Arthropod Facilitation by Wood-Boring Beetles: Spatio-temporal Distribution Mediated by a Twig-girdler Ecosystem Engineer [PDF]

Journal of Insect Science, 2018
The twig-girdler beetle Oncideres albomarginata chamela (Chemsak and Giesbert) (Cerambycidae: Lamiinae) detaches branches of Spondias purpurea L. (Sapindales: Anacardiaceae) that fall on the forest floor or remain suspended on vegetation. Many wood-boring beetles also oviposit in these branches and larval development creates cavities that are abandoned

Mesquite Twig Girdler: A Possible Means of Mesquite Control [PDF]

Journal of Range Management, 1971
The mesquite twig girdler (Oncideres rhodosticta Bates) was found to inflict considerable damage to mesquite in Texas and may prove to be a valuable biological control agent for this noxious species.

Ovipositional Behavior of the Twig Girdler (Cerambycidae: Oncideres cingulata) on stems of Mockernut Hickory (Carya tomentosa) in Arkansas

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
The Twig Girdler (Cerambycidae: Oncideres cingulata) is a long-horned beetle that girdles stems of certain species of trees to prepare a habitat for its offspring. The stems eventually die, break, and fall from the tree, but the beetle usually had already laid its eggs within the stems. Eggs are laid singly, almost always at growth rings or leaf bases.

Wood-boring beetles promote ant nest cavities: extended effects of a twig-girdler ecosystem engineer

Basic and Applied Ecology, 2017
Abstract Oncideres albomarginata chamela (Cerambycidae: Lamiinae) is a stem-boring beetle that girdles branches of Spondias purpurea (Anacardiaceae) for oviposition. Many beetles opportunistically oviposit in these branches and larvae create cavities that are abandoned when the adults emerge.

Psyllotoxus griseocinctus Thomson, 1868 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae): a potential pest of roses in Brazil revealed by its lifecycle and niche modeling

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021
We present the first formal record of the twig-girdler Psyllotoxus griseocinctus Thomson, 1868 (Cerambycidae: Lamiinae: Onciderini) attacking the rose, Rosa sp. (Rosaceae) in Southern Brazil. We provide photographs of the damage P.
