Adaptive and neutral markers both show continent-wide population structure of mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae)
Download2016-01-01
Sperling, Felix A. H., Murray, Brent W., Batista, Philip D., Janes, Jasmine K., Boone, Celia K.
Assessments of population genetic structure and demographic history have traditionally been based on neutral markers while explicitly excluding adaptive markers. In this study, we compared the utility of putatively adaptive and neutral single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for inferring mountain...

Comparison of lodgepole and jack pine constitutive and induced resin chemistry: implications for range expansion by the mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae, (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

Clark, Erin L., Carroll, Allan L., Huber, Dezene P.W., Lindgren, B. Staffan, Pitt, Caitlin
The mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae, is a significant pest of lodgepole pine in British Columbia (BC), where it has recently reached an unprecedented outbreak level. Although it is native to western North America, the beetle can now be viewed as a native invasive because for the...

Chan, Simon K., Henderson, Hannah, Sperling, Felix A. H., Docking, Roderick T., Palmquist, Diana L., Nguyen, Anh, Zhao, Yongjun, Birol, Inanc, Pandoh, Pawan, Li, Maria, Taylor, Greg A., Liao, Nancy Y., Moore, Richard, Bohlmann, Joerg, Janes, Jasmine K., Jackman, Shaun D., Yuen, Macaire M. S., Huber, Dezene P. W., Jones, Steven J. M., Keeling, Christopher I.
Background The mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins, is the most serious insect pest of western North American pine forests. A recent outbreak destroyed more than 15 million hectares of pine forests, with major environmental effects on forest health, and economic effects on the...

Factors influencing dispersal by flight in bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae Scolytinae): from genes to landscapes.
Download2019-01-01
Jones, Kelsey L., Shegelski, Victor A., Marcelis, Nathan G., Wijerathna, Asha N., Evenden, Maya L.
Dispersal by flight is obligatory for bark beetles in the subfamily Scolytinae. Adult bark beetles must leave the natal host and fly to seek new hosts for brood production. Because of the eruptive nature of some bark beetle populations, dispersal capacity has implications for beetle spread and...

Functional genomics of mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) midguts and fat bodies

Keeling, Christopher I., Bearfield, Jeremy C., Blomquist, Gary J., Schlauch, Karen, Tittiger, Claus, Young, Sharon, Aw, Tidiane
Background The mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) is a significant coniferous forest pest in western North America. It relies on aggregation pheromones to colonize hosts. Its three major pheromone components, trans-verbenol, exo-brevicomin, and frontalin, are thought to arise via...

Flight polyphenisms naturally occur as discrete or continuous traits in insects. Discrete flight polyphenisms include winged and wingless morphs, whereas continuous flight polyphenisms can take the form of short- or long-distance fliers. The mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) exhibits...

Phoretic mite associates of mountain pine beetle at the leading edge of an infestation in northwestern Alberta, Canada

Proctor, H. C., Evenden, M. L., Mori, B. A., Walter, D. E.
Abstract: We identified species of mites phoretically associated with mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), collected from bolts of lodgepole pine, Pinus contorta Douglas ex Louden (Pinaceae), and pheromone-baited traps in northwestern...

Testing for trade-offs between flight and reproduction in the mountain pine beetle (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) on two pine hosts
Download2019-01-01
Wijerathna, Asha, Whitehouse, Caroline, Proctor, Heather, Evenden, Maya
Mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) adults fly to disperse before host colonization. The effect of flight on reproduction was tested by comparing the number and quality of offspring from beetles flown on flight mills to that of unflown...

Trees Wanted - dead or alive! Host selection and population dynamics in tree-killing bark beetles
Download2011
Erbilgin, N., Gregoire, J. C., Gilbert, M., Kausrud, K. L., Skarpaas, O., Stenseth, N. C., Okland, B.
Abstract: Bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) feed and breed in dead or severely weakened host trees. When their population densities are high, some species aggregate on healthy host trees so that their defences may be exhausted and the inner bark successfully colonized, killing...
