“…Forest edges and open stands might be preferred habitat for Cerambicidae because of increased light levels (Barbalat 1996). However, Shigo et al (1973) found little difference in percentage of trees attacked by G. speciosus between cut and uncut stands. Some species of wood-borers have greater reproductive success when ovipostion occurs on stressed or damaged trees (Rose and Lindquist 1997).…”

“…Damaged or stressed trees in open or thinned forests serve as ideal oviposition sites for the maple borer. Shigo et al (1973) and Hopkin and Howse (1998) found more borer damage along roadsides than within forest stands. Newton and Allen (1982) suggest that topographical or site characteristics play a role in the spatial distribution of attacked trees.…”

“…The sugar maple borer (Glycobius speciosus Say) is the most important of the hardwood cerambicids in eastern North America (Talerico 1962, Shigo et al 1973, Newton and Allen 1982, Bauce and Allen 1992. Normally, populations of this borer are low (Rose and Lindquist 1997), although instances of up to 50% of the trees attacked in an infested stand have been recorded (Sendak et al 1997).…”

“…Larvae hatch and tunnel through the bark to the sapwood where they feed until mid-to late summer the following year (Hesterberg et al 1976). The larval gallery cuts obliquely across the conductive tissue during this first year (Talerico 1962, Shigo et al 1973, Rose and Lindquist 1997. In the second year, the larvae move upwards, often tunnelling deep within the wood (Hestedm-g et al 1976, Sendak et al 1997.…”

A potential long-term threat to ice-damaged forests exists from decays, stains, and wood-boring insects. Damage to large branches or to the main stem can result in heartwood decay, particularly in older or less healthy trees. However, in branch stubs with a diameter of less than 7.5 cm, decay progresses to only a limited degree. Stem damage is not usual after ice storms. However, sunscald is common in sugar maple stands with damaged crowns, sometimes resulting in infection by the sap rot fungus Cerrena unicolor. Fungi of the genera Ophiostoma, Ceratocystis and Ceratocystiopsis (blue stains) can cause significant staining to standing timber in damaged softwood stands; however, these fungi do not cause structural damage. Bark beetles (scolytidae) and wood-borers (buprestidae and cerambycidae), which attack damaged trees in northeastern North America are normally secondary invaders. However, thinning of the canopy from ice damage could cause increased infestation by these insects.Key words: ice storm, decay, fungi, beetle Une menace potentielle B long terme pour les for2ts endommagees par le verglas existe sous la forme de pourritures, dCcolorations et insectes perceurs du bois.

“…If I did not at first find scars, I continued to survey until I had exhausted the likelihood of a false negative, usually examining well over 100 mature sugar maple trees during a period of more than an hour. Given that the beetle attacks approximately a third of the maples present in forests where the beetle occurs [10,15], finding this many unaffected trees sequentially when the beetle has been present is extremely unlikely [9]. Surveying both sides of the predicted boundary in new locations, even with a small number of sites, is a strong test of the model [16].…”

Dispersal Kernel Determines Symmetry of Spread and Geographical Range for an Insect

The distance from a source patch that dispersing insects reach depends on the number of dispersers, or random draws from a probability density function called a dispersal kernel, and the shape of that kernel. This can cause asymmetrical dispersal between habitat patches that produce different numbers of dispersers. Spatial distributions based on these dynamics can explain several ecological patterns including megapopulations and geographic range boundaries. I hypothesized that a locally extirpated longhorned beetle, the sugar maple borer, has a new geographical range shaped primarily by probabilistic dispersal distances. I used data on occurrence from Ontario, Canada to construct a model of geographical range in Indiana, USA based on maximum dispersal distance scaled by habitat area. This model predicted the new range boundary within 500 m very accurately. This beetle may be an ideal organism for exploring spatial dynamics driven by dispersal.

Glycobius speciosus (Say) was studied in New York State to elucidate poorly known aspects of its biology. Head capsule size from excavated larvae coupled with gallery lengths measured at the time of excavation was used to characterize larval development. Partial life tables indicated nearly 20% of G. speciosus survive to adulthood. Larvae experienced 30% of their mortality during early development, 27% during mid-larval development, and 43% during late larval development. Predation by hairy woodpeckers, Dryobates villosus (Linnaeus) (Piciformes: Picidae), the only unambiguous source of mortality, accounted for 43% mortality in naturally infested trees located and followed 2004–2009, and 74% late instar mortality. One parasitoid, Dolichomitus irritator (Fabricius) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae), was recovered from a single larva. Beetles emerged between 316 accumulated DD (base 10 °C) and 648 DD. Males emerged prior to, or simultaneously with, females and lived longer. Female fecundity averaged 41.3 ± 6 eggs. Larval eclosion occurred 7–10 days after oviposition. Non-functional ovipositors observed in 16% of females represented an appreciable reproductive loss. In 77% of infested trees 1 oviposition site was located and in 70% of oviposition sites examined only 1 or 2 larvae successfully eclosed, penetrated the bark to the phloem-xylem interface, and began feeding. Beetles preferred southern and eastern aspects for oviposition which occurred preferentially on the lower bole (<20 cm). Male beetles had longer and wider antennae than females, pronotal pits containing gland pores, and a straight to concave posterior margin of the terminal sternite compared to the more rounded margin of females.
