纵坑切梢小蠹蛀梢期空间分布

在昆明地区,纵坑切梢小蠹(Tomicus piniperda)成虫蛀梢多集中在蛀干木附近。 种群密度以蛀干木为中心向周围呈指数递减,散布半径约30m。在蛀梢过程中,该种群逐渐向新区扩张。在树冠内,纵坑切梢小蠹主要分布在4-10轮枝上。第7轮枝虫口百分率最高。6-7轮枝受害率最大。 树冠上层受害较其下层严重。从树冠水平层次考察,树冠外层虫量相对集中,约为树冠中、内层虫量之和。 树冠内层虫量最少。纵坑切梢小蠹在树冠内的种群分布系由梢径、种群密度、蛀梢行为、降落方式、光照等因素综合影响的结果。

Oviposition behavior and reproductive success of the cerambycid Acanthocinus aedilis in the presence and absence of the bark beetle Tomicus piniperda

The influence of Tomicus piniperda (L.)(Col.:Scolytidae) attacks on Acanthocinus aedilis (L.)(Col.:Cerambycidae) (1) oviposition behavior, (2) breeding material preference and (3) reproductive success was investigated in caged pine bolts with and without egg galleries of T. piniperda. In addition, A. aedilis oviposition behavior was studied in the field. In the presence of T. piniperda attacks most A. aedilis eggs were laid through the entrance holes of the bark beetle egg galleries. In the absence of bark beetle attacks most A. aedilis eggs were laid at places where the outer bark had been damaged and the phloem was exposed. In cages, A. aedilis preferred to oviposit in bolts with bark beetle attacks. Thus, A. aedilis oviposited in all 17 of bark beetle attacked bolts but in only four of nine bolts without T. piniperda attacks. Neither the number of A. aedilis offspring nor the body size of emerging adults differed significantly between bolts attacked by bark beetles and unattacked bolts. Nor was there any significant relationship between the density of bark beetle egg galleries and the production of A. aedilis offspring.     

Evaluation of semiochemicals potentially synergistic to α-pinene for trapping the larger European pine shoot beetle, Tomicus piniperda (Col., Scolytidae)

Abstract:  The pine shoot beetle, Tomicus piniperda (L.) (Col., Scolytidae) is an exotic pest of pine, Pinus spp., in North America. It is attracted strongly to host volatiles (±)- α -pinene, (+)-3-carene, and α -terpinolene. Attraction to insect-produced compounds is less clear. Other potential attractants include trans -verbenol, myrtenol, myrtenal, nonanal and α -pinene oxide. We conducted a series of field experiments to determine if any of these compounds would increase attraction of T. piniperda to α -pinene, either individually or in various combinations. None of the individual compounds increased attraction. Although several combinations that included trans -verbenol, nonanal, myrtenol, or myrtenal increased attraction, results were variable between experiments.     

Monoterpenes governing host selection in the bark beetles Hylurgops palliatus and Tomicus piniperda

Under field conditions, both bark beetles, Hylurgops palliatus Gyll. and Tomicus piniperda L. (Col., Scolytidae) preferred flight barrier traps baited with ethanol and oleoresin of their favoured host, Picea abies L., and Pinus sylvestris L., respectively, compared to traps baited with ethanol and various monoterpenes. However, replacing the host-specific oleoresin with -pinene and the pine-characteristic terpinolene enhanced trap catches of both species. Response of H. palliatus increased with myrtenol, but decreased with (+)-trans-verbenol, while T. piniperda was attracted by both terpene alcohols.

Zusammenfassung Die Lockwirkung wirtsspezifischer Terpenmuster auf die sekundären Rindenbrüter Hylurgops palliatus und Tomicus piniperda wird im Freiland untersucht. Beide Arten fliegen bevorzugt Fallen an, die mit Ethanol und dem Rohharz ihrer Wirtsbäume, Picea abies bzw. Pinus sylvestris, beködert sind. Der Ersatz der Rohharze durch eine Mischung aus -Pinen und dem für Kiefernharz charakteristischen Terpinolen erhöht die Fangzahlen beider Arten deutlich. Die Präferenzen für Monoterpene deuten unterschiedlich enge Wirtsbindungen an: Bei breitem Wirtsspektrum bevorzugt H. palliatus wenig spezifische Terpene und hohe Ethanol-Konzentrationen, der zur Monophagie an Frischholz neigende Waldgärtner T. piniperda jedoch geringe Ethanol-Konzentrationen und spezifische Terpenkombinationen. H. palliatus wird von dem Terpenalkohol (-)-Myrtenol deutlich angelockt, während das von aggressiven Scolytiden bekannte Pheromon (+)-trans-Verbenol seinen Anflug im Gegensatz zu T. piniperda zu hemmen scheint.

     

Hierarchical structure of mitochondrial lineages of Tomicus destruens (Coleoptera,Scolytidae) related to environmental variables

We investigated here the relation of environmental variables with the distribution of mitochondrial lineages using a bark beetle species of Mediterranean distribution as a model. We analysed a total number of 460 DNA sequences of Tomicus destruens provided by intensive and extensive collection and GenBank entries. We combined phylogeography and regression models to study the role of five environmental predictors at fine scale in the distribution of a local genealogy. The analysis revealed a high genetic diversity, with 52 haplotypes present in Sierra Espuña forest (SE Spain) and 21 haplotypes in the other 14 Spanish populations, all included in the western clade of the Mediterranean phylogeography of the species. We found a micro‐distribution of the species related to altitude and putative niche segregation between lineages associated with the micro‐environmental conditions of their host pine trees. We compared the phylogeographic hypothesis obtained here with the phylogeography obtained integrating our data with all data published elsewhere. Here, we demonstrate a relation between the environmental heterogeneity and the haplotypic diversity at Mediterranean Basin scale. This analysis allows us to support the evolutionary scenario where the phylogeography and current molecular diversity of T. destruens is a consequence of the recolonization from two principal refugia at both extremes of the Mediterranean Basin and, according to our data, we propose that the heterogeneity of habitats allows fixation of the mitochondrial lineages.

利用信息化学物质研究松树小蠹虫的扬飞规律

于2005～2006年在辽宁省千山利用信息化学物质野外诱捕黄色梢小蠹Gryphalus fulvus、红松根小蠹Hylastes plumbeus、横坑切梢小蠹Tomicus minor及纵坑切梢小蠹Tomicus piniperda成虫,结果显示:这4种小蠹在4月18日至8月10日期间都明显出现2次扬飞高峰。第1次扬飞高峰持续均为30d左右,第2次扬飞高峰期约为15d;黄色梢小蠹和红松根小蠹第1次扬飞高峰期在5月上中旬出现,第2次扬飞高峰期分别在7月中下旬和上中旬;横坑切梢小蠹与纵坑切梢小蠹的扬飞高峰期基本一致,第1次扬飞高峰期为4月下旬到5月上旬,第2次扬飞高峰在7月上中旬;结果同时还表明诱虫量第1次扬飞高峰一般都明显大于第2次,只是黄色梢小蠹在首次利用信息化学物质进行监测且密度较高时例外。     

Oviposition and development of the immature stages of Tomicus minor (Coleoptera, Scolytidae)

1 This paper describes the construction process of the brood gallery of Tomicus minor and its total length as well as the length of each arm, the fertile part where the female lays her eggs and also, the infertile part. >2 The presence of the parents during the process and their position in the brood gallery (arms or mating chamber) is studied and how it influences the number of eggs laid. Both the first brood galleries and those burrowed by the repenetrating females were observed. 3 The development and duration of the immature stages of the insect in the 3-year study period, from laying to the emergence of the young beetles from the F₁ generation, were also studied.
