“…(iii) The schema highlights how the same model can sometimes be used in different ways, and also how very different models may sometimes be needed to address questions that are superficially similar. (iv) It follows from (iii) that the schema could lead to a suite of models with adecision-support system (see, for example, Rykiel et al 1984) that guides the user, depending on his purpose, to an appropriate model, or suggests how he might combine results from different models.…”

“…TAMBEETLE was built using a modular structure. This practice was followed in order to accommodate changes in components as new knowledge was acquired or the addition of new components as needed, TAM-BEETLE has been incorporated as an element in the Southern Pine Beetle Decision Support System (SPBDSS) (Rykiel et al, 1984, which is currently being field tested. As an element of SPBDSS, the model can be used to evaluate population dynamics in the context of forest management practices.…”

Population dynamics of the southern pine beetle Dendroctonus frontalis has been the subject of intensive research in the USA for more than a decade. TAMBEETLE, an acronym for the mechanistic model of population dynamics of D. frontalis, was developed to abstract contemporary knowledge on the insect. This model was developed as a joint venture between the Biosystems Research Group of Industrial Engineering and the Department of Entomology at Texas A&M University. The approach used to develop the model and the structure of component submodels is described. Research leading to the development of the model involved a series of field and laboratory studies aimed at various aspects of the population system of the insect. This research is reviewed. Important areas needing further research are identified. Studies dealing with factors involved in initiation of infestions, biome‐level epidemiology, host susceptibility, stand modeling, and dynamics of within‐tree mortality were emphasized as important topics for further research.

“…In forest pest management, DSS concepts are part of systems development in the Integrated Pest Impact Assessment System (White 1986), and for the Southern Pine Beetle system (Rykiel et al 1984). In these systems, a frontend program would direct the user to the appropriate database and model components.…”

Effective forest pest management involves decision-making supported by useful information. The concept of Decision Support Systems is being actively pursued by the Forest Insect and Disease Survey (FIDS) of the Canadian Forestry Service to meet its information needs for analysis of forest pest conditions. The FIDSINFOBASE system was developed to provide FIDS units nationwide access to survey data. Geographic Information System capabilities are being integrated for capture and analysis of infestation maps. Possibilities exist for the integration of systems, data, and models among agencies for information standardization and exchange. Key words: information systems, forest pest management, insect and disease surveys.
