“…Similar results have been reported for adult Monochamus alternatus Hope, which preferred to feed on Pinus koraiensis Sieb. & Zucc., regardless of the pine from which they emerged (Futai et al, 1994), and also for M. carolinensis (Olivier) in North America, for which larval host did not influence adult feeding host preference (Walsh & Linit, 1984). Like M. galloprovincialis, M. carolinensis also preferred to feed on branches of the introduced Scots pine rather than on indigenous North American pines (Walsh & Linit, 1984), but the beetles used in that experiment had been reared on Scots pine for many generations.…”

Feeding and oviposition preferences of Monochamus galloprovincialis (Olivier) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Monochamini), the vector of the pine wilt nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner and Bührer) Nickle (Nematoda: Aphelenchoididae), in Portugal, was studied in three laboratory experiments: an adult feeding preference trial between branches of five pines, a no-choice oviposition experiment on seven conifer bolts, and an oviposition choice trial between maritime pine, Pinus pinaster Aiton, and four other pines, P. pinea L., P. sylvestris L., P. halepensis Miller, or P. radiata D. Don. Scots pine ( P. sylvestris ) was the pine with the largest bark feeding area, while P. radiata was the least chosen to feed upon. Female M. galloprovincialis laid eggs on P. sylvestris , P. halepensis , P. pinaster , P. radiata , P. pinea , and Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirbel) Franco, but larvae successfully completed development only on the first four pines. Beetles emerging from maritime pine bolts were slightly bigger than the others. No preference for oviposition was detected when beetles were given the choice between P. pinaster and P. sylvestris or P. halepensis . Inversely, greater oviposition occurred on P. pinaster when compared with P. pinea and P. radiata. Although PWN currently affects only P. pinaster in Portugal, the results on host suitability for M. galloprovincialis suggest that P. sylvestris and P. halepensis are adequate hosts for the insect's feeding and oviposition, and thus may also be PWN hosts in Europe. The systematically high feeding and oviposition attraction for P. sylvestris exhibited by the beetles means that the eventual spread of the PWN to areas where both M. galloprovincialis and P. sylvestris occur may have a significant impact on this widespread and economically important pine, considered to be highly susceptible to B. xylophilus.

“…titillator feed for about 3 weeks before they commence oviposition (Alya & Hain, 1985). Adults live for considerable periods in the field, for example activity periods, including oviposition, of up to 83 days were recorded for M carolinensis in the USA (Walsh & Linit, 1984). The span of the fight period for populations of Monochamus spp.…”

An analysis of the risk to the countries of the European Union from a possible introduction of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus and its vectors in the genus Monochamus is performed by assembling relevant biological, climatic and commercial information. The risks presented by different trade pathways are assessed and phytosanitary measures to reduce the risks are proposed. The conclusion of the PRA, based on EPPO PRA guideline no. 1, is that these pests present a serious risk to European coniferous forests.

“…Although the causes of the very low ingested amount and longevity in S. verticillata were not clear, deterrent compounds are a likely explanation. For M. carolinensis , P. sylvestris is preferred, with less preference for P. echinata and P. strobus (Walsh & Linit ). For M. galloprovincialis , the reproductive potential is also increased when the beetle develops on P. sylvestris compared with P. nigra (Akbulut ).…”

Monochamus saltuarius was recently identified as an important vector of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, the cause of pine wilt disease. In this study, M. saltuarius adults preferred different species of tree based on the longevity, ingested amount and wounded area that were determined for 90 d. Among eight tree species, the longevity of feeding by M. saltuarius was not significantly different except when feeding in Sciadopitys verticillata. However, the highest ingested amounts with the largest wounded areas were associated with Pinus koraiensis. The highest oviposition preference was in P. densiflora for the first 20 d. However, after 40 d, the oviposition highest preference was noted in P. koraiensis. For oviposition activities, M. saltuarius preferred the tree species in the following order: P. densiflora > P. koraiensis > P. rigida > Larix leptolepis. Although many oviposition scars were observed, M. saltuarius laid fewer eggs in P. rigida than other species of pine, which was related to the bark thickness. The oviposition frequencies were highest with bark 2.0–2.5 mm thick and with tree diameters of 110–130 mm. The current study increased understanding of the ecology of M. saltuarius by identifying specific tree preferences.
