Forest ecosystems are increasingly threatened by non-native forest insects and pathogens. A portion of these pests are able to overcome prevention and containment efforts and become established in naïve ecosystems. Once established these pests pose a long-term large-scale threat to forest ecosystems, which current policy and response frameworks are poorly equipped to address. We propose the creation of a federal Center for Forest Pest Control and Prevention to implement end-to-end responses to forest pest invasions using an ecologically-informed framework that fully integrates host tree resistance development and deployment.}, journal={FRONTIERS IN FORESTS AND GLOBAL CHANGE}, author={Bonello, Pierluigi and Campbell, Faith T. and Cipollini, Don and Conrad, Anna O. and Farinas, Coralie and Gandhi, Kamal J.

Shortly after eclosion, A. piceae larvae insert their stylets into intercellular bark tissue to ensure a constant feeding source from cortical parenchyma cells (Balch 1952, Can. Dept. Agric. Publ. No. 867, 76 pp.). Thereafter, the developing adelgid is attached at that site for the remainder of its life (Balch and Carroll 1956, Can. Dept. Agric. Publ. No. 977, 7 pp.). Insects that use a piercing-sucking mode of feeding, such as adelgids, elicit a response similar to that of fungal and bacterial plant pathogens (Walling 2000, J. Plant Growth Regul. 19: 195–216; Bernards and Spohr 2008, Pp. 189–211, In Schaller, A. (ed.), Induced Plant Resistance to Herbivory, Springer Science, Stuttgart, Germany). The synthesis of new compounds or structural barriers after herbivore-induced damage occurs, including the accumulation of proteins and secondary metabolites, are characteristics of induced defenses (Bernards and Spohr 2008). For example, the formation of cell wall modifications can be induced by wounding and herbivory (Ginzberg 2008, Pp. 131–146, In Schaller, A. (ed.), Induced Plant Resistance to Herbivory, Springer Science, Stuttgart, Germany). Host resistance mechanisms include rapid accumulation of monoterpene and juvabione-related compounds, the production of secondary periderm (Mullick 1975, Can. J.

Five locations with a set temperature and relative humidity (RH) were chosen to test for optimal environmental conditions: three environmental chambers maintained at 17, 20, and 25°C with 75% RH; an insectary maintained at 21.1°C and 72% RH; and a greenhouse with varying temperature and RH levels. Overall, 20°C appeared to be the optimal temperature for development, and 25°C was the least favorable of the temperatures tested. Comparing Fraser fir cuttings to seedlings, seedlings (15.51/cm) were five times more infested than cuttings (3.02/cm), and the percentage of adult survival was higher on seedlings (67%) than on cuttings (17%). The highest percentage of adelgids reaching full development occurred in adelgids that inserted around the buds. Although the numbers were very low, full development was reached on logs in all five environments. Texture of the bark plays a role in A. piceae preference, with twice the number of crawlers inserting into medium-textured bark compared to rough-textured bark. Adelges piceae showed positive geotaxis preference, with the most favorable insertion sites on the bottom sides of vertical bark discs. Future rearing of adelgids in the laboratory should be on logs or seedlings in an area of sufficient size to permit adequate airflow at 20°C and 75% RH.}, number={3}, journal={Journal of Entomological Science}, author={Mester, E.

A variety of methods were tested as infestation predictors, including quantification of either the exact locations of infested grid cells during one or two preceding years, or the neighborhood infestation intensity (number of infested cells in a neighborhood) in these years. The methods had similar predictive abilities, but the simpler methods performed somewhat better than the more complex ones. The factors most correlated with infestations in future years were infestation in the current year and the number of surrounding counties that were infested.

It attains outbreak population levels sufficient to mass attack host pines across the landscape at scales ranging from a single forest stand to interstate epidemics. This county level analysis selected and examined the best climatic and landscape variables for predicting infestations at regional scales. The analysis showed that, for a given county, the most important factor in predicting outbreaks was that the county was classified as in outbreak status in the previous year. Other important factors included minimum winter temperature and the greatest difference between the average of daily minimums and a subsequent low temperature point, precipitation history either seasonally in the previous year or difference from average over the previous 2 years, the synchronizing effect of seasonal temperatures on beetle populations and the relative percentage of total forest area composed of host species. The statistical models showed that climatic variables are stronger indicators of outbreak likelihood than landscape structure and cover variables. Average climatic conditions were more likely to lead to outbreaks than extreme conditions, supporting the notion of coupling between a native insect and its native host. Still, some extreme events (i.e., periods of very low temperature or very high precipitation) did precede beetle infestation.

We observed that constitutive and induced resin yield in loblolly pine, Pinus taeda L., were affected by either fungal inoculation (with the southern pine beetle-associated fungus Ophiostoma minus (Hedgcock) H. & P.

The treatments were applied to trees in a 2 x 2 factorial combination of fertilizer and irrigation treatments. Fertilization did not significantly affect constitutive resin yield. Even as long as 105 days post-treatment, however, mass-inoculated trees produced higher induced resin yields than control or wounded-only trees, indicating a localized induced response to fungal inoculation. We noted no systemic induction of host defenses against fungal colonization. Although beetles attacking previously attacked trees face a greater resinous response from their host than beetles attacking trees that had not been previously attacked, the effect of an earlier attack may not last more than one flight season.

Both environmental and genetic factors are known to affect the quantity of oleoresin flow in loblolly pine, Pinus taeda L., but little is known about the genetic contribution to phenotypic variation in this trait. Here we report estimates of genetic variation in oleoresin flow and growth traits for a population of this species. Oleoresin yield, total height, and diameter were measured on 10- and 11-year-old trees from an experimental test in Santa Rosa County, Florida. Trees were from 72 full-sib families produced by mating 48 parents according to a disconnected partial diallel mating design. Resin yield was determined from breast-height samples collected at two times: once in the summer of 1999 when latewood was being produced (summer resin flow), and once in the spring of 2000 during earlywood formation (spring resin flow). All traits studied were found to be highly genetically variable and to have much greater additive than dominance variance. Estimates of narrow-sense heritability for spring and summer resin flow were in the moderate range and are comparable to values obtained for the growth traits. Additive genetic correlations between oleoresin yield and the growth traits were positive and moderately high, suggesting that directional selection to improve growth in loblolly pine will also result in increased production of oleoresin.}, number={12}, journal={CANADIAN JOURNAL OF FOREST RESEARCH}, author={Roberds, JH and Strom, BL and Hain, FP and Gwaze, DP and McKeand, SE and Lott, LH}, year={2003}, month={Dec}, pages={2469–2476} } @article{hastings_hain_odell_2002, title={A survey of parasitoids and other organisms affecting gypsy moth (Lepidoptera : Lymantriia dispar L.) along the leading edge of its southward movement}, volume={37}, ISSN={["0749-8004"]}, DOI={10.18474/0749-8004-37.2.207}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF ENTOMOLOGICAL SCIENCE}, author={Hastings, FL and Hain, FP and Odell, TM}, year={2002}, month={Apr}, pages={207–209} } @article{gillock_hain_2002, title={Entomophaga maimaiga (Entomophthorales : entomophthoraceae) infects Malacosoma americanum (Lepidoptera : lasiocampidae) in North Carolina}, volume={37}, ISSN={["0749-8004"]}, DOI={10.18474/0749-8004-37.4.363}, abstractNote={Views Icon Views Article contents Figures & tables Video Audio Supplementary Data Share Icon Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Email Tools Icon Tools Get Permissions Cite Icon Cite Search Site Citation Hilary H.

All sites were mixed hardwood stands with varying amounts of oak, Quercus spp., and all were classified for gypsy moth susceptibility. Small mammal density was estimated using Sherman live-traps and pitfall traps within these 4.68-ha sites in early and late summer. Each site contained 75 trapping stations located on a 25-m grid. Predation was measured by offering freeze-dried gypsy moth pupae near trapping stations at four heights (0, 0.25, 1.0, and 2.0 m) on different tree boles. Pupal predation was monitored for three consecutive nights. Vertebrate predation was positively correlated with good mast production in the previous autumn. Predation data showed that when mice were at high densities they were the major source of pupal predation. However, within these southern sites, when densities of Peromyscus spp. were low, predation by invertebrates was occasionally greater than predation by vertebrates.

The procedures developed under epidemic conditions in Texas were applied to declining populations in North Carolina. Despite the differences in total population numbers, the within-tree distributions of all D. frontalis life stages were similar for both states. Infested surface area estimates using tree geometry tables developed from the Texas data base were satisfactory for North Carolina. Hence the “tree geometry-proportional density function” procedures for estimating total within-tree life stages are applicable in 2 widely separated regions of D. frontalis ' range and under extremely different population sizes.}, number={1}, journal={ENVIRONMENTAL ENTOMOLOGY}, author={HAIN, FP and MCCLELLAND, WT and POPE, DN and PULLEY, PE and FOLTZ, JL and COULSON, RN}, year={1978}, pages={157–164} }
