Abstract

To test the hypothesis that bark beetles and some associated insect species are attracted to ponderosa pines infected by Ceratocystis wageneri, insect visitations on 11 severely diseased, 9 moderately diseased, and 10 apparently healthy trees were monitored from 1 August to 15 October 1972. Larger numbers of Dendroctonus brevicomis, D. ponderosae, Temnochila chlorodia, and buprestids were captured on diseased trees uninfested by bark beetles than on apparently healthy ones, thus possibly indicating attraction to diseased trees. There was strong evidence that D. valens and Spondylis upiformis were attracted more frequently to wounds on diseased than on healthy trees. Arrival patterns of beetles were recorded for trees that became infested during the study. Predators became abundant on traps as bark beetle catches increased.

Résumé

On a surveillé l'arrivée d'insectes sur 11 arbres sévèrement malades, 9 moyennement malades et 10 apparamment sains, du 1 août au 15 octobre 1972, afin de tester l'hypothèse voulant que les scolytes et certains insectes qui leur sont associés soient attirés par le pin ponderosa infecté du Ceratocystis wageneri. On a capturé des nombres plus élevés de Dendroctonus brevicomis, D. ponderosae, Temnochila chlorodia et de buprestes sur des arbres malades non infestés de scolytes, que sur des arbres apparamment sains, indiquant une attraction possible vers les arbres malades. Il est apparu très évident que D. valens et Spondylis upiformis étaient attirés plus fréquemment aux blessures sur des arbres malades que sur des arbres sains. On a noté l'évolution de l'arrivée des insectes sur des arbres qui sont devenus infestés au cours de l'étude. L'abondance des prédateurs sur les pièges a augmenté avec l'augmentation du nombre de coléoptères de l'écorce capturés.
