Linking genotype to phenotype to identify genetic variation relating to host susceptibility in the mountain pine beetle system
Download2020-01-01
Cullingham, Catherine I., Peery, Rhiannon M., Fortier, Colleen E., Mahon, Elizabeth L., Cooke, Janice E. K., Coltman, David W.
Identifying genetic variants responsible for phenotypic variation under selective pressure has the potential to enable productive gains in natural resource conservation and management. Despite this potential, identifying adaptive candidate loci is not trivial, and linking genotype to phenotype is...

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...

Molecular analysis of lodgepole and jack pine seedlings response to inoculation by mountain pine beetle fungal associate Grosmannia clavigera under well watered and water deficit
DownloadFall 2016
To date mountain pine beetle (MPB) has affected more than 19 million ha. of pine forests in Canada. The primary species affected by the current outbreak has been lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta), however as MPB range expands eastward beyond its historical habitat, the bark beetle has encountered a...

Dispersal by flight is a complex life history phase in many insects that is essential to gene flow and range expansion. Many elements contribute to realized dispersal, including biotic and abiotic environmental conditions, as well as intrinsic factors such as morphology, physiology and behavior....

Optimization of semiochemical monitoring for pea leaf weevil, Sitona lineatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), in the Prairie Provinces
DownloadFall 2017
The pea leaf weevil, Sitona lineatus Linnaeus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is an invasive pest of increasing concern to pulse producers in the Canadian Prairie Provinces. Pea leaf weevil larvae cause damage to field pea (Pisum sativum) and faba bean (Vicia faba) crops by feeding on root nodules...

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...

Cullingham, Catherine I., Sperling, Felix A. H., Coltman, David W., Roe, Amanda D.
Irruptive forest insect pests cause considerable ecological and economic damage, and their outbreaks have been increasing in frequency and severity. We use a phylogeographic approach to understand the location and progression of an outbreak by the MPB (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins), an...

Physiological, ecological and environmental factors that predispose trees, stands and landscapes to infestation by tree-killing Dendroctonus beetles
DownloadSpring 2013
In the last century the frequency and severity of outbreaks of tree-killing Dendroctonus beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) have increased. Small-scale drivers within trees likely drive outbreak dynamics across landscapes. At a small scale, variation in carbohydrate availability within the stems...
