All uses of pesticides must be registered by appropriate state and federal agencies, or both, before they can be recommended. CAUTION: Pesticides can be injurious to humans, domestic animals, desirable plants, and fish or other wildlife—if they are not handled or applied properly. Use all pesticides selectively and carefully. Follow recommended practices for the disposal of surplus pesticides and pesticide containers. Author Richard A.

Fire and timber harvest are the two major disturbances that alter forest ecosystems in interior Alaska. Both types of disturbance provide habitats that attract wood borers and bark beetles the first year after the disturbance, but populations then decrease to levels below those in undisturbed sites. -

Illustrated Key to the Species of Ips, Orthotomicus, and Pseudips of North America (Or Spines, Spines, and More Spines)
Illustrated Key to the Species of Ips, Orthotomicus, and Pseudips of North America (or spines, spines, and more spines) Version 05-04-11 James R. LaBonte Steven A. Valley Oregon Dept. Agriculture Salem, OR An Illustrated Key to the Ips, Orthotomicus, and Pseudips of North America Skip to Key Introduction and use of this key Along with members of the genus Dendroctonus, bark beetles in the genus Ips are among the most important members of the subfamily Scolytinae in both the ecological and economic senses. Several of the species are well known for widespread damage in conifer forests and plantations. Two related taxa, some members of which have been traditionally placed within Ips, are also treated herein: Orthotomicus Ferrari and Pseudips Cognato. Accurate identification of members of these taxa is important to tracking the distribution and impacts thereof, especially where human actions may be exerting influence, as in the case of introduced invasive species. Despite the justifiable recognition of the flaws and limitations inherent in a dichotomous key, some taxa do not lend themselves to matrix-based identification aids, such as LUCID™. This is particularly so of taxa such as Ips and the other two genera, whose identification is largely dependent upon the assessment of subtle character states, confounded by sexual dimorphism and variability in character expression. As a consequence, this key is arranged in the standard dichotomous manner. The key is largely based upon that used by the late Stephen L. Wood in his landmark 1982 treatment of North and Central American bark beetles. Several characters I have found unreliable or felt were too difficult to assess have been omitted. -

Ophiostomoid Fungi Associated with Bark Beetle Species Colonizing White Spruc in the Great Lakes Region
Invited Paper Beetle - Fungal Interactions Workshop Proceedings of Western International Forest Disease Work Conference September, 1999, Breckenridge, CO Ophiostomoid Fungi Associated with Bark Beetle species Colonizing White Spruc in the Great Lakes Region K.E. Haberkern, K.F. Raffa, Entomology, University of Wisconsin, Madison, and B.L. Illman, USDA Forest Service, Forest Products Laboratory, Madison, WI White spruce plantations in various State and National forests in Northern Minnesota, Northern Wisconsin and the Upper -Peninsula of Michigan were used to collect bark beetles and identify their fungal associates. Trees were felled twice during the summer flight season and left on the forest floor for 6 weeks, in order, to be colonized by beetles (May and July). In the Fall insects were reared from the felled trees and a microbial dilution plating technique was used to isolate Ophiostomiod fungi from live bark beetles (Klepzig 1991). Fungi were also isolated from colonized and uncolonized host tissue. The felled trees were predominantly colonized by nonaggressive, secondary bark beetle species: Crypturgus borealis, Dryocetes affaber, Dryocetes autographus, Ips pini, and Polygraphus rufipennis., Only one aggressive species was found, Dendroctonus rufipennis. There were over 14,500 secondary beetles and only 30 Dendroctonus rufipennis that emerged from the 55 felled white spruce trees. The dispersal time varied among insect species. Dryocetes affaber heavily colonized trees felled in July and only sparsely colonized the trees felled in May (7 to 1). Polygraphus rufipennis was found in greater abundance in the early set oftrees (6 to 1). Overall, halfthe beetle species colonized the early set of felled trees (May) and half colonized the trees felled in July (3 to 3). -

Intégration De La Caractérisation De La Sévérité Du Feu Dans Les Outils D’Aménagement Écosystémique En Forêt Boréale
Intégration de la caractérisation de la sévérité du feu dans les outils d’aménagement écosystémique en forêt boréale Thèse Jonathan Boucher Doctorat en Sciences forestières Philosophiae Doctor (Ph.D.) Québec, Canada © Jonathan Boucher, 2016 Intégration de la caractérisation de la sévérité du feu dans les outils d’aménagement écosystémique en forêt boréale Thèse Jonathan Boucher Sous la direction de : Éric Bauce, directeur de recherche Christian Hébert, codirecteur de recherche Résumé Chaque année en forêt boréale, les feux génèrent de grandes quantités d’arbres morts au Québec. Considérés comme une perte de revenu potentiel pour l'économie, le gouvernement demande qu'une partie de ces arbres soit récupérée. C'est d'ailleurs une pratique connaissant une tendance à la hausse au niveau mondial. Par contre, la récupération de ce bois est régie par diverses contraintes, dont la rentabilité des opérations et le respect des normes d'aménagement forestier écosystémique (AFE) visant la conservation de la biodiversité associée aux forêts brûlées. La mise en application de l'AFE nécessite de connaître l'impact du feu sur la forêt et ce de façon spatialement explicite. Dans cette optique, nous avons d’abord évalué la sévérité du feu sur le terrain dans 60 sites d’études répartis à travers cinq brûlis. Nous avons ensuite évalué le potentiel du « differenced Normalized Burn Ratio » (dNBR), une méthode de télédétection développée par des chercheurs américains pour estimer la sévérité du feu, à offrir une représentation fidèle des conditions de terrain. Les résultats positifs de cette étape nous ont permis de considérer le dNBR pour bonifier les outils d’aménagement utilisés en forêts brûlées. -

JORDAL1,3 & MILOŠ KNÍðEK2 1Museum of Natural History and Archaeology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway. 2Forestry and Game Management Research Institute, Jíloviště - Strnady, Prague, Czech Republic. E-mail: [email protected] 3Corresponding author. Department of Biology, University of Bergen, Bergen, Norway. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Crypturgus subcribrosus Eggers is removed from synonymy under C. cinereus (Herbst) and reinstated as a valid species based on evidence from DNA sequence data and morphological features. Phylogenetic analyses of Elongation Factor 1α and Cytochrome Oxidase I sequences in conjunction with morphological characters revealed a sister relationship between C. subcribrosus and two Nearctic species of Crypturgus, with C. cinereus unrelated to any of these taxa. Type material of C. cinereus has been located and lectotype with paralectotypes are designated. Amended diagnoses that include DNA barcodes are presented for C. subcribrosus and C. cinereus together with an identification key to the Fen- noscandian species of Crypturgus. Key words: Cytochrome Oxidase I, Coleoptera, Crypturgus, Curculionidae, DNA barcodes, Elongation Factor 1α, phy- logeny, Scolytinae Introduction Species of the bark beetle genus Crypturgus Erichson breed in conifers throughout the Holarctic region. -

MARTIN BURRELL, Minister of Agriculture, Ottawa. Ottawa: Printed by J. de L. Tache, Printer to the King's Most Excellent Majesty. Ottawa, February 14, 1917. To the Honourable, The Minister of Agriculture, Ottawa, Ont. Sir, —I have the honour to submit for your approval Entomological Bulletin No. 14 entitled ''Canadian Bark-beetles; Part I: Description of New Species," which has been written by Mr. J. M. Swaine, Assistant Entomologist in charge of Forest Insect Investigations. The Bark-beetles constitute the chief insect enemies of our coniferous forests, and it is impossible to give even an approximate estimate of the enormous annual loss caused by their depredations throughout Canada. Much of the dead timber whose destruction is attributed to fire is the result of outbreaks of bark-beetles; this is particular^ true in British Columbia. In consequence of their great economic importance, Mr. Swaine has been devoting the greater part of his attention for a number of j^ears to a study of the species of bark- beetles, their life-histories and bionomics.
