Environmental Effects on Host Selection and Dispersal of Mountain Pine Beetle by Mary Lynn Reid Pdf

This study is part of a series of research papers that explore the biological, social, and economic aspects of British Columbia's mountain pine beetle epidemic. It summarizes the results of a study on the landscape variation in lodgepole pine constitutive defences, primarily measured as resin production, but also as phloem monoterpene concentration. The response of pioneer mountain pine beetles to those defences is reviewed, measured by experimentally placing beetles on trees and by attacks of free-flying beetles; effects of beetle quality (size, condition) on the beetles' responses are also examined. Finally, the results on the dispersal of mountain pine beetles through a mature lodgepole pine stand and a burned stand are presented.--Includes text from Government of Canada publications site and from document.

Mountain Pine Beetle Dispersal Through Managed and Unmanaged Landscapes by Mary Lynn Reid Pdf

This report examines the distribution of mountain pine beetles with respect to stand composition at various scales in terms of both tree species and density. It further examines how the body condition of mountain pine beetles varies across the landscape, and suggests that these findings may explain some discrepancies in the evaluation of the success of management practices in Banff National Park.

The Mountain Pine Beetle by Pacific Forestry Centre,Mountain Pine Beetle Initiative (Canada) Pdf

"This book presents a synthesis of published information on mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins [Coleoptera: Scolytidae]) biology and management with an emphasis on lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. ex Loud. var. latifolia Engelm.) forests of western Canada. Intended as a reference for researchers as well as forest managers, the book covers three main subject areas: mountain pine beetle biology, management, and socioeconomic concerns. The chapters on biology cover taxonomy, life history and habits, distribution, insect-host tree interactions, development and survival, epidemiology, and outbreak history. The management section covers management strategy, survey and detection, proactive and preventive management, and decision support tools. The chapters on socioeconomic aspects include an economic examination of management programs and the utilization of post-beetle salvage timber in solid wood, panelboard, pulp and paper products."--Publisher's description.

Exploring the Spatial-temporal Interaction of Mountain Pine Beetle Infestations by Colin Robertson Pdf

This study is part of a series of research papers that explore the biological, social, and economic aspects of British Columbia's mountain pine beetle epidemic. It examines mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) dispersal processes, which drive the spatial and temporal development of outbreaks. Understanding these processes is important for modelling future infestations and guiding forest management decisions. In this study, the spatial patterns of red- and green-attacked trees were used to characterize the spatial-temporal nature of dispersal. Research aims were to detect evidence of dispersal based on the distance and direction between red- and green-attacked tree clusters, determine how dispersal patterns change at different stages of infestation, and to detect landscape variables influencing the observed dispersal patterns. Variables explored included Biogeoclimatic ecosystem classification (BEC), topography, and the local population of susceptible hosts.--Includes text from Government of Canada publications site and from document.

Bark Beetle Management, Ecology, and Climate Change by Kamal J.K. Gandhi,Richard W. Hofstetter Pdf

Bark Beetle Management, Ecology, and Climate Change provides the most updated and comprehensive knowledge on the complex effects of global warming upon the economically and ecologically important bark beetle species and their host trees. This authoritative reference synthesizes information on how forest disturbances and environmental changes due to current and future climate changes alter the ecology and management of bark beetles in forested landscapes. Written by international experts on bark beetle ecology, this book covers topics ranging from changes in bark beetle distributions and addition of novel hosts due to climate change, interactions of insects with altered host physiology and disturbance regimes, ecosystem-level impacts of bark beetle outbreaks due to climate change, multi-trophic changes mediated via climate change, and management of bark beetles in altered forests and climate conditions. Bark Beetle Management, Ecology, and Climate Change is an important resource for entomologists, as well as forest health specialists, policy makers, and conservationists who are interested in multi-faceted impacts of climate change on forest insects at the organismal, population, and community-levels. The only book that addresses the impacts of global warming on bark beetles with feedback loops to forest patterns and processes Discusses altered disturbance regimes due to climate change with implications for bark beetles and associated organisms Led by a team of editors whose expertise includes entomology, pathology, ecology, forestry, modeling, and tree physiology

This report highlights past delivery of the land-based programs and progress of mountain pine beetle research during 2003 & 2004 by the Mountain Pine Beetle Initiative, a six-year program established to address the mountain pine beetle epidemic in western Canada and to reduce the risk of future such epidemics. After an introduction on the epidemic and the Initiative, the report summarizes the accomplishments of the Private Forestlands Rehabilitation Program, the Federal Forestlands Rehabilitation Program (First Nations, National Parks, and Other Federal Forestlands components), and the research & development program (including research on ecology, forest economics, socio-economic processes & risk reduction). Finally, the next steps in the land-based and research & development programs are discussed.

Bark and Wood Boring Insects in Living Trees in Europe, a Synthesis by François Lieutier,Keith R. Day,Andrea Battisti,Jean-Claude Grégoire,Hugh F. Evans Pdf

For the first time, a synthesis on the research work done in Europe on all Bark And Wood Boring Insects In Living Trees (BAWBILT) is presented. As final product of a four-year research project gathering together 100 scientists from 24 countries, the book is the fruit of a real collective synthesis in which all European specialists have participated. It reviews and comments on all the European literature, while considering the biological (trees, insects, associated organisms, and their relationships) and forest management aspects. However, although focused on the European forest, it also compares the available information and interpretations to those concerning similar species in other continents. It ends with propositions of research priorities for Europe. The book is directed to all scientists and students concerned with forest entomology and ecology, as well as to forest managers and all scientific public interested in forest biology.

Invasive Species in Forests and Rangelands of the United States by Therese M. Poland,Toral Patel-Weynand,Deborah M. Finch,Chelcy Ford Miniat,Deborah C. Hayes,Vanessa M. Lopez Pdf

This open access book describes the serious threat of invasive species to native ecosystems. Invasive species have caused and will continue to cause enormous ecological and economic damage with ever increasing world trade. This multi-disciplinary book, written by over 100 national experts, presents the latest research on a wide range of natural science and social science fields that explore the ecology, impacts, and practical tools for management of invasive species. It covers species of all taxonomic groups from insects and pathogens, to plants, vertebrates, and aquatic organisms that impact a diversity of habitats in forests, rangelands and grasslands of the United States. It is well-illustrated, provides summaries of the most important invasive species and issues impacting all regions of the country, and includes a comprehensive primary reference list for each topic. This scientific synthesis provides the cultural, economic, scientific and social context for addressing environmental challenges posed by invasive species and will be a valuable resource for scholars, policy makers, natural resource managers and practitioners.
