“…Each simulated mill yard consisted of nine Scotch pine logs infested with T. piniperda and 42 uninfested red pine, Pinus resinosa Ait., logs. Fluorescent pigments appear to have no negative effect on emergence, flight initiation, or semiochemical perception of bark beetle species that have been tested (Cook and Hain 1992). The uninfested red pine logs (13.1 f 0.1 cm, mean f SE, diameter at base) were obtained from a 50year-old red pine plantation near Newaygo, Newaygo County, Michigan.…”

DISPERSAL OF TOMICUS PINIPERDA (COLEOPTERA: SCOLYTIDAE) FROM OPERATIONAL AND SIMULATED MILL YARDS

The Canadian Entomologist 132: 853 -866 (2000) The pine shoot beetle, Tomicus piniperda (L.), is an exotic pest that is regulated by federal quarantines in the United States and Canada. Mark-release-recapture experiments were performed with infested logs coated with fluorescent powder to determine if overwintering beetles in logs would leave a mill yard if infested logs were transported to sawmills in uninfested areas. Overwintering T. piniperda adults were marked with powder as they emerged in spring. Dispersal studies were conducted in four simulated mill yards and five operational sawmills to determine whether T. piniperda would colonize only the log pile in which they overwintered, fly to nearby log piles, or disperse beyond the mill yard. Each simulated mill yard was composed of 36 uninfested red pine logs, Pinus resinosa Ait. (Pinaceae), and 12 a-pinene-baited funnel traps set up to 100 m from a central release pile of six uninfested red pine and nine infested logs of Scotch pine, Pinus sylvestris L. At the five operational sawmills, baited funnel traps were set up to 400 m outside of each mill yard. Overall, 482 T. piniperda galleries were found on the experimental logs recovered from the four simulated mill yards combined. Tomicus piniperda adults dispersed and attacked the most distant logs at 100 m from the release point in the simulated mill yards. Likewise, adults were captured in baited funnel traps at distances up to 230 m in simulated mill yards and 250 m around operational sawmills. Although numbers of recaptured T. piniperda were generally low, in all cases some adults dispersed outside the mill yards despite the presence of abundant suitable breeding material. Therefore, logs containing overwintering adults pose a risk of spreading T. piniperda if not processed prior to initiation of spring flight.

“…Although some studies have reported no significant effects of marking on some aspects of behaviour (Schmitz 1980;Linton et al 1987;Naranjo 1990;Salom and McLean 1990;Cook and Hain 1992), Messing et al (1993) found a significant difference in recapture rates of marked parasitoid wasps, with more unmarked individuals caught with sticky traps. This decrease in recapture rate may be due to decreased survivorship before dispersal (Messing et al 1993) or to differential behaviour related to the marking as discussed earlier.…”

Fluorescent powder marking reduces condition but not survivorship in adult mountain pine beetles

We investigated the impact of different fluorescent marking powders on both survivorship and daily body condition, measured as mass/volume ratio, using adult mountain pine beetles, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), in a laboratory study. Initial condition of the marked beetle groups did not differ from that of an unmarked group. However, beetles in better initial condition survived longer, thus validating our condition index. The condition but not the survivorship of mountain pine beetles was affected by the marking treatment. Overall, the condition of beetles declined over time. The condition of marked beetles decreased at a higher rate than that of unmarked beetles while alive but at a lower rate after death. This pattern of decreasing condition suggests that marked beetles lost water faster than unmarked beetles while alive, so unmarked beetles had more water to lose after death. Because reduced condition may affect optimal dispersal behaviour, we suggest that these effects be routinely examined and minimized in mark-recapture studies.Résumé-Nous avons étudié l'impact de poudres fluorescentes de marquage sur la survie et sur la condition journalière, mesurée par le rapport masse/volume (mg/mm 3 ), dans une étude en laboratoire de dendroctones du pin ponderosa, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae). La condition initiale des coléoptères est semblable dans les groupes marqués et non marqués. Cependant, les coléoptères en meilleure condition initiale survivent plus longtemps, ce qui confirme la validité de notre indice de condition. Le marquage affecte la condition, mais non la survie, des dendroctones du pin ponderosa. Globalement, la condition des coléoptères diminue avec le temps. La condition des coléoptères marqués décline plus rapidement que celle des coléoptères non marqués durant leur vie; après la mort, leur taux de déclin est plus lent. Ce patron de déclin de la condition laisse croire que les coléoptères marqués perdent de l'eau plus rapidement que les non marqués durant leur vie, si bien qu'après la mort, les coléoptères non marqués ont plus d'eau à perdre. Parce qu'une condition inférieure peut affecter le comportement optimal de dispersion, nous suggérons d'examiner systématiquement ces effets et de les minimiser dans les études de marquage et de recapture.[Traduit par la Rédaction] Reid and Reid 588

“…We observed the beetles flying in the outdoor cage; the powder did not appear to inhibit flight activity or otherwise alter their behavior. Studies on the influence of marking methods for chrysomelids and other beetles have found no effects of this powder on flight ability, chemosensitivity, or survivorship for at least 10 days after marking (Naranjo 1990;Cook and Hain 1992).…”

The ability of an insect to disperse to new habitat patches is difficult to quantify, but key to the establishment and persistence of populations. In this study, we examined dispersal of the phytophagous chrysomelid beetle, Galerucella calmariensis, which is currently being introduced into North America for the biological control of purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria), an aggressive wetland weed. We used a mark, release, and recapture approach to determine how rates of colonization of host patches by this beetle are influenced by the distance of the patch from the source of dispersers, and by the presence of conspecifics at the patch. We released color-coded beetles at six distances from a long, linear patch of purple loosestrife that was divided into segments with and without conspecifics. We observed initial flight directions as beetles left the release points and collected all beetles that settled at the target patch. We found a bias in initial flight toward the target for distances up to 50 m. Over the 7 days of the experiment, beetles arrived at the target from all release points, including the farthest release point, 847 m away. G. calmariensis was strongly attracted to conspecifics when settling after dispersal; 86% of the 582 recovered beetles came from the segments inhabited by conspecifics. The probability of an individual arriving at the patch declined steeply with release distance. This relationship fits a model in which beetles move in a random direction and stop if they intercept the target patch, and where beetles are lost at a constant rate with distance travelled. The dispersal and patch-colonizing behavior of G. calmariensis is likely to have important consequences for the biological control program against purple loosestrife.
