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....

Planning forest management relies on predicting insect outbreaks such as mountain pine beetle, particularly in the intermediate‐term future, e.g., 5‐year. Machine‐learning algorithms are potential solutions to this challenging problem due to their many successes across a variety of prediction...

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 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)...

Repurposing population genetics data to discern genomic architecture: A case study of linkage cohort detection in mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae)
Download2019-01-01
Trevoy, Stephen A.L., Janes, Jasmine K., Muirhead, Kevin, Sperling, Felix A. H.
Genetic surveys of the population structure of species can be used as resources for exploring their genomic architecture. By adjusting filtering assumptions, genomewide single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) datasets can be reused to give new insights into the genetic basis of divergence and...

Raffa, Kenneth F., Aukema, Brian H., Bentz, Barbara J., Carroll, Allan L., Hicke, Jeffrey A., Kolb, Thomas E.
Bark beetles cause widespread tree mortal- ity, so understanding how climate change will infl uence the distribution and magni- tude of outbreaks by this group of herbi- vores is important. We fi rst develop a framework of outbreak dynamics that emphasizes transitions from states domi- nated by...

Seasonal shifts in accumulation of glycerol biosynthetic gene transcripts in mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), larvae

Fraser, Jordie D., Bonnett, Tiffany R., Keeling, Christopher I., Huber, Dezene P.W.
Winter mortality is a major factor regulating population size of the mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). Glycerol is the major cryoprotectant in this freeze intolerant insect. We report findings from a gene expression study on an overwintering...

Selection of the sex-linked Inhibitor of Apoptosis in Mountain Pine Beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) driven by enhanced expression during early overwintering

Horianopoulos, Linda C., Boone, Celia K., Samarasekera, Gayathri, Kandola, Gurkirat K., Murray, Brent W.
The mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) is an insect native to western North America; however, its geographical range has recently expanded north in BC and east into Alberta. To understand the population structure in the areas of expansion, 16 gene‐linked microsatellites were screened...

Short- and long-term cold storage of jack pine bolts is associated with higher concentrations of monoterpenes and nutrients
Download2019-01-01
Guevara-Rozo, Sydne, Classens, Gail, Hussain, Altaf, Erbilgin, Nadir
Studies with conifer-infesting bark beetles commonly use bolts cut from trees to evaluate the effects of host tree quality on various aspects of insect biology. Yet, whether host quality changes between live trees and bolts cut from these trees has not been assessed. Particularly, changes in...

Single-nucleotide polymorphism discovery in Leptographium longiclavatum, a mountain pine beetle-associated symbiotic fungus, using whole-genome resequencing

Ojeda, Dario I., Dhillon, Braham, Tsui, Clement K. M., Hamelin, Richard C.
Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are rapidly becoming the standard markers in population genomics studies; however, their use in nonmodel organisms is limited due to the lack of cost-effective approaches to uncover genome-wide variation, and the large number of individuals needed in the...
