Attraction of Phoracantha mastersi (Coloeptera: Cerambycidae) to copulation‐associated olfactory stimuli

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Damage caused by Phoracantha mastersi larvae are the primary cause of forest decline in Australia's subalpine forests. Behaviour of male adult beetles was tested in response to a suite of commercial semiochemicals and conspecifics engaged in active copulation within a Y‐maze.

Sanitation felling against the European spruce bark beetle: A matter of intensity and forest type Tagli fitosanitari contro il bostrico tipografo: una questione di intensità e tipologia forestale

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
We assess the effect of sanitation felling performed in 2022 in North‐Eastern Italy on bark beetle damage that occurred in 2023 across eight spruce forest types, as evaluated using multispectral satellite imagery. Bark beetle damage was reduced only at very high or very low sanitation felling rates.

Pruning slash drives ambrosia beetle (Curculionidae: Scolytinae, Platypodinae) activity in Khaya grandifoliola C.DC.: Slash removal as a preventive management strategy Resíduos de poda aumentam a atividade de besouros da ambrosia (Curculionidae: Scolytinae, Platypodinae) em Khaya grandifoliola C.DC.: A remoção dos resíduos como estratégia preventiva de manejo

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Slash retention increased ambrosia beetle activity in Khaya grandifoliola, acting as both breeding substrate and source of attractive volatile cues that promoted localized population buildup. Beetle attacks occurred only near retained slash, while no attacks were recorded in slash‐removal plots, demonstrating that residue removal effectively prevents ...
