Project Coordinators: Eric R. Day, VPI&SU. Bernetta Barco, USDA/APHIS/PPQ. Debra Martin, VDACS. Objective: Survey of select oak forests near ports of entry for exotic Buprestid beetles with particular emphasis on Agrilus biguttatus. Benefits/Justification: Agrilus biguttatus or the Oak Splendor beetle is not known to occur in North America but its introduction could have a huge impact on hardwood production and the nursery and landscape business similar to effect of the Emerald Ash Borer. Materials and Methods: Buprestid beetles were trapped with a tree silhouette trap developed by Jason et al. (2004 ESA Poster). This silhouette trap consists of a strip of pink duct tape coated with a sticky material. This tape was fastened to an upright metal pole. This additional trunk ,. trap was placed in the same general area as the silhouette traps but did not yield significant numbers of bu pre st id beetles. Traps were checked monthly and were covered with a clear plastic covering and returned to the lab so the beetles could , be removed with a non-destructive solvent. Initially specimens will be stored in alcohol but were later transferred to pins. Sites selected were an oak planting or natural setting with 3 or more oak trees (Quercus sp.) near a foreign source of wooden shipping material. Survey sites were near warehouses that receive wood crating, pallets, and dunnage from foreign sources, and businesses that receive material in wooden crates. See list below: Virginia Inland Port Port of Entry Alban Bus Depot Near EAN site Sully Plantation Near EAN site & Dulles Int. Airport Atlantic Landfill EAN site Port of Richmond Port of Entry Fort Eustis Port of Entry, near EAN site Newport News Mar. Term. Port of Entry Norfolk Int. Terminal Port of Entry Hampton Roads AREC Experiment Station, near EAN site Both types of traps were set up in February and removed in November. Traps were checked and replaced every 4 weeks. Traps were serviced and processed by VPI&SU. Results: All collected buprestids will be screened and no Agrilus biguttatus were found. An unusual number of Chrysobothris chryseola were found and these were sent to the Smi thsonia for con£ irmation.

    RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN DEAD WOOD AND ARTHROPODS IN THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES by MICHAEL DARRAGH ULYSHEN (Under the Direction of James L. Hanula) ABSTRACT The importance of dead wood to maintaining forest diversity is now widely recognized. However, the habitat associations and sensitivities of many species associated with dead wood remain unknown, making it difficult to develop conservation plans for managed forests. The purpose of this research, conducted on the upper coastal plain of South Carolina, was to better understand the relationships between dead wood and arthropods in the southeastern United States. In a comparison of forest types, more beetle species emerged from logs collected in upland pine-dominated stands than in bottomland hardwood forests. This difference was most pronounced for Quercus nigra L., a species of tree uncommon in upland forests. In a comparison of wood postures, more beetle species emerged from logs than from snags, but a number of species appear to be dependent on snags including several canopy specialists. In a study of saproxylic beetle succession, species richness peaked within the first year of death and declined steadily thereafter. However, a number of species appear to be dependent on highly decayed logs, underscoring the importance of protecting wood at all stages of decay. In a study comparing litter-dwelling arthropod abundance at different distances from dead wood, arthropods were more abundant near dead wood than away from it. In another study, ground- dwelling arthropods and saproxylic beetles were little affected by large-scale manipulations of dead wood in upland pine-dominated forests, possibly due to the suitability of the forests surrounding the plots.

Swink North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Plant Industry Division, 1060 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1060, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-919-233-8214 Received: 11 June 2018; Accepted: 17 July 2018; Published: 19 July 2018 Abstract: The relationship between predator and prey size was studied in the buprestid hunting wasp Cerceris fumipennis Say in eight widely distributed nesting aggregations in North Carolina, USA. Initial work indicated a significant linear relationship between wasp head width and wasp wet weight; thus, head width was used to estimate wasp body mass in subsequent studies. Prey loads of hunting females was studied by measuring the head width of the wasp, then identifying and weighing the prey item brought back to the nest. There was significant variation in wasp size among nesting aggregations; the average estimated wasp body mass in one site was double that in another. Prey weight varied with wasp weight, but larger wasps had a slight tendency to carry proportionally larger prey. Beetles captured by large wasps (≥120 mg) were significantly more variable in weight than those taken by small wasps (<80 mg). All but the smallest wasps could carry more than their own body weight. Prey loads ranged from 4.8–150.2% of wasp weight. Evidence suggests that small wasps bring back more of the economically important buprestid genus Agrilus and thus would be most efficient in biosurveillance for pest buprestids.
