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...

Seasonal shifts in accumulation of glycerol biosynthetic gene transcripts in mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), larvae
Download2017
Fraser, Jordie D., Bonnett, Tiffany R., Keeling, Christopher I., Huber, Dezene P.W.
Winter mortality is a major factor regulating population size of the mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). Glycerol is the major cryoprotectant in this freeze intolerant insect. We report findings from a gene expression study on an overwintering...

Resource allocation, water relations and crown architecture examined at the tree and stand-level in northern conifers
DownloadFall 2013
Variation in quantity of light has driven plants to employ many strategies in order to persist in high and low light. It is also a primary driver of lower branch mortality and crown recession. Fine roots and leaves are complimentary tissues representing belowground and aboveground resource...

Regeneration development on lodgepole pine cutovers in the Upper Foothills forests of west-central Alberta
Download1985
Masters thesis. Results of an investigation of regeneration on harvested lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. var. latifolia Engelm.) areas in west-central Alberta. Samples were from pure lodgepole pine stands, clearcut and scarified from one to 15 years prior to the study.

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...

Abstract: During a survey of microfungi from rotting wood in northern Alberta forests, 49 species of ascomycetes, representing 24 genera, and 15 families in seven orders, were recovered. Twenty-eight species are new reports for Alberta, 15 of which are new for Canada, and seven are new for North...

Interactions of pea leaf weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) with its primary and secondary host plants in Alberta
DownloadFall 2021
The pea leaf weevil, Sitona lineatus Linnaeus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is an invasive, oligophagous herbivore that feeds on a variety of legume (Fabales: Fabaceae) plants. Field peas (Pisum sativum) and faba bean (Vicia faba) are the primary host plants of the pea leaf weevil. Adult weevils...
