Pinus pinaster was probably introduced into Madeira about thirty years before the beginning of the nineteenth century—a hundred years too late to save from wanton extinction the forests of mountain laurel, Cerasus, Persea, juniper, and many a species exclusively Madeiran.

Toxicity of Pine Monoterpenes to Mountain Pine Beetle
AbstractThe mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae; MPB) is an eruptive bark beetle species affecting pine forests of western North America. MPB are exposed to volatile monoterpenes, which are important host defense chemicals. We assessed the toxicity of the ten most abundant monoterpenes of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta), a major host in the ...

Disruptant Effects of 4-Allylanisole and Verbenone on \u3ci\u3eTomicus Piniperda\u3c/i\u3e (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) Response to Baited Traps and Logs [PDF]
We assessed the inhibitory effects of the host compound 4-allylanisole (release rates = 1 and 2 mg/d in 1994, and 1 and 10 mg/d in 2001) on the response of the pine shoot beetle, Tomicus piniperda (L.), adults to funnel traps baited with the attractant ...

Seasonal Occurrence of Pine Root Collar Weevil, \u3ci\u3eHylobius Radicis\u3c/i\u3e (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), in Red Pine Stands Undergoing Decline [PDF]
A trapping scheme was devised for sampling the pine root collar weevil, Hylobius radicis, in mature red pine plantations in Wisconsin. Adult weevils were trapped throughout the 1986 field season, and the method appears sensitive enough to discern ...
