EMERGENT RESULTS FROM THE WOOD COMPATIBILITY INITIATIVE Richard W. Haynes1, Robert A. Monserud2, and Adelaide Johnson3 ABSTRACT The Wood Compatibility Initiative (WCI) was stimulated by the public debate over forest management, which often por- trayed management choices as involving tradeoffs between biophysical and socioeconomic components of ecosystems. Its purpose is to expand information on the options that may increase the compatibility between wood production and other societal values derived from forestlands. The WCI addresses two aspects of the compatibility issue. First, how can various forest management practices be related to an array of associated goods and services? Second, how can the effects of differ- ent approaches to forest management be derived across relatively large and complex ecosystems? The goal is to enable a richer public dialogue about the ability of land management options to produce timber, nontimber forest products, fish, and wildlife. KEY WORDS: Forest management, forest production, tradeoffs, compatibility. INTRODUCTION Considered in aggregate at the regional scale, compatible wood production increases the overall level of some forest The Pacific Northwest (PNW) Research Station has a value(s) without decreasing others. The goal is to remove 75-year tradition of discovery in forest and range research forest management from the divisive arena of either or (see Duncan 2000 for details). Since 1998, scientists at the choices. PNW Research Station have been engaged in an effort called the Wood Compatibility Initiative (WCI) to develop The WCI addresses two aspects of the compatibility a greater understanding of potential compatibility among issue.

NOTES ON THE LIFE CYCLE OF THE NANTUCKET TIP MOTH RHYACIONIA FRUSTRANA COMST. IN SOUTHEASTERN LOUISIANAY By Philip C. Wakeley, Associate Silviculturist Southern Forest Experiment Station The Nantucket tip moth (RhYacionia frustrana Comst.) is a small tor­ tricid moth occurring generally throughout the pine forests of North America. The larvae are responsible for an immense amount of dam~ge to small pines, both in natural reproduction and in planted stands OJ .9 In 1915, W.R. Mattoon, of the United States Forest Service, described the conspicuous damage of the Nantucket tip moth on shortleaf pine (Pinus e'china.ta) in the South (2), but somewhat underrated the potentialities of the insect for mischief.

  • Pheromone-Based Disruption of Eucosma Sonomana and Rhyacionia Zozana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) Using Aerially Applied Microencapsulated Pheromone1
    361 Pheromone-based disruption of Eucosma sonomana and Rhyacionia zozana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) using aerially applied microencapsulated pheromone1 Nancy E. Gillette, John D. Stein, Donald R. Owen, Jeffrey N. Webster, and Sylvia R. Mori Abstract: Two aerial applications of microencapsulated pheromone were conducted on five 20.2 ha plots to disrupt western pine shoot borer (Eucosma sonomana Kearfott) and ponderosa pine tip moth (Rhyacionia zozana (Kearfott); Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) orientation to pheromones and oviposition in ponderosa pine plantations in 2002 and 2004. The first application was made at 29.6 g active ingredient (AI)/ha, and the second at 59.3 g AI/ha. Baited sentinel traps were used to assess disruption of orientation by both moth species toward pheromones, and E. sonomana infes- tation levels were tallied from 2001 to 2004. Treatments disrupted orientation by both species for several weeks, with the first lasting 35 days and the second for 75 days. Both applications reduced infestation by E. sonomana,but the lower application rate provided greater absolute reduction, perhaps because prior infestation levels were higher in 2002 than in 2004. Infestations in treated plots were reduced by two-thirds in both years, suggesting that while increas- ing the application rate may prolong disruption, it may not provide greater proportional efficacy in terms of tree pro- tection. The incidence of infestations even in plots with complete disruption suggests that treatments missed some early emerging females or that mated females immigrated into treated plots; thus operational testing should be timed earlier in the season and should comprise much larger plots. In both years, moths emerged earlier than reported pre- viously, indicating that disruption programs should account for warmer climates in timing of applications.

  • Nantucket Pine Tip Moth, Rhyacionia Frustrana, Lures and Traps: What Is the Optimum Combination?
    NANTUCKET PINE TIP MOTH, RHYACIONIA FRUSTRANA, LURES AND TRAPS: WHAT IS THE OPTIMUM COMBINATION? Gary L. DeBarr, J. Wayne Brewer, R. Scott Cameron and C. Wayne Berisford' Abstract--Pheromone traps are used to monitor flight activity of male Nantucket pine tip moths, Rhyacionia frustrana (Comstock), to initialize spray timing models, determine activity periods, or detect population trends. However, a standard- ized trapping procedure has not been developed. The relative efficacies of six types of lures and eight commercial phero- mone traps were compared in field tests in Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and Virginia. Additional factors, including trap color, lure longevity and loading rates and ratios were also tested. These tests demonstrate that lures and1 or traps have a pronounced effect on male moth catches. The Pherocon 1Cwing trap was the most effective. White traps were slightly better than colored traps. Pherocon 1C@wing traps baited with commercial Scent@, EcogenQor Tr6ckQ lures caught the greatest numbers of moths. INTRODUCTION also lower during later tip moth generations even though populations are high (Asaro and Berisford 2001 a). Female NPTM Sex Pheromones and Male Response The Pheromones Larvae of the Nantucket pine tip moth (NPTM), Rhyacionia NPTM females produce a two-component sex pheromone frustrana (Comstock), bore into and kill the shoots of loblolly (Berisford and Brady 1973) and their pheromone glands pine, Pinus taeda L.(Yates 1960).

GARRISON Dean of Agriculture and Director of Agricultural Experiment Station Biological Sciences and Agricultural Research SUMMARY A statewide survey of the parasites of the Nantucket pine tip moth, Rhyacionia frustrana ( Comstock), was made by collecting infested pine tips from 23 locations in South Carolina over a 2-year period. Parasites were allowed to emerge in specially designed cages, were identified, and recorded. A total of 37 species of para­ sites was recovered, all hymenopterous except one dipterous species. Of these, the iclmeumonid, Campoplex frustranac Cushman, was the most abundant with the tachinid, Lixophaga mcdiocris Aldrich, following closely in numbers. Parasitism by locations was shown and comparative parasitism by the two main parasites was listed. It was shown that Campoplex frustrmwc was the most abundant parasite in the Piedmont region and that Lixophaga mcdiocris was the most prevalent in the Coastal Plain region. No definite pattern of dominance could be shown in the Sandhills.

  • Genetic Diversity in Longleaf Pine (Pinus Palustris): Influence of Historical and Prehistorical Events
    1135 Genetic diversity in longleaf pine (Pinus palustris): influence of historical and prehistorical events R.C. Schmidtling and V. Hipkins Abstract: Genetic diversity of allozymes at 24 loci was studied in 23 populations of longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.), including three seed orchard populations and an old-growth stand. Overall, the mean number of alleles per polymorphic locus was 2.9, the percentage of polymorphic loci was 92%, and the mean expected heterozygosity was 0.105. These values are comparable with diversity measures found in a similar loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) study. Diversity measures of the seed orchard sources and the old-growth stand were similar to those in the other natural seed sources. F statistics indicate very little inbreeding overall (FIS = –0.002) and low differentiation among populations (FST = 0.041). All measures of genetic diversity were significantly related to longitude; western sources tended to have more allozyme diversity. Since growth or survival are not related to longitude, and no important climatic variables are related to longitude within the natural range of longleaf, it is proposed that the east–west variation in longleaf pine is a result of migration from a single refugium in the west (south Texas or northeastern Mexico) after the Pleistocene. Résumé : Les auteurs ont étudié la diversité génétique d’alloenzymes observée pour 24 loci chez 23 populations de pin à longues feuilles (Pinus palustris Mill.), dont trois populations de verger à graines et une vieille forêt. Pour l’ensemble de l’étude, le nombre moyen d’allèles par locus polymorphe, le pourcentage de loci polymorphes et l’hétérozygotie moyenne espérée affichaient des valeurs respectives de 2,9, 92% et 0,105.

Fettig – Postdoctoral Research Associate; Mark J. Dalusky – Research Coordinator; and C. Wayne Berisford – Professor of Entomology with the Department of Entomology; University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30605 Abstract The Nantucket pine tip moth, Rhyacionia frustrana (Comstock) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), is a common pest of Christmas tree and pine plantations throughout much of the eastern U.S. As silvicultural practices intensify, insecticide applications are increasingly used to protect trees from the growth and form losses caused by larval feeding. The thermal requirements for the Nantucket pine tip moth to complete a generation were obtained from published data and used along with historical temperature data to produce maps indicating the number of annual generations predicted to occur throughout seven southeastern states. Spray timing prediction values were also obtained from published data and used to predict optimal spray periods based on 5-day increments for each location where either three or four generations occurred. Approximately 80% of the predicted optimal spray periods were within one optimal spray period of previously field-determined spray dates. Land managers who use contact insecticides, such as synthetic pyrethroids, may find the predicted optimal spray periods useful in optimizing spray effectiveness.
