A species-diagnostic SNP panel for discriminating lodgepole pine, jack pine, and their interspecific hybrids
Download2013-01-01
Dang, S. , Cullingham, Catherine I. , Cooke, Janice E. K., Coltman, David W.
Accurate stock identification is important for forest management, yet this can be a challenge for tree species that hybridize naturally. Species discriminating molecular markers provide a means to identify stock with high accuracy. In Canada, lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. ex Loud. var....

Aftermath of mountain pine beetle outbreak in British Columbia: Stand dynamics, management response and ecosystem resilience
Download2016
Dhar, Amalesh, Parrott, Lael, & Hawkins, Christopher D. B.
The mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) (MPB) has infested and killed millions of hectares of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia Engelm) forests in British Columbia, Canada, over the past decade. It is now spreading out of its native range into the Canadian boreal...

Antennal transcriptome analysis of chemosensory gene families in tree killing bark beetles, Ips typographus andDendroctonus ponderosae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae)

Andersson, Martin N., Schlyter, Fredrik, Bohlmann, Jörg, Grosse-Wilde, Ewald, Li, Maria, Keeling, Christopher I., Hansson, Bill S., Bengtsson, Jonas M., Yuen, Macaire M.S., Hillbur, Ylva
Background The European spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus, and the North American mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), are severe pests of coniferous forests. Both bark beetle species utilize aggregation pheromones to coordinate mass-attacks on...

Characterizing the physical and genetic structure of the lodgepole pine × jack pine hybrid zone: mosaic structure and differential introgression
Download2012-01-01
Coltman, David W., James, Patrick M. A., Cullingham,Catherine I., Cooke, Janice E. K.
Understanding the physical and genetic structure of hybrid zones can illuminate factors affecting their formation and stability. In north-central Alberta, lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. ex Loud. var. latifolia) and jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb) form a complex and poorly defined hybrid...

Simard, S. W., Cahill Jr, J. F., Erbilgin, N., RolTreu, J., Karst, M., Pec, J., Cigan, P. W., Cooke, J. E. K., Gregory, R.
Forest die-off caused by mountain pine beetle (MPB; Dendroctonus ponderosa) is rapidly transforming western North American landscapes. The rapid and widespread death of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) will likely have cascading effects on biodiversity. One group particularly prone to such...

Effect of water stress and plant defense stimulation on monoterpene emission from a historical and a new pine host of the mountain pine beetle
Download2011-01-01
Cooke, Janice E. K., Blanchet, F. Guillaume, Lusebrink, Inka, Erbilgin, Nadir, Evenden, Maya L.
The mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae, MPB) has killed millions of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) trees in Western Canada and recent range expansion has resulted in attack of jack pine (Pinus banksiana) in Alberta. Establishment of MPB in the Boreal forest will require use of jack...

Factors influencing flight capacity of the mountain pine beetle (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae)
Download2014-01-01
Evenden, Maya L., Whitehouse, C. M., Sykes, J.
The mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) is the most damaging pest of mature pine (Pinaceae) in western North America. Although mountain pine beetles have an obligate dispersal phase during which adults must locate a new host for brood...

Gene discovery for enzymes involved in limonene modification or utilization by the mountain pine beetle-associated pathogen Grosmannia clavigera
Download2014-01-01
Lah, Ljerka, Wang, Ye, Breuil, Colette, Madilao, Lina, Bohlmann, Joerg, Lim, Lynette
To successfully colonize and eventually kill pine trees, Grosmannia clavigera (Gs cryptic species), the main fungal pathogen associated with the mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae), has developed multiple mechanisms to overcome host tree chemical defenses, of which terpenoids are a...

Global and comparative proteomic profiling of overwintering and developing mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), larvae
Download2012
Keeling, Christopher I., Huber, Dezene P.W., Pitt, Caitlin, Fraser, Jordie D., Bohlmann, Jörg, Bonnett, Tiffany R., Robert, Jeanne A.
Background Mountain pine beetles, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), are native to western North America, but have recently begun to expand their range across the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The requirement for larvae to withstand extremely cold winter temperatures and...
