Factors governing outbreak dynamics in a forest intensively managed for mountain pine beetle
Download2020-05-05
Mélodie Kunegel-Lion, MarkA. Lewis
Mountain pine beetle (MPB) outbreaks have caused major economic losses and ecological consequences in North American pine forests. Ecological and environmental factors impacting MPB life-history and stands susceptibility can help with the detection of MPB infested trees and thereby, improve...

Factors influencing dispersal by flight in bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae Scolytinae): from genes to landscapes.
Download2019-01-01
Jones, Kelsey L., Shegelski, Victor A., Marcelis, Nathan G., Wijerathna, Asha N., Evenden, Maya L.
Dispersal by flight is obligatory for bark beetles in the subfamily Scolytinae. Adult bark beetles must leave the natal host and fly to seek new hosts for brood production. Because of the eruptive nature of some bark beetle populations, dispersal capacity has implications for beetle spread and...

Factors influencing size inequality in peatland black spruce and tamarack: Evidence from post-drainage release growth
Download1999
1 We used tree ring analysis to determine stem radius and thus examine size variation over time in two even-aged (approximately 40-year-old) mixed populations of black spruce and tamarack established on peatlands in a boreal forest. We also followed the response of one of these populations to...
