COLONIZATION OF LODGEPOLE PINE STUMPS BY ANTS (HYMENOPTERA: FORMICIDAE)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Extract
Only a few studies have been made on the colonization of coniferous stumps by insects. Studies by Richards (1926), Krogerus (1927), Wallace (1953), and Hayes and Tickell (1984) indicated that beetles were the common insect group in coniferous stumps in Europe.
The purpose of this study was to identify the insect species colonizing lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl.) stumps in the Hinton area and assisting in their breakdown.
