: 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
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 ...

Étude histopathologique comparative des infections par des baculovirus chez deux espèces de tordeuse Choristoneura fumiferana (Clemens) et choristoneura occidentalis (Freeman) [PDF]
Les espèces du genre Choristoneura font partie de l'ordre des lépidoptères et de la famille des Tortricidés. Ils sont les plus importants insectes ravageurs de conifères d'Amérique du Nord.

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

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