We investigate the inside dynamics of solutions to integrodifference equations to understand the genetic consequences of a population with nonoverlapping generations undergoing range expansion. To obtain the inside dynamics, we decompose the solution into neutral genetic components. The inside...

Rapid monoterpene induction promotes the susceptibility of a novel host pine to mountain pine beetle colonization but not to beetle-vectored fungi

Cale, Jonathan A, Muskens, Marlena, Najar, Ahmed, Ishangulyyvena, Guncha, Hussain, Altaf, Kanekar, Sanat S, Klutsch, Jennifer G, Taft, Spencer, Erbilgin, Nadir
Chemical induction can drive tree susceptibility to and host range expansions of attacking insects and fungi. Recently, mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins; MPB) has expanded its host range from its historic host lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia Douglas ex Loudon)...

Shegelski, Victor A., Campbell, Erin O., Thompson, Kirsten M., Whitehouse, Caroline M., Sperling, Felix A. H.
The mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is a significant destructive force in the pine forests of western Canada and has the capacity to spread east into a novel host tree species, jack pine (Pinaceae). New populations have been documented in central...

Testing for trade-offs between flight and reproduction in the mountain pine beetle (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) on two pine hosts
Download2019-01-01
Wijerathna, Asha, Whitehouse, Caroline, Proctor, Heather, Evenden, Maya
Mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) adults fly to disperse before host colonization. The effect of flight on reproduction was tested by comparing the number and quality of offspring from beetles flown on flight mills to that of unflown...
