Population dynamics of the Douglas-fir cone moth, Barbara colfaciana (Kft.) (Lepidoptera:Olethreutidae)

Creator:: Nebeker, T. Evan
Abstract:: A population of the Douglas-fir cone moth, Barbara colfaxiana (Kft. ), was studied on the Buckhead Seed Production Area, Oakridge, Oregon, during 1971 and 1972. A method of estimating cone and insect populations is presented. Factors contributing to the mortality of B. colfaxiana are discussed, with resinosis being the critical...

Insects associated with black stain root disease of Douglas-fir in western Oregon

Creator:: Witcosky, Jeffrey John
Abstract:: The root systems of Douglas-fir trees infected with Verticicladiella wagenerii and assigned by crown color and terminal growth characteristics to several stages of decline were excavated at three widely separated sites in the Coast Range of Oregon. Data were gathered on insect species present, extent of colonization of the root...

The root insect-- black-stain root disease association in Douglas-fir : vector relationships and implications for forest management

Creator:: Witcosky, Jeffrey John
Abstract:: Verticicladiella wageneri Kendrick is a vascular wilt pathogen of conifers, causing a black staining of colonized sapwood of roots and lower stem. In Douglas-fir, V. wageneri is intimately associated with insects. Hylastes nigrinus, Pissodes fasciatus, and Steremnuis carinatus are commonly associated with diseased hosts, carry inoculum of V. wageneri in...

Arthropod community structure in regenerating Douglas-fir and red alder forests : influences of geography, tree diversity and density

Creator:: Schaerer, Brett L.
Abstract:: The structuring of canopy arthropod communities was reviewed and investigated in relation to tree species diversity and its component factors, interspersion of different species and density of each tree species. Fifteen treatments of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and red alder (Alnus rubra) (various densities and proportions of each) were randomly assigned...

Impact of insects on seed production in a Douglas-fir seed orchard in Oregon

Creator:: Dombrosky, Scott A.
Abstract:: The impact of various factors on seed production in a Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) seed orchard in western Oregon was examined by monitoring the fate of seeds in thirty cones, stratified into three crown levels, on each of ten trees during the 1984 growing season. Cones were examined monthly between April...

Differential growth of roots and shoots of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) seedlings infested with Cinara pseudotsugae, and population dynamics of a parasitoid wasp (Pauesia sp.) of C. pseudotsugae

Creator:: Smith, Julia P.
Abstract:: Aphids are a widespread family of plant pests, whose abilities to suppress shoot and root growth are well documented for many terrestrial plants. Only a few studies have been conducted on conifer aphids of the genus Cinara. Cinara pseudotsugae are known to attack Douglas-fir seedlings, an important crop in the...

Host suitability studies of Douglas-fir and white alder to the gypsy moth

Creator:: Joseph, Gladwin
Abstract:: Douglas-fir, Pseudotsuga menziesii and white alder, Alnus rhombifolia, species that are prevalent in the Pacific Northwest, were fed to larvae of the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar L. Gypsy moth larvae from different familial lines (egg masses) from a single geographic population were evaluated on these hosts. The larvae were fed...
