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...

Client sexual advances may be a common occurrence in therapy, yet there is little information available with strategies for managing them. In hope of initiating a dialogue, five female therapists’ experiences were examined for possible insights. Informal semi-structured interviews provided data...

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...

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...
