Creator:: Vernoff, Suellen
Abstract:: Both Leperisinus oregonus and L. californicus are bark beetle species which emerge from Fraxinus latifolia brood logs as sexually immature adults and disperse to living ash. Occasional field observations suggest that, for overwintering and maturation feeding, L. oregonus enter trunks and branches, whereas L.; californicus enter twig crotches, buds and...

Abstract:: Six species of Cleridae, including Enoclerus spegeus Fabricius, E. lecontei Wolcott, E. schaefferi (Barr), E. eximius Mannerheim, Thanasimus undatulus Say, and an undescribed species of Enoclerus, were found on Douglas-fir in western Oregon. E. sphegeus was the only clerid of the six species studied which was primarily associated with the...

Creator:: Hendrickson, William Henry
Abstract:: Factors considered were phloem moisture, sour-phloem (which may be furthered by the presence of ample phloem moisture), oleoresin of the host, and the presence of unmated female beetles in suitable host material. Levels of phloem moisture present in variously prepared logs in the field ranged from about 100 to upwards...
