“…In addition to chemical cues, A. malasiaca use visual cues so that traps with visual targets may be effective. Since the increase of trap catches are reported after combinations of male sex pheromone and floral attractant or host volatiles in the longicorn beetle, Anaglyptus subfasciatus and Tetropium fuscum (Nakamuta et al, 1997;Silk et al, 2007), combinations of two or more factors may be effective. An alternative insecticide system is also considered: contact with insecticide that would kill the beetle.…”

“…However, only a few reports clarify attractive chemicals in the plant volatiles and attraction of the beetles in the field (Sakai and Yamasaki, 1990;Allison et al, 2004 references cited therein). In Tetropium fuscum and T. cinnamopterum (Spondylinae), male-produced pheromone plus host plant volatiles attract more adults in the field (Silk et al, 2007). Outside the family Cerambycidae, males of a cockchafer (Melolontha spp.…”

The mating sequence has been studied in the white-spotted longicorn beetle, Anoplophora malasiaca (Thomson) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae). Both females and males are attracted to wounded host plant Citrus unshiu, and adults of both sexes, and both female and male elytra contained the sesquiterpenes that were identical with those in C. unshiu. Moreover, at close range orientation by males, some visual cues derived from females acted synergistically with olfactory factors. And, female contact sex pheromone was isolated from female elytra and revealed to consist of eight hydrocarbons, four ketones, and three lactones. The mating sequence of A. malasiaca was roughly considered to occur as follows. Emerged adults from trunks of the host plants must search for their mates over large areas. Highly mobile males may be attracted from long distances by the signal of sesquiterpenes released from wounded host plants which indicate the presence of other individuals and serve for intraspecific communication in A. malasiaca. At close range orientation, the sesquiterpenes also act as attractant for both females and males, and then visual cue guided them to their mates or rivals. After a male orients to another individual, he identifies it as a mate or a rival. Once a male recognizes a female, mating occurs.

“…For example, males of many species in the subfamily Cerambycinae produce pheromones composed of isomers of 3-hydroxy-2-hexanone and/or 2,3-hexanediol, to which both sexes are attracted (Lacey et al 2004(Lacey et al , 2007(Lacey et al , 2008Hanks et al 2007). Similarly, the terpenoid alcohol (E)-6,10-dimethyl-5,9-undecadien-2-ol, termed "fuscumol", is a male-produced pheromone of some species in the subfamily Aseminae (Silk et al 2007), but the same compound and its acetate have recently been shown to attract many species in the subfamily Lamiinae as well (Mitchell et al 2011).…”

Blending Synthetic Pheromones of Cerambycid Beetles to Develop Trap Lures That Simultaneously Attract Multiple Species

et al. 2012

We evaluated attraction of cerambycid beetle species to blends of known cerambycid pheromones to determine whether such blends could be used as effective trap lures for detecting and monitoring multiple species simultaneously. Pheromone-baited traps captured 1,358 cerambycid beetles, of which 1,101 (81.1%) belonged to three species in the subfamily Cerambycinae: Neoclytus acuminatus (F.), Neoclytus mucronatus (F.), and Xylotrechus colonus (F.). Beetles of these species were significantly attracted to synthetic blends that contained their pheromone components (isomers of 3-hydroxy-2-hexanone and/or 2,3-hexanediol), despite the presence of pheromone components of different species, including other isomers of 2,3-hexanediol, (E/Z)-6,10-dimethyl-5,9-undecadien-2-yl acetate, and citral. In some cases attraction was partially inhibited by the pheromone components of heterospecific species, whereas for N. acuminatus, attraction was completely inhibited when blends contained (2R*,3S*)-hexanediol, the racemic mixture of diastereomers of its pheromone, (2S,3S)-hexanediol. Among the remaining beetles captured were three species in the subfamily Lamiinae: Astyleiopus variegatus (Haldeman), Graphisurus fasciatus (Degeer), and Lepturges angulatus (LeConte). All three lamiine species were previously known to be attracted to (E/Z)-6,10-dimethyl-5,9-undecadien-2-yl acetate, and were captured in significant numbers by blends containing that compound. Our results suggest that different types of cerambycid pheromones can be combined to create effective multi-species lures for use in surveillance programs that target exotic cerambycid species.iii Acknowledgments

“…This type of hybridisation can occur when two closely related species are brought together through anthropogenic actions (e.g., inadvertent long distance dispersal facilitated by international trade) that place these species geographically close enough together. The introduction of exotic insects may also lead to interspecific hybridisation; as determined by Silk et al (2007) and used by Rhainds et al (2011), the exotic T. fuscum and the native T. cinnamopterum share a common sex/aggregation pheromone. This leads to the question "What is the potential for intraspecific hybridisation between these species that respond to the same pheromone?…”

Evolving symbioses between insects and fungi that kill trees in Canada: new threats associated with invasive organisms

Abstract-Symbiotic relationships between insects and fungi are known to cause tree mortality either through direct damage by larval feeding that can be facilitated by symbiotic fungi, or through insects vectoring pathogens directly to healthy trees. Within their native ranges, the impacts of many insect-fungus symbioses are restricted to weakened and declining trees; however, within the last century tree mortality caused by globally invasive insect-fungus associations has had a devastating impact on trees in both urban and natural forest ecosystems. Unfortunately, Canadian forests have been seriously affected by invasive organisms and an emerging threat is the expansion of a native bark beetle into the boreal forest of Alberta. This paper reviews the symbiotic relationships between selected invasive insects and pathogens that cause tree mortality within the urban and forested landscapes of Canada; it uses these case studies to illustrate potentially damaging new evolutionary trajectories.
