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...

Growth of understory spruce following mountain pine beetle attack and recalibration and validation of the Mixedwood Growth Model for black spruce
DownloadFall 2018
Effective forest management requires reliable growth and yield models and adequate information on changes in the forest resulting from climate change, insect outbreak and competition from neighboring trees. Growth responses of white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) and black spruce (Picea...

Host Plant Chemistry Affects Fungal Interactions, Which Influence the Production of Volatile Fungal Metabolites
DownloadSpring 2019
Mountain pine beetle (MPB) has recently expanded its host range to novel jack pine forests in Alberta. Invasion success of MPB may depend on the outcome of interactions between its primary symbiotic fungus Grosmannia clavigera with other organisms sharing the same host. Among resources-sharing...

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...

Impact of Mountain Pine Beetle Attack on Water Balance of Lodgepole Pine Forests in Alberta
DownloadSpring 2013
In recent decades mountain pine beetle (MPB) has become an important natural disturbance agent in western Canada, thus the impact of this disturbance will likely be an important component affecting water resources in this region. Despite the widespread recognition of the potential changes, there...

Induced monoterpene responses in jack pine: defence against jack pine budworm and a fungal associate of the mountain pine beetle
DownloadFall 2010
My thesis research investigated monoterpene responses in jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) to different agents to better understand how these responses may influence the spread of the mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins; MPB) in the boreal forest. The results support that...

Interactions Between Host Trees, Bacteria, and Fungi: Impacts on Mountain Pine Beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) Reproduction
DownloadFall 2012
Warming winter trends due to climate change have allowed for a range expansion of the mountain pine beetle, and the beetle now threatens Canada’s economically and ecologically important jack pine forests. The beetle’s success in jack pine trees will depend upon successful colonization of the...
