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...

Breebaart, L., St. Louis, V.L.
We quantified supplemental sources of calcium in the diet of nestling Tree Swallows (Tachycineta bicolor) near acid sensitive lakes in northwestern Ontario. Among the calcium-rich items brought to nest boxes by adult swallows and ingested by nestlings, fish bones (particularly flat pieces) were...

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...

Density-dependent variation in lifetime breeding success and natural and sexual selection in Soay rams
Download1999
Smith, J.A., Bancroft, D.R., Clutton-Brock, T.H., MacColl, A.D., Pilkington, J., Coltman, D.W., Pemberton, J.M.
Variation in male lifetime breeding success (LBS) is central to understanding selection, yet it has rarely been measured in natural populations of large mammals. Here, we first describe variation in the opportunity for selection in cohorts of Soay rams (Ovis aries) on the archipelago of St....

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...

Functional genomics of mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) midguts and fat bodies

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...

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...

How stakeholders structure their collaborations to anticipate and tackle the threat of mountain pine beetle in the Jasper–Hinton (Alberta, Canada) area1

Gonzalès, Rodolphe, Parrott, Lael
The resilience of resource-based communities facing natural disturbances partly depends on the capacity of a wide diversity of stakeholders to share their expertise, articulate their efforts, and develop solutions that are both effective and equitable. Structural methods from network theory can...
