects.

  • Pupation Site Selection and Enemy Avoidance in the Introduced Pine Sawfly (Diprion Similis)
    2017 Winter Ecology:Northeastern Insights from Naturalist Biology and History Vol. 24, Special Issue 7 2017 N.T.Northeastern Wheelwright, Naturalist et al. 24(Special Issue 7):B19–B31 Pupation Site Selection and Enemy Avoidance in the Introduced Pine Sawfly (Diprion similis) Nathaniel T. Wheelwright1,*, Liam U. Taylor1, Benjamin M. West1, Erin R. Voss1, Sabine Y. Berzins1, Andrew R. Villeneuve1, Hannah R. LeBlanc1, Victor B. Leos1, Samuel J. Mayne1, Sarah A. McCarthy1, Shan J. Nagar1, and Jenna S. Watling1 Abstract - Insects that pupate on the branches of trees and shrubs suffer mortality from both predators and parasitic wasps. Which natural enemy represents the greater threat and there- fore the stronger selection force on pupation site selection depends upon the time of year, the relative abundance of predators versus parasitoids, and the availability of alternative prey or hosts. Predation by foraging birds and mammals is likely to occur most commonly in winter when leaves have fallen, cocoons are conspicuous, and higher quality prey are scarcer. Inaccessibility and crypsis of pupation sites may provide protection from visu- ally hunting predators. Attacks by parasitic wasps, which take place only during warmer months, may not be as easily avoided by inaccessibility or crypsis. We studied the patterns and mortality risks of pupation site selection in Diprion similis (Hymenoptera: Diprionidae; Introduced Pine Sawfly). Cocoons that were smaller than average and situated in relatively inaccessible sites (thinner branches, underside of branches) were less likely to be attacked by predators; background matching in terms of branch size proved not to improve survival. In contrast, the probability that a cocoon would be attacked by parasitic wasps (primarily Monodontomerus dentipes; Hymenoptera: Torymidae) was unaffected by location along branches, indicating that parasitoids are more difficult to escape through pupation site selection.

  • Picea Mariana)
    176 - PART 1. CONSENSUS DOCUMENTS ON BIOLOGY OF TREES Section 6. Black spruce (Picea mariana) 1. Taxonomy and use 1.1. Taxonomy Black spruce [Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.], known by many alternate common names including bog spruce, swamp spruce, Canadian spruce, eastern spruce, and shortleaf black spruce (Viereck and Johnston, 1990; Alden, 1997), is one of the most common and important boreal species native to North America, especially in eastern Canada. Black spruce is one of about 40 species in the genus Picea of the family Pinaceae, all of which are found in cooler portions of the northern hemisphere (Farrar, 1995). Ten spruce species are native to North America (Weng and Jackson, 2000). There is no consensus among taxonomists regarding subdivision of the genus, but Picea is often described as having three sections (Eupicea, also known as Picea or Morinda; Castica; and Omorika), with black spruce generally placed among the Eupicea (Dallimore and Jackson, 1948; Alden, 1987). Mikkola (1969) suggested dividing the genus into only two sections, Abies and Omorika. Fowler (1983) recommended adopting Mikkola’s classification, but splitting the section Omorika into two subsections, Omorikoides and Glaucoides, and placing black spruce into the former subsection based upon species crossability. Other examples of taxonomic classification have also been proposed for the genus (e.g., see Weng and Jackson, 2000). Black spruce is closely related to red spruce (P. rubens Sarg.), a sympatric species with which it is known to naturally hybridise (Perron and Bousquet, 1997). It is also considered to be closely related to the relict European species Serbian spruce (P.
