| Abstract: | "In 2006, we evaluated the effects of combining lures releasing pine host kairomones (ethanol + alpha-pinene) with lures releasing bark beetle pheromones (ipsenol + ipsdienol) on trap catches of predators associated with bark and woodboring beetles in Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, and Virginia. Catches in traps baited with all 4 compounds were greater than those in traps baited with either binary blend for the common predators Thanasimus dubius (F.) (Coleoptera: Cleridae), Temnoscheila virescens (F.) (Coleoptera: Trogossitidae), Aulonium tuberculatum LeConte (Coleoptera: Zopheridae), and Lasconotus spp. (Coleoptera: Zopheridae). The same was true for: Enoclerus nigripes (Say) (Coleoptera: Cleridae) at 2 of 3 locations; Platysoma cylindricum (Paykull) (Coleoptera: Histeridae) at 3 of 4 locations; and Corticeus spp. (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) at 2 of 6 locations. In contrast, the addition of ethanol + alpha-pinene to traps baited with ipsenol + ipsdienol reduced catches of Platysoma attenuatum LeConte (Coleoptera: Histeridae) at 2 of 4 locations" |
