Amplified mitochondrial DNA as a diagnostic marker for species of conifer-feeding Choristoneura (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)

open access: yes, 1995
: We describe a method for identifying conifer-feeding species and lineages of Choristoneura Lederer in Canada and Alaska. The method relies on amplification of mitochondrial (mt) DNA by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR); amplified DNA is then digested

Salvage decision-making based on carbon following an eastern spruce budworm outbreak

open access: yesFrontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
Forest disturbances, such as an eastern spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana) outbreak, impact the strength and persistence of forest carbon sinks. Salvage harvests are a typical management response to widespread tree mortality, but the decision to ...

Refining the Forest Vegetation Simulator for projecting the effects of spruce budworm defoliation in the Acadian Region of North America

open access: yesThe Forestry Chronicle, 2018
The Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) is an individual-tree growth model widely used in the US and parts of Canada, which has been developed to predict stand dynamics in response to various disturbance-causing agents.

Temperature and Morphology Affect the Performance and Cost of Flight in Spruce Budworm Females

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
Forewing length and wing surface are the key morphological traits to explain the biomechanics of the flight performance in spruce budworm. Large budworm females benefit from more energy reserves that can be allocated daily to flight and a relative energy saving during flight due to their mass.

Resist!: Sustaining forest carbon sequestration and wood production after insect disturbance

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 23, Issue 10, December 2025.
Disturbances from insect pests threaten ecologically and economically important goods and services supplied by forests, including wood production and carbon sequestration. We highlight the factors that influence these services’ resistance, a term quantifying the initial response to disturbance.

STUDIES ON DIPTEROUS PARASITES OF THE SPRUCE BUDWORM, CHORISTONEURA FUMIFERANA (CLEM.) (LEPIDOPTERA.TORTRICIDAE): VI. PHOROCERA INCRASSATA SMITH (DIPTERA:TACHINIDAE)

open access: yes, 1958
Phorocera incrassala Smith, which was transferred from Western to Eastern Canada for release against the spruce budworm, Choristoneura fumiferana (Clem.), deposits microtype eggs on leaves, which are later ingested by the host.

Evidence for Female Autodetection and Plasticity of Pheromone Response in Helicoverpa zea

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 11, Page 1236-1246, November 2025.
This study addressed detection and behavioral responses to conspecific pheromones (autodetection) in female corn earworm moths, Helicoverpa zea (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Electroantennogram recordings showed that prior exposure to pheromones significantly decreased antennal sensitivity.
