“…The average time from infestation to detection is 6-12 years (McCullough et al 2011;MFK unpublished data), ample time for the beetles to become firmly established in a new location. Much research and resources have been devoted to developing survey techniques to shorten the time between infestation and detection (Francese et al 2006;Poland et al 2006;Crook et al 2009;Francese et al 2011;Grant et al 2011;McCullough et al 2011;Ryall et al 2012).…”

Smoky winged beetle bandits, Cerceris fumipennis Say, digger wasps in the family Hymenoptera: Crabronidae: Cercerini, provision their underground nests with adult metallic wood-boring beetles (Coleoptera: Buprestidae). Researchers, as well as engaged community volunteers, in several states have monitored female wasps returning to their nests as a means to detect invasive buprestid species. In this paper, we report the first detection of emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis Fairemore), an invasive beetle responsible for killing millions of ash trees in North America, in Connecticut by C. fumipennis and discuss its relationship to A. planipennis survey efforts by other modalities in the state. We also report detections of A. planipennis by C. fumipennis in Illinois, New York and Ontario; all of which were made after it was known the beetle was in the area. These findings support the use of C. fumipennis as a biomonitoring tool and bolster the use of engaged volunteers.

“…Two types of host volatiles have been demonstrated to be attractive to adults: green leaf volatiles Rodriguez-Saona et al 2006;de Groot et al 2008;Grant et al 2010Grant et al , 2011 and bark sesquiterpenes McCullough 2006, Crook et al 2008). Of the green leaf volatiles, one compound in particular, (3Z)-hexenol, is highly antennally active and attractive to males (de Groot et al 2008, Grant et al 2010, Silk et al 2011.…”

Attraction of emerald ash borer, Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire, to a volatile pheromone was demonstrated in three field experiments using baited green sticky traps. A dose-response curve was generated for male A. planipennis to increasing release rates of (3Z)-dodecen-12-olide ((3Z)-lactone) in combination with the green leaf volatile, (3Z)-hexenol. Only the lowest release rate (<2.50 μg/d) of (3Z)-lactone significantly increased captures of male A. planipennis, as compared with traps baited with (3Z)-hexenol alone. Effect of trap height, (3Z)-lactone, and (3Z)-hexenol and their interactions on the trap capture of A. planipennis was determined in a factorial experiment. Number of males per trap was significantly and positively affected by (3Z)-lactone, (3Z)-hexenol, and trap height whereas number of females per trap was affected by trap height only; none of the interactions were significant. As predicted, the greatest mean catch of males was in traps baited with (3Z)-lactone and (3Z)-hexenol placed high in the canopy. Electroantennogram tests on the bark volatile, 7-epi-sesquithujene, demonstrated the ability of male and female A. planipennis antennae to detect and respond to this compound, particularly the (+)-7-epi-sesquithujene isomer. Results from an olfactometer bioassay and field testing did not demonstrate attraction of either males or females to (+)-7-epi-sesquithujene. These data increase our understanding of the pheromone ecology of the invasive emerald ash borer, provide further confirmation of the behavioral activity of the female-produced lactone pheromone, and should increase the ability to detect A. planipennis infestations where they are present.

“…(3Z)-Hexenol does appear to have an important role in host and/or mate Þnding by males (de Groot et al, 2008;Grant et al, 2010Grant et al, , 2011 while increased bark sesquiterpene emissions are indicative of a stressed tree and likely have an important role for oviposition by females . Our results on purple traps (experiment 1) showed that traps baited with the 80/20 manuka/phoebe oil caught more A. planipennis than those baited with manuka oil.…”

“…On light green prism traps (3Z)-hexenol release rates of 7.6 and 80 mg per day caught signiÞcantly more males than females, and more males than the unbaited controls or manuka oil baited traps. Lures containing phoebe oil and (3Z)-hexenol were tested with light green prism traps by Grant et al (2011). They found that light green prism traps hung in the canopy baited with (3Z)-hexenol captured more males than females and signiÞcantly more males than unbaited traps.…”

Field trapping assays were conducted in 2009 and 2010 throughout western Michigan, to evaluate lures for adult emerald ash borer, A. planipennis Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Buprestidae). Several ash tree volatiles were tested on purple prism traps in 2009, and a dark green prism trap in 2010. In 2009, six bark oil distillate lure treatments were tested against manuka oil lures (used in 2008 by USDA APHIS PPQ emerald ash borer cooperative program). Purple traps baited with 80/20 (manuka/phoebe oil) significantly increased beetle catch compared with traps baited with manuka oil alone. In 2010 we monitored emerald ash borer attraction to dark green traps baited with six lure combinations of 80/20 (manuka/phoebe), manuka oil, and (3Z)-hexenol. Traps baited with manuka oil and (3Z)-hexenol caught significantly more male and total count insects than traps baited with manuka oil alone. Traps baited with manuka oil and (3Z)-hexenol did not catch more beetles when compared with traps baited with (3Z)-hexenol alone. When compared with unbaited green traps our results show that (3Z)-hexenol improved male catch significantly in only one of three field experiments using dark green traps. Dark green traps caught a high number of A. planipennis when unbaited while (3Z)-hexenol was seen to have a minimal (nonsignificant) trap catch effect at several different release rates. We hypothesize that the previously reported kairomonal attractancy of (3Z)-hexenol (for males) on light green traps is not as obvious here because of improved male attractancy to the darker green trap.
