“…More emphasis has been placed on the effects of tree variables such as monoterpene content or phloem thickness and moisture on reproduction and performance of beetles within hosts ( Haack et al , 1984;Villa-Castillo & Wagner, 1996;Reid & Robb, 1999;Hindmarch & Reid, 2001;Redmer et al , 2001 ) than on the preferences of beetles attacking live trees. It is known that high resin flow, thick bark and host volatiles of living pines can deter or interfere with bark beetle attack preferences ( Raffa et al , 1993;Lieutier, 2002 ).…”

1 The present study investigated the influence of tree size and bole position on selection of ponderosa pines ( Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws.) by Ips pini Say (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) in a northern Arizona forest. Ips pini were attracted to lower and upper bole positions with pheromone lures, and the number of attacks counted. In addition, tree phloem and bark thickness, resin flow in response to wounding and characteristics of tree water and carbon relations were all measured. 2 Bark thickness was the most strongly related tree characteristic to number of I. pini attacks. Thin bark and a high number of attacks occurred at the lower bole position of 10-cm diameter trees and upper bole positions of 23-, 35-, and 50-cm diameter trees. 3 Phloem thickness increased directly with tree size, was greater at the upper bole compared with the lower bole, but was not associated with number of attacks. 4 Resin flow did not differ strongly over tree sizes or bole positions, and was not related to number of I. pini attacks. Attacks were not related to characteristics of tree carbon and water relations measured during I. pini flights.

“…For example, the mean colonization density among natural I. typographus attacks on live trees was 2.6× that of the same species on dead trees. Thus, the pre-colonization condition of the host, by requiring many colonizers to overcome its resistance, is an important source of reduced per capita replacement, even though healthy trees may provide a superior nutritional substrate (Haack et al 1984(Haack et al , 1987Reid & Robb 1999) and yield more total brood.…”

Chemical, physiological and behavioral components of pheromone communication have been described for a number of bark beetle species, yet our understanding of how these signals function under natural conditions remains relatively limited. Development of ecologically based models is complicated by the multiple functions and sources of variability inherent in bark beetle semiochemistry. This discussion addresses four ecological issues of chemical signaling in bark beetles: the effects of aggregation on individual fitness, the possibility of cheating, how plants can defend themselves against herbivores that employ aggregation pheromones, and the implications of variability in chemical communication systems to predator avoidance.

“…Phloem moisture content and thickness are the main limiting factors to Ips development within logs (Anderson, 1948;Haack et al, 1984Haack et al, , 1987, and phloem condition should be affected by actions suggested in slash management guidelines. Among slash management techniques, scattering logging debris in open areas to promote rapid drying has been recommended to reduce the risk of pine engraver outbreaks (Livingston, 1979).…”
