“…The higher capture rates obtained with the ethanol-methanol mixture compared with that obtained when methanol was tested separately indicates a true synergistic effect and confirms previous observations by Mendoza Mora (1991), Mathieu (1995) and da Silva et al (2006). Similarly, the synergistic attractant effect of methanol and ())a-pinene mixture was previously reported for Tomicus piniperda (L.) (Curculionidae: Scolytinae) by Schroeder and Lindelö w (1989), Vité et al (1986) and Zumr (1989).…”

Mass trapping is a technique currently being considered to control the coffee berry borer (CBB), Hypothenemus hampei Ferrari (Col., Scolytidae), as part of the integrated management of its populations. However, the research undertaken in this field has variable and sometimes contradictory results. The purpose of this study carried out with a single type of trap (experimental model ‘1B’) was to evaluate the technique and define parameters for its efficient use. The first result obtained was detection of the excellent attractant properties of the ethanol–methanol mixture, and its efficiency related to the proportion of the two alcohols. Coffee borers were not attracted to traps with caffeine, green coffee powder, freshly pulped and hulled coffee berries and ground CBB. It was shown that the ethanol–methanol mixture (1 : 1) release rate varied without affecting the capture rate, and that the red colour of the trap substantially increased CBB attraction. In terms of trap set‐up, it was found that capture rates were three times better with a trap height at 1.2 m, than that for a position near ground level. In addition, the best density of traps for achieving efficient mass trapping was 22 units per hectare. These results show the importance of developing an attractant using pure compounds, and of improving the trap and the trapping technique in line with CBB behaviour.

Pine monoterpenes and pine bark beetles: a marriage of convenience for defense and chemical communication

et al. 2006

Pine-feeding bark beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) interact chemically with their host pines (Coniferales: Pinaceae) via the behavioral, physiological, and biochemical effects of one class of isoprenoids, the monoterpenes and their derivatives. Pine monoterpenes occur in the oleoresin and function as behaviorally active kairomones for pine bark beetles and their predators, presenting a classic example of tritrophic chemical communication. The monoterpenes are also essential co-attractants for pine bark beetle aggregation pheromones. Ironically, pine monoterpenes are also toxic physiologically to bark beetles at high vapor concentrations and are considered an important component of the defense of pines. Research over the last 30 years has demonstrated that some bark beetle aggregation pheromones arise through oxygenation of monoterpenes, linking pheromone biosynthesis to the host pines. Over the last 10 years, however, several frequently occurring oxygenated monoterpene pheromone components (e.g., ipsenol, ipsdienol and frontalin) have also been shown to arise through highly regulated de novo pathways in the beetles (reviewed in Seybold and Tittiger, 2003). The most interesting nexus between these insects and their plant hosts involves the latestage reactions in the monoterpenoid biosynthetic pathway, during which isomeric dimethylallyl diphosphate and isopentenyl diphosphate are ultimately elaborated to stereospecific monoterpenes in the trees and to hydroxylated monoterpenes or bicyclic acetals in the insects. There is signal stereospecificity in both production of and response to the monoterpenoid aggregation pheromones of bark beetles and in response to the monoterpenes of the pines. In the California fivespined ips, Ips paraconfusus, we Dedicated to Professor David L. Wood on the occasion of his 75th birthdayÓ Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2006have discovered a number of cytochome P450 genes that have expression patterns indicating that they may be involved in detoxifying monoterpene secondary metabolites and/or biosynthesizing pheromone components. Both processes result in the production of oxygenated monoterpenes, likely with varying degrees of stereospecificity. A behavioral analysis of the stereospecific response of I. paraconfusus to its pheromone is providing new insights into the development of an efficacious bait for the detection of this polyphagous insect in areas outside the western United States. In contrast, a Eurasian species that has arrived in California, the Mediterranean pine engraver, Orthotomicus (Ips) erosus, utilizes both a monoterpenoid (ipsdienol) and a hemiterpenoid (2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol) in its pheromone blend. The stereospecificity of the response of O. erosus to the monoterpenoid appears to be the key factor to the improved potency of the attractant bait for this invasive species.

“…Schroeder and Eidmann (1987) found that T. piniperda was attracted to sticky traps baited with fresh pine chips and that attacks could be induced on healthy Scots pine trees by baiting them with ethanol or with (–)‐α‐pinene, (+)‐3‐carene and terpinolene, either separately or mixed together. The addition of ethanol, a degradation product from the phloem of weakened and dying trees, to α‐pinene can either increase (Zumr, 1989) or decrease (Schroeder, 1988) attraction by T. piniperda . The response by T. piniperda appears to be dependent on the ratio and release rates of α‐pinene and ethanol (Schroeder, 1988) and on ambient temperatures (Czokajlo and Teale, 1999).…”

1 The pine shoot beetle, Tomicus piniperda (L.) (Coleoptera: Scolytidae), is an exotic pest of pine, Pinus spp., and was first discovered in North America in 1992. 2 Although primary attraction to host volatiles has been clearly demonstrated for T. piniperda, the existence and role of secondary attraction to insect-produced pheromones have been widely debated. 3 Currently, commercial lures for T. piniperda include only the host volatiles a-pinene in North America and a-pinene, terpinolene and (þ)-3-carene in Europe. Several potential pheromone candidates have been identified for T. piniperda. 4 We tested various combinations of host volatiles and pheromone candidates in Michigan, U.S.A., and Ontario, Canada, to determine an optimal blend. 5 Attraction of T. piniperda was significantly increased when trans-verbenol (95% pure, 3.2% cis-verbenol content) was added with or without myrtenol to a-pinene or to blends of a-pinene and other kairomones and pheromone candidates. 6 Our results, together with other research demonstrating that trans-verbenol is produced by T. piniperda, support the designation of trans-verbenol as a pheromone for T. piniperda. A simple operational lure consisting of a-pinene and trans-verbenol is recommended for optimal attraction of T. piniperda.
