A variety of collecting methods was used, including netting, light attracting, light trapping and pheromone trapping. The specimens were identified by the currently available pictorial sources and determination keys. Many were also sent to specialists for confirmation or identification. The majority of the data was from Kanawha County, reflecting the area of more intensive sampling effort by the senior author.

  • 1998 Forest Health Highlights
    The Resource Over 5 percent (2.1 million acres) of Iowa is covered by trees and forests. Our forests have significant impacts on our agricultural-based economy, protection of our drinking water supply, critical wildlife habitat and overall enjoyment of the place that we call Iowa. Wood industries employ over 7,000 Iowans, producing lumber and high quality wood products. Trees in our small and large communities, our “urban forests,” increase property values and conserve cooling and heating energy. Our forests are vital to our state’s future. Because our forest resources are valuable to the citizens of Iowa, the Forestry Division of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) began monitoring forest and tree health conditions in the late 1970’s. This monitoring effort today is used to determine overall forest and tree health conditions, the status of natural and exotic insect and disease problems, and to provide up-to-date information for private and public managers to aid in the sustained management of Iowa’s forest resources. Monitoring Efforts for 1998 Estimates of serious forest and tree insects, diseases, and weather impacts, were determined by aerial surveys of over 141,832 acres of representative forested areas across the state conducted during the Summer of 1998. Visual surveys from DNR Foresters, municipal foresters, and trained volunteers were also evaluated, as well as aerial survey assistance from the USFS , in determining forest and tree health conditions and locations of pest problems. Potentially the greatest threat to our forests is from the famous “Gypsy Moth,” (not yet established in our state, but potentially serious) which required placement of 6,000 pheromone survey traps by the IDALS State Entomologist's Office and selected volunteers to determine infestation areas and sites in need of quick eradication efforts.

  • Forest Insect Conditions in the United States 1966
    FOREST INSECT CONDITIONS IN THE UNITED STATES 1966 FOREST SERVICE ' U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Foreword This report is the 18th annual account of the scope, severity, and trend of the more important forest insect infestations in the United States, and of the programs undertaken to check resulting damage and loss. It is compiled primarily for managers of public and private forest lands, but has become useful to students and others interested in outbreak trends and in the location and extent of pest populations. The report also makes possible n greater awareness of the insect prob­ lem and of losses to the timber resource. The opening section highlights the more important conditions Nationwide, and each section that pertains to a forest region is prefaced by its own brief summary. Under the Federal Forest Pest Control Act, a sharing by Federal and State Governments the costs of surveys and control is resulting in a stronger program of forest insect and disease detection and evaluation surveys on non-Federal lands. As more States avail themselves of this financial assistance from the Federal Government, damage and loss from forest insects will become less. The screening and testing of nonpersistent pesticides for use in suppressing forest defoliators continued in 1966. The carbamate insecticide Zectran in a pilot study of its effectiveness against the spruce budworm in Montana and Idaho appeared both successful and safe. More extensive 'tests are planned for 1967. Since only the smallest of the spray droplets reach the target, plans call for reducing the spray to a fine mist. The course of the fine spray, resulting from diffusion and atmospheric currents, will be tracked by lidar, a radar-laser combination.

  • Maine Forest Service MAINE DEPARTMENT OF
    Maine Forest Service ● MAINE DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION FALL CANKERWORM Alsophila pometaria (Harris) Insect and Disease Laboratory ● 168 State House Station ● 50 Hospital Street ● Augusta, Maine ● 04333­0168 Damage This important pest of forest and shade trees occurs generally throughout most of Northeastern America where it feeds on a variety of hardwoods. Damage is first noticed in early May when feeding by the tiny larvae known as "cankerworms," "loopers," "inchworms" or "measuring worms" on the opening buds and expanding leaves causes the foliage to be skeletonized. Later as the larvae mature all but the midrib (and veins) of leaves are devoured. Occasional outbreaks of this pest in Maine have caused severe defoliation of oak and elm. The outbreaks are most often localized and usually last three to four years before natural control factors cause the population to collapse. Trees subjected to two or more years of heavy defoliation may be seriously damaged, especially weaker trees or trees growing on poor sites. Hosts Its preferred hosts are oak, elm and apple, but it also occurs on maple, beech, ash, poplar, box elder, basswood, and cherry. Description and Habits The wingless, greyish­brown female cankerworm moths emerge from the duff with the onset of cold weather in October and November and crawl up the tree trunks. The male moth is greyish­brown with a one inch wing span. Males can often be seen flitting through infested stands during the day or warmer nights during hunting season. The females are not often seen. Females deposit their eggs in single­layered compact masses of 100 or more on the bark of smaller branches and twigs of trees often high in the crown from October to early December.

    GENOMICS OF SYSTEMIC INDUCED DEFENSE RESPONSES TO INSECT HERBIVORY IN HYBRID POPLAR by RYAN NICHOLAS PHILIPPE B.Sc. (Hon.), the University of British Columbia, 2003 A THESIS SUBMITTED 1N PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Botany) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA September 2008 © Ryan Nicholas Philippe, 2008 Abstract The availability of a poplar (Populus trichocarpa Torr & A. Gray, bLack cottonwood) genome sequence is enabling new research approaches in angiosperm tree biology. Much of the recent genomics research in popLars has been on wood formation, growth and deveLopment, and abiotic stress tolerance, motivated, at Least in part, by the fact that popLars provide an important system for Large scale, short-rotation pLantation forestry in the Northern Hemisphere. Given their widespread distribution and long lifespan, poplar trees are threatened by a Large variety of insect herbivore pests, and must deal with their attacks with a successfuL defense response. To sustain productivity and ecosystem health of natural and planted poplar forests, it is of critical importance to develop a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of defense and resistance of poplars against insect pests. Previous research has established a soLid foundation of the chemical ecology of poplar defense against base with Large-scaLe profiling of transcriptome responses of insects. In this study, I buiLd on this popLar trees to insect herbivory.

  • Yellownecked Caterpillar Datana Ministra Order Lepidoptera, Family Notodontidae; Prominents Native Pest
    Pests of Trees and Shrubs Yellownecked caterpillar Datana ministra Order Lepidoptera, Family Notodontidae; prominents Native pest Host plants: Azalea, basswood, beech, birch, chestnut, crabapple, elm, honeylocust, locust, maple, mountain- ash, oak, peach, sumac, and many other fruit and shade trees Description: Adult moths can reach 50 mm in length and have a wingspan of approximately 50 mm. Their forewings are cinnamon-colored with darker lines and irregular edges. The rear wings are somewhat lighter. The head and thorax are dark brown; the abdomen buff. Mature larvae are black except for a yellow-orange neck Yellownecked caterpillar larvae. (278) and several yellow lines. Photo: unknown Life history: Adults emerge in June or July. Eggs are deposited in large clusters under leaves. They are present from July through October. When disturbed, they raise both ends of their body in an alarm posture. There is one generation a year. Overwintering: Pupae in soil. Damage symptoms: Larvae feed in groups near branch terminals. Young larvae skeletonize leaves. Older larvae eat everything but the main veins. Light infestations may defoliate single branches. Small trees may be completely defoliated by heavy infestations, and successive defolia- tions of two or more years may lead to serious dieback or death. Monitoring: Beginning in July, look for signs of skeleton- ization or defoliation on branch terminals. Look for clusters of larvae feeding close by. Shake branches to dislodge and discover hidden groups of larvae. Physical control: In light infestations and where acces- sible, groups of young larvae can be manually removed and destroyed. Chemical control: Young larvae may be sprayed with horticultural oil or Bacillus thuringiensis var.
