Application of Bark Beetle Semiochemicals for Quarantine of Bark Beetles in China [PDF]
Journal of Insect Science, 2006 This article describes the use of bark beetle semiochemicals for quarantine in China. Using traps with two isomeric compounds of α-pinene, ethanol, trans-verbenol, verbenone, camphene and isononylaldehyde, insects of four families (Scolytidae, Platypodidae, Bostychidae and Cleridae) were trapped, including eight genera of Scolytidae, (Xyleborus ...

Chiral escape of bark beetles from predators responding to a bark beetle pheromone [PDF]
Oecologia, 1989 Two species of predatory beetles that locate their prey, Ips pini, by responding to its aggregation pheromone have different chiral preferences to ispdienol than does the herbivore. This suggests that chiral disparity may provide some escape for bark beetles from predation, and that geographic variation in herbivore communication systems may be ...
