Creator:: Pitman, Gary Boyd
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to study in some detail host factors which influence the population dynamics of bark beetle. The dissertation objectives were to ascertain the applicability of utilizing osmotic pressure values and relative turgidity values of phloem tissue as indicators which reflect upon the physiological profile of...

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...

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...

Creator:: Stoszek, Karel Josef
Abstract:: The study (1) describes the life cycle of P. nebulosus, (2) examines stimuli that may cause the beetles to locate brood material, and (3) establishes the relationship between moisture stress in Douglas-fir and colonization by P. nebuZosus.and other meristem insects. (1) Development of P. nebulosus goes through the egg stage,...

Creator:: Schmitz, Richard Franklin
Abstract:: The effect of competition on the brood survival of the Douglas fir beetle Dendroctonus pseudotsugae Hopkins, in down or windthrown Douglas-fir Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco was studied in the field and the laboratory. The investigation of the role of competition in the population dynamics of the beetle had four objectives:...

Creator:: Kline, LeRoy N.
Abstract:: The objectives undertaken in this study were: 1) to develop means of identifying the immature stages of the known insect predators and parasites of the Douglas-fir beetle; 2) to investigate the possible distribution, spatially and/or temporal, of the known insect predators and parasites in standing trees infested by the Douglas-fir...
