Population Structure of Mountain Pine Beetle Symbiont Leptographium longiclavatum and the Implication on the Multipartite Beetle-Fungi Relationships
Download2014-01-01
Roe, Amanda D., Farfan, Lina, Cooke, Janice E. K., Hamelin, Richard C., El-Kassaby, Yousry A., Rice, Adrianne V., Tsui, Clement K.
Over 18 million ha of forests have been destroyed in the past decade in Canada by the mountain pine beetle (MPB) and its fungal symbionts. Understanding their population dynamics is critical to improving modeling of beetle epidemics and providing potential clues to predict population expansion....

Proteomics indicators of the rapidly shifting physiology from whole mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), adults during early host colonization

Bohlmann, Jörg, Pitt, Caitlin, Huber, Dezene P. W. , Bonnett, Tiffany R., Keeling, Christopher I., Robert, Jeanne A.
We developed proteome profiles for host colonizing mountain pine beetle adults, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). Adult insects were fed in pairs on fresh host lodgepole pine, Pinus contorta Dougl. ex Loud, phloem tissue. The proteomes of fed individuals were monitored...

Rapid Increases in Forest Understory Diversity and Productivity following a Mountain Pine Beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) Outbreak in Pine Forests
Download2015-01-01
Pec, G. J., Karst, J., Sywenky, A. N, Cigan, P. W., Erbilgin, N., Simard, S. W., Cahill, J. F.
The current unprecedented outbreak of mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) in lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) forests of western Canada has resulted in a landscape consisting of a mosaic of forest stands at different stages of mortality. Within forest stands, understory communities are...

Spatial genetic structure of a symbiotic beetle-fungal system: Toward multi-taxa integrated landscape genetics
Download2011-01-01
Sperling, Felix A. H., Hamelin, Richard C., Murray, Brent W., James, Patrick M. A., Coltman, Dave W.
Spatial patterns of genetic variation in interacting species can identify shared features that are important to gene flow and can elucidate co-evolutionary relationships. We assessed concordance in spatial genetic variation between the mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) and one of its...

TRIA-Net: 10 years of collaborative research on turning risk into action for the mountain pine beetle epidemic
Download2019-01-01
James, Patrick M.A., Huber, Dezene P.W.
Forest insects are showing increasing intensity of outbreaks and expanded ranges, and this has become a major challenge for forest managers. An understanding of these systems often depends upon detailed examination of complex interactions involving multiple organisms. In 2013, a team of...
