“…Parasitism was capable of causing considerable mortality during the larval stage. It frequently has been observed that some parasitoids attack larvae of other secondary cerambycid beetles such as Monochamus alternatus Hope (O chi and K atagiri , 1979; T aketune , 1983; T ogashi , 1990), Acanthocinus griseus F. (U rano and H ijii , 1991), Tetropium parvulum Casey (R aske , 1973), and Callidiellum rufipenne Motschulsky (S hibata , 1994). Although no parasitism by living trees (untreated trees) was observed (table 2), parasitism of I. sapporensis was observed in stem‐cut trees in experiment 1 and in trees of both treatments in experiment 2 (table 2).…”

Bark borer Semanotus japonicus (Col., Cerambycidae) utilization of Japanese cedar Cryptomeria japonica: a delicate balance between a primary and secondary insect

The bark borer, Semanotus japonicus (Col., Cerambycidae), attacks living Japanese cedar, Cryptomeria japonica, with newly hatched larvae mainly feeding within the inner bark of the trunk. To understand how S. japonicus is affected by host nutrition and resin flow, newly hatched larvae were introduced into stressed cedar trees. Stress was induced by either heavy pruning, stem cutting (i.e. removing the side branches and top of tree), or girdling. Larval mortality due to resin flow in the ‘heavy pruning treatment’ and the ‘stem cutting treatment’ tended to be lower than that in the untreated control cedar trees where all larvae were drowned by resin flow. Parasitism to the larval stage was observed in the stem‐cutting trees, not in living trees, suggesting that S. japonicus may avoid parasitism in living cedar trees because few volatiles are produced. In the ‘stem‐girdling treatment’, although more than 90% of the introduced larvae died due to poor nutrition below the girdle, 7.8% of the larvae above the girdle reached the adult stage. The live body weight of the adults collected from above the girdle was similar to those taken from naturally infested cedar trees. These results suggest that S. japonicus requires adequate host nutrition but that larvae are defenceless against high resin flow. Thus, S. japonicus seems to be in a transition state between being primary or secondary with respect to its attack behavior on living cedar trees.

Woodborers are an ecologically important guild in forested ecosystems and include Buprestidae, Cerambycidae, and Siricidae. Members of these families contribute to various ecological processes including nutrient cycling and forest succession, and are also important components of food webs. Most woodborers encountered in forests are secondary species that rarely kill trees, however, important invasive species like Asian longhorned beetle, emerald ash borer, and Sirex noctilio can have broad ranging impacts on urban, managed, and natural forests. This chapter provides a broad overview of three woodborer families, including information on natural history, abiotic and biotic population regulation factors, ecological roles, chemical ecology, management, and a brief overview of economically important species.

This investigation into the natural history and behavior of 81 species of cerambycid beetles suggests that reproductive behavior is correlated with the condition of the larval host: Adults of species whose larvae attack living trees tend to show behavioral differences from those that attack dying or dead hosts. Behavioral differences among species that are associated with larval host condition include: (a) choice of adult food source and whether adults feed at all; (b) mechanisms of mate location and the role of long-range pheromones; (c) vagility and dispersal behaviors of adults; (d) location of the mating site; and (e) duration of copulation.
