A comparison of coarse woody debris in post-harvest and post-fire island remnants a decade after disturbance in northern Alberta
DownloadFall 2022
Retention forestry is the practice of retaining forest structure within cut-blocks at harvest sites and is practiced widely throughout the world. Although retention practices are modelled on the propensity for fires to leave behind a variety of biological legacies or structural elements, the...

A molecular assessment of range expansion of the northern or virile crayfish (Orconectes virilis), crayfish-based community co-structure, and phylogeny of crayfish-affiliated symbionts
DownloadFall 2012
Geographical limits of a species’ range are determined in part by the environmental tolerances of that species, and also by its past and current ability to colonize new areas. Range shifts are a common occurrence in the evolutionary history of almost all taxa; however, anthropogenically-mediated...

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)
Download2013-01-01
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...

Factors driving range expansion of white-tailed deer, Odocoileus virginianus, in the boreal forest of northern Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2011
A large suite of species, across numerous taxa, are expanding their geographic ranges, with potential impacts on species, communities and ecosystems. This has increased interest in understanding the mechanisms driving range change and anticipating future changes in species’ distributions....

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...

Influence of water deficit on the molecular responses of Pinus contorta × Pinus banksiana mature trees to infection by the mountain pine beetle fungal associate, Grosmannia clavigera

Kayal, Walid El, Cooke, Barry J., Linsky, Jean, Arango-Velez, Adriana, Galindo González, Leonardo M., Cooke, Janice E.K., Meents, Miranda J., Lusebrink, Inka
Conifers exhibit a number of constitutive and induced mechanisms to defend against attack by pests and pathogens such as mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) and their fungal associates. Ecological studies have demonstrated that stressed trees are more susceptible to attack by...

Major intrinsic proteins of Laccaria bicolor: characterization, transcript profiling and functions in ectomycorrhizal associations with Picea glauca
DownloadSpring 2015
In mycorrhizal associations, water transport properties of the fungal hyphae may affect water transport of the host plants. The importance of aquaporins, water-transporting members of the Major Intrinsic Protein (MIP) family, in facilitating water transport has been widely acknowledged and...

Wittische, Julian, Janes, Jasmine K., James, Patrick M. A.
The current mountain pine beetle (MPB; Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins, 1902) outbreak has reached more than 25 million hectares of forests in North America, affecting pine species throughout the region and substantially changing landscapes. However, landscape features that enhance or limit...
