“…Similarly, the attraction of I. latidens to its pheromone, ipsenol, is inhibited by the ipsdienol produced by I. pini . Conversely, I. avulsus (Eichhoff), I. calligraphus (Germar), I. hoppingi (Lanier), I. montanus (Eichhoff), Dendroctonus frontalis (Zimmermann), Hylastes gracilis (LeConte), and Pityogenes knechteli (Swaine) are all attracted to pheromones produced by sympatric species of bark beetles (Lanier and Wood 1975;Hedden et al 1976;Svihra et al 1980;Cane et al 1990;Smith et al 1990;Poland and Borden 1994). Ours seems to be the first report of heterospecific responses switching from attraction to deterrence depending upon the presence of conspecific signals.…”

The bark beetles Ips pini, I. perroti, and I. grandicollis are sympatric in pine forests of the north-central United States. They share the same limited phloem resource and often coexist within the same host trees. We tested whether phloem resources are partitioned in time and space by measuring spatial and seasonal colonization of logs. Differences among species in flight phenology, development time, voltinism, and spatial colonization patterns within logs reduce, but do not eliminate, species overlap. The bark beetle species share predation by Thanasimus dubius (Cleridae) and Platysoma cylindrica (Histeridae), which exploit pheromone signals for prey location. We employed pheromone traps to test for chemical communication among bark beetle species. Heterospecific signals tend to be deterrents when they are added to conspecific signals but attractants when they are alone, indicating that the communication system can both reduce and increase species overlap in resource use depending upon relative abundance of the species. Deterrence by heterospecific signals is probably a result of selection for minimizing interspecific competition. However, individuals may sometimes benefit from joining aggregations of other species because of (1) predator swamping, (2) improved success in attacking live trees, and (3) location of suitable, recently dead, trees. These benefits should be greatest for males (which locate and colonize host trees before signalling females) and indeed males tended to be more attracted than females by heterospecific signals. Shared resources, shared predators, and heterospecific pheromone communication all contribute to species interactions in this guild of bark beetles, but predicting whether the removal of one species will tend to increase or decrease the abundance of remaining species remains difficult. Species interactions are likely conditional and coexistence is probably promoted by benefits to rare species of multispecies associations.

“…The response of Ips avulsus (Eichhoff) to their own males on loblolly pine, Pinus taeda L., was enhanced by the presence of I. calligraphus (Germar) and I. grandicollis (Eichhoff), but I. avulsus disrupted the colonisation of I. calligraphus in its vicinity (Svihra et al 1980). Ips grandicollis was attracted to D. frontalis at long range but when induced to attack the same area on a host, the response of both species was greatly reduced (Svihra et al 1980), suggesting that beetles cue in on the pheromones of heterospecifics to locate hosts, but maintain spacing on the host that minimises interspecific competition (Poland & Borden 1994). The response of I. pini to its aggregation pheromone component (-)-ipdienol was interrupted by (+)-ipsdienol, the aggregation pheromone of the competing species Ips paraconfus Lanier .…”

“…Beetles may be attracted to semiochemicals emitted by heterospecifics and apparently use them to locate hosts which may be rare or patchy in distribution (Byers & Wood 1981;Poland & Borden 1994;Savoie et al 1998;Ayres et al 2001). Alternatively, they may be repelled, a response that would facilitate resource partitioning, decrease interspecific competition (Byers & Wood 1980Byers et al 1984;Borden et al 1992;Poland & Borden 1998a,b,c;Pureswaran et al 2000;Ayres et al 2001), and maximise survival of brood.…”

Nine compounds identified from captured volatiles of the Douglas-fir beetle, Dendroctonus pseudotsugae, the mountain pine beetle, D. ponderosae, and the spruce beetle, D. rufipennis, that elicited antennal responses in males and females of one or more of these species were tested in the field to determine behavioural activity. 1-Octen-3-ol, found in the volatiles of females of all three species decreased the response of male and female coastal and male interior D. pseudotsugae and both sexes of D. ponderosae to their aggregation pheromones. Acetophenone, identified in the volatiles of females of all three species, significantly decreased the response of interior female D. pseudotsugae. trans-Verbenol, a potent aggregation pheromone of D. ponderosae, decreased the response of both sexes of D. pseudotsugae, while 3-methyl-2-cyclohexen-1-one (MCH), the antiaggregation pheromone of D. pseudotsugae and D. rufipennis decreased the response of both sexes of D. ponderosae. While it has been demonstrated that semiochemical mediated interspecific communication occurs among bark beetles infesting the same host, this study demonstrates that beetles can perceive signals emitted by heterospecifics attacking nonhosts and can potentially use them to avoid attacking the wrong species of conifer.

“…However, with I. pini conophthorin seems to play a key role in the disruptive effect of the NHVs as its presence in a mixture seems to be necessary for disruption. Because conophthorin is also a known scolytid pheromone (Kohnle et al ., 1992; Dallara et al ., 1994; Birgersson et al ., 1995; Pierce et al ., 1995) it is possible that PEs may also respond to it as a currently unidentified repellent synomone (Borden et al ., 1992) produced by some sympatric scolytid species, potentially Pityogenes knechteli (Poland & Borden, 1994).…”

1 Seventeen non-host angiosperm bark volatiles, seven of which are antennally active to Ips pini (Say), the pine engraver (PE), were tested for their ability to disrupt the response of the PE to pheromone-baited traps. 2 Four green leaf volatiles (GLVs) were tested [1-hexanol (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol, hexanal, and (E)-2-hexenal]. None had any disruptive effect singly, as a group or in all possible blends based on functional groups, despite the fact that the two aldehydes were antennally active. These compounds may have, in some instances, actually masked the disruptive effect of other compounds. The PE thus differs in its response from other Scolytidae, including other Ips spp. 3 Eight non-host volatiles that were antennally active to other bark beetles, but not to PEs, had no disruptive effect, validating the use of coupled gas chromatographic-electroantennographic detection analyses to detect compounds with potential behavioural activity. 4 The bicyclic spiroacetal conophthorin, (E)-7-methyl-1,6-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane, was disruptive when tested alone. When blends of two aldehydes [salicylaldehyde and nonanal] plus an alcohol and a phenol [benzyl alcohol and guaiacol] were combined with conophthorin, an enhanced disruptive effect was revealed. No single compound, other than conophthorin, disrupted the pheromone-positive response and no blend that did not contain conophthorin was consistently disruptive to both sexes. Conophthorin seems to be a critical component in the non-host angiosperm message for I. pini during its host selection phase. 5 Combination of the repellent synomones, verbenone and ipsenol, with the ®ve disruptive non-host volatiles may provide a potent treatment to protect trees, logs or stands from attack by the PE.
