Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bark Beetle Management, Ecology, and Climate Change provides the most updated and comprehensive knowledge on the complex effects of global warming upon the economically and ecologically important bark beetle species and their host trees. This authoritative reference synthesizes information on how forest disturbances and environmental changes due to current and future climate changes alter the ecology and management of bark beetles in forested landscapes. Written by international experts on bark beetle ecology, this book covers topics ranging from changes in bark beetle distributions and addition of novel hosts due to climate change, interactions of insects with altered host physiology and disturbance regimes, ecosystem-level impacts of bark beetle outbreaks due to climate change, multi-trophic changes mediated via climate change, and management of bark beetles in altered forests and climate conditions. Bark Beetle Management, Ecology, and Climate Change is an important resource for entomologists, as well as forest health specialists, policy makers, and conservationists who are interested in multi-faceted impacts of climate change on forest insects at the organismal, population, and community-levels. The only book that addresses the impacts of global warming on bark beetles with feedback loops to forest patterns and processes Discusses altered disturbance regimes due to climate change with implications for bark beetles and associated organisms Led by a team of editors whose expertise includes entomology, pathology, ecology, forestry, modeling, and tree physiology
Download or read book Parasites and Predators of Dendroctonus Ponderosae Hopkins Coleoptera written by Ronald Forrest Billings and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bark beetle Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) has caused severe mortality in recent decades to young stands of ponderosa pine in the western United States. Insect parasites and predators, believed to be of importance in the population dynamics of the beetle, were the subject of the thesis research, conducted in eastern Oregon. An annotated catalog of parasites and predators of D. ponderosae found in ponderosa pine is given. Parasites encountered were few both in number of species and relative abundance, and generally were limited in distribution to the upper boles of infested trees. As a result, they were considered of little importance as mortality factors. Medetera aldrichii Wheeler (Diptera: Dolichopodida) was the most abundant and widely distributed predator collected from infested ponderosa pine. The coleopteran predators Enoclerus sphegeus Fabricius, E. lecontei (Wolcott) (Coleoptera: Cleridae) and Temnochila virescens Mannerheim (Coleoptera: Ostomidae) were found in relatively low numbers. Other insect species present in sufficient numbers to Influence bark beetle brood survival, if predaceous, included Lonchaea sp. (Diptera: Lonchaeidae); Rhizophagus sculpturatus Mannerheim (Coleoptera: Rhizophagidae); Aulonium longum LeConte (Coleoptera: Colyiidae); Othnius sp. (Coleoptera: Othniidae); Corticeus sp. (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) and species of Staphylinidae (order Coleoptera). Five infestations, representing three distinct levels in a bark beetle gradation (enzootic, epizootic, decline from epizootic), were sampled to determine if differences in species composition and abundance of natural enemies existed among infestation levels. No differences in species composition of known predators nor of the more common associated insects possibly predaceous in habit were found. M. aldrichii was the only predatory species to exhibit a significant numerical (density dependent) response to increasing bark beetle infestation level. On basis of this attribute and its relative abundance, this species was considered by far the most important insect enemy of D. ponderosae in young ponderosa pine. Results suggest that M. aldrichii, as a natural regulatory agent of D. ponderosae, exerts little influence in preventing bark beetle outbreaks in ponderosa pine but may significantly accelerate population decline. Since all other predatory insects showed no evident response to host density increases, their combined influence on bark beetle broods would be greatest at low population levels. The spatial distribution of the more common predators within a given infestation was determined. Density of M. aldrichii was found to be positively correlated with tree diameter. Analysis of predator and bark beetle abundance in relation to subcortical moisture of host trees revealed that M. aldrichii was more susceptible to low moisture extremes than either the prey or common coleopteran predators. Larvae of M. aldrichii were not encountered in trees, sampled just prior to beetle emergence, in which subcortical tissues had dried below the fiber saturation point. As a result, survival of N. aldrichii and its effectiveness as a predator would be reduced in individual trees that dry rapidly and excessivly after bark beetle attack. Although mature larvae of E. sphegeus, E. lecontei and T. virescens appeared able to withstand low subcortical moisture extremes, early instar larvae may be susceptible. In epizootic bark beetle infestations M. aldrchii occurred in greatest numbers, shortly after bark beetle attack, in trees with high prey densities. At the relatively low predator to prey ratios present in study areas, predation in trees of high prey density could have done little more than reduce intraspecific competition of bark beetle brood.

Download or read book Bark and Wood Boring Insects in Living Trees in Europe a Synthesis written by François Lieutier and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-08-24 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time, a synthesis on the research work done in Europe on all Bark And Wood Boring Insects In Living Trees (BAWBILT) is presented. As final product of a four-year research project gathering together 100 scientists from 24 countries, the book is the fruit of a real collective synthesis in which all European specialists have participated. It reviews and comments on all the European literature, while considering the biological (trees, insects, associated organisms, and their relationships) and forest management aspects. However, although focused on the European forest, it also compares the available information and interpretations to those concerning similar species in other continents. It ends with propositions of research priorities for Europe. The book is directed to all scientists and students concerned with forest entomology and ecology, as well as to forest managers and all scientific public interested in forest biology.

Download or read book Bark Beetles in North American Conifers written by Jeffry B. Mitton and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 1982-11-01 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because they prey upon a wide variety of conifers, bark beetles have a major impact upon western forests. In most of the western states, for example, we have witnessed bark beetles in epidemic outbreaks, attacking and damaging ponderosa pine, limber pine, and other hosts. The ecosystem of bark beetle and host tree is a highly coevolved community of organisms in which the evolution of one member of the community significantly influences the evolution of the other. Largely because of the enormous economic impact these insects exert on the management of our forests, few other such communities have been studied so extensively. Bark Beetles in North American Conifers brings together in one volume both theory and a wealth of empirical data gathered by researchers from all the fields in which bark beetles are studied: ecology, evolutionary biology, population genetics, entomology, and forestry. Topics covered include the life cycle of bark beetles and their population dynamics, their genetic variation and evolutionary mechanisms, the evolution and systematics of the major groups of bark beetles, pheromone production and its implications for coevolution among these organisms, the interaction between bark beetles and their predators, host resistance and susceptibility, the relationship of parasites and symbiotic micro-organisms in general, and management and control of bark beetles based on sound ecological and evolutionary concepts. The concluding section of the book summarizes the dynamics of the coevolved system of bark beetle and host tree and discusses controversial issues for which this system may provide important answers.
