“…Verbenone is found in relatively large amounts (pg) in male hindguts of several pest bark beetles of North America, D. frontalis, D. brevicomis, D. ponderosae, and D. pseudotsugae (Renwick and VitC, 1968;Rudinsky et al, 1974;Byers et al, 1984;Pierce et al, 1987), but in low amounts (ng) in T. piniperda (Lame et al, 1987), or essentially absent in I. paraconfusus, I. typographus, and P. chalcographus (Byers, 1983b;Birgersson et al, 1984Birgersson et al, , 1990. Verbenone inhibits the attraction of these beetles to their respective aggregation pheromones Vit6, 1969, 1970;Byers and Wood, 1980;Bakke, 198 1;Byers et al, 1989c;Byers, 1993a).…”

“…Beetles attack the tree en masse and kill it if their numbers are sufficient. To prevent overcrowding, attack density on individual trees is requlated by host condition (Renwick and Vite, 1970) and antiaggregative-rivalry pheromones that mask the aggreg~tive pheromone (Rudinsky et al, 1974). The female usually mates early in gallery construction and lays eggs in irregularly alternating groups on the two sides of the vertical gallery.…”

“…As the colonization progresses, arriving males produce exo-brevicomin that attracts additional females until the optimum attack density is achieved, at which point both male and female beetles emit anti-aggregation pheromones that prevent further recruitment to the host tree (Rudinsky et al, 1974;Ryker and Libbey, 1982).…”

Effect of Water Stress and Fungal Inoculation on Monoterpene Emission from an Historical and a New Pine Host of the Mountain Pine Beetle

et al. 2011

The mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae, MPB) has killed millions of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) trees in Western Canada, and recent range expansion has resulted in attack of jack pine (Pinus banksiana) in Alberta. Establishment of MPB in the Boreal forest will require use of jack pine under a suite of environmental conditions different from those it typically encounters in its native range. Lodgepole and jack pine seedlings were grown under controlled environment conditions and subjected to either water deficit or well watered conditions and inoculated with Grosmannia clavigera, a MPB fungal associate. Soil water content, photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, and emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were monitored over the duration of the six-week study. Monoterpene content of bark and needle tissue was measured at the end of the experiment. β-Phellandrene, the major monoterpene in lodgepole pine, was almost completely lacking in the volatile emission profile of jack pine. The major compound in jack pine was α-pinene. The emission of both compounds was positively correlated with stomatal conductance. 3-Carene was emitted at a high concentration from jack pine seedlings, which is in contrast to monoterpene profiles of jack pine from more southern and eastern parts of its range. Fungal inoculation caused a significant increase in total monoterpene emission in water deficit lodgepole pine seedlings right after its application. By 4 weeks into the experiment, water deficit seedlings of both species released significantly lower levels of total monoterpenes than well watered seedlings. Needle tissue contained lower total monoterpene content than bark. Generally, monoterpene tissue content increased over time independent from any treatment. The results suggest that monoterpenes that play a role in pine-MPB interactions differ between lodgepole and jack pine, and also that they are affected by water availability.
