Patterns of Woodboring Beetle Activity Following Fires and Bark Beetle Outbreaks in Montane Forests of California, USA Chris Ray1* , Daniel R
Ray et al. Fire Ecology (2019) 15:21 Fire Ecology https://doi.org/10.1186/s42408-019-0040-1 ORIGINAL RESEARCH Open Access Patterns of woodboring beetle activity following fires and bark beetle outbreaks in montane forests of California, USA Chris Ray1* , Daniel R. Cluck2, Robert L. Wilkerson1, Rodney B. Siegel1, Angela M. White3, Gina L. Tarbill3, Sarah C. Sawyer4 and Christine A. Howell5 Abstract Background: Increasingly frequent and severe drought in the western United States has contributed to more frequent and severe wildfires, longer fire seasons, and more frequent bark beetle outbreaks that kill large numbers of trees. Climate change is expected to perpetuate these trends, especially in montane ecosystems, calling for improved strategies for managing Western forests and conserving the wildlife that they support. Woodboring beetles (e.g., Buprestidae and Cerambycidae) colonize dead and weakened trees and speed succession of habitats altered by fire or bark beetles, while serving as prey for some early-seral habitat specialists, including several woodpecker species. To understand how these ecologically important beetles respond to different sources of tree mortality, we sampled woodborers in 16 sites affected by wildfire or bark beetle outbreak in the previous one to eight years. Study sites were located in the Sierra Nevada, Modoc Plateau, Warner Mountains, and southern Cascades of California, USA. We used generalized linear mixed models to evaluate hypotheses concerning the response of woodboring beetles to disturbance type, severity, and timing; forest stand composition and structure; and tree characteristics. Results: Woodborer activity was often similar in burned and bark beetle outbreak sites, tempered by localized responses to bark beetle activity, burn severity, tree characteristics, and apparent response to ignition date. -
Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)
J Insect Behav (2012) 25:569–577 DOI 10.1007/s10905-012-9321-0 Role of Volatile Semiochemicals in the Host and Mate Location Behavior of Mallodon dasystomus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) Matthew A. Paschen & Nathan M. Schiff & Matthew D. Ginzel Revised: 18 January 2012 /Accepted: 1 March 2012 / Published online: 16 March 2012 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2012 Abstract Little is known of the role semiochemicals play in the mating systems of longhorned beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in the primitive subfamily Prioninae. Mallodon dasystomus (Say), the hardwood stump borer, is a widely distributed prionine native to the southern US. Preferred hosts of M. dasystomus include oak, sweetgum, sugarberry and hackberry; although they also colonize a variety of other hardwoods. Here, we study the mate location behavior of M. dasystomus by testing the hypotheses that the sexes are mutually attracted to volatiles emanating from the larval host and that females release a volatile pheromone that is attractive to males alone. In a Y-tube olfactometer, male and female M. dasystomus responded to volatiles from host material (i.e., sweetgum and sugarberry). However, only males responded to females in the olfactometer, suggesting that females release a volatile sex pheromone. In choice experiments conducted in a greenhouse, we determined that both males and females prefer host over non-host material. In further bioassays in the greenhouse, males chose host material containing a live female over that containing a live male or host material alone. These findings are further evidence of the critical role host volatiles and pheromones play in mating systems of longhorned beetles. -
House Bill 530 Budget Corrections & Capital Re-Appropriations
House Bill 530 Budget Corrections & Capital Re-appropriations Capital re-appropriations from the 2005 / 2006 capital biennium (and some originating prior). These re-appropriations total roughly $1.7 billion and include projects undertaken after the passage of the last capital bill (HB 16 of the 126 th General Assembly) that have yet to be completed. This total is not out of line with historic reappropriations. A few selected agency totals include: Department of Administrative Services $ 75.9 million School Facilities Commission $ 351.2 million Board of Regents $ 488.3 million Department of Development $ 83.9 million Department of Natural Resources $ 112.5 million Public Works Commission $ 371.7 million Department of Rehab and Corrections $ 105.1 million Cultural Facilities Commission $ 40.9 million New capital appropriations for the 2007 / 2008 capital biennium. As the 126 th General Assembly’s upcoming capital bill likely will not be introduced until the fall, these appropriations are necessary for the orderly continuation of various programs or are of an emergency need. These appropriations total roughly $1.045 billion and include the following: School Facilities Commission School Building Program $ 585,000,000 Public School Building Fund $ 80,000,000 Public Works Commission Public Infrastructure (old authorization) $ 120,000,000 Public Infrastructure revolving fund (old authorization) $ 24,100,000 Clean Ohio Conservation Fund (old authorization) $ 37,500,000 Department of Development Clean Ohio Revitalization and Assistance funds $ -
Statewide Audit of Student Attendance Data and Accountability System
Dave Yost Ohio Auditor of State Statewide Audit of Student Attendance Data and Accountability System February 11, 2013 On the Cover: Engraved phrase from the Thomas J. Moyer Ohio Judicial Center. To the People of the State of Ohio: In response to reports of irregular student attendance, enrollment and withdrawal practices within multiple school districts and a statewide concern over the integrity of the Ohio Department of Education’s (ODE) accountability and reporting system, the Auditor of State’s Office completed an audit in accordance with Ohio Revised Code Section 117.11. This audit includes an objective review and assessment of ODE’s accountability policies, procedures and data, and local school district attendance, enrollment, withdrawal and reporting practices. This final report includes an executive summary, project history, scope, objectives, methodology, and summary of the audit. It also provides the results of the assessments and corrective action recommendations. This engagement is not a financial or performance audit, the objectives of which would be vastly different. Therefore, it is not within the scope of this work to conduct a comprehensive and detailed examination of local school report cards or Ohio’s accountability system. Additionally, certain information included in this report was derived from ODE, Information Technology Center (ITC), and school district Student Information Systems (SIS), which may not be com- pletely accurate. More than 260 AOS auditors were assigned to this engagement over the course of the audit and, as of February 4, 2013, the audit cost was $443,099 and total audit hours were 10,807. This report has been provided to ODE and its results were discussed with the schools selected for testing. -
