Local consequences of a global model for mountain pine beetle massattack

A coupled partial differential equation model for interaction between mountain pine beetles (MPBs) and lodgepole pine is reviewed. An asymptotic cone-tree' solution is examined and the time-scale of…

Local Consequences of a Global Model forMountain Pine Beetle Mass

A coupled partial diierential equation model for interaction between mountain pine beetles (MPB) and lodgepole pine is reviewed. An asymptoticòne-tree' solution is examined and time scale of the…

Mathematical elements of attack risk analysis for mountain pine beetles.

Three different mathematical approaches are combined to develop a spatial framework in which risk of mountain pine beetle attack on individual hosts may be assessed, and preliminary results suggest that stand microclimate has much greater influence on risk of attack than host vigor and stand age.

Direct and indirect parametrization of a localized model for the mountain pine beetle — lodgepole pine system

Theoretical analysis of "Switching" in a localized model for mountain pine beetle mass attack

The results suggest that stand thinning ameliorates outbreaks mainly through interference with the chemical ecology via a change in micro-climate rather than by altering host vigor.

Spatial Invasion of Pine Beetles into Lodgepole Forests: A Numerical Approach

A flux-based model estimates the phase speed of pheromone isoclines at the boundary, providing an overestimate of the flux of beetles across the boundaries and giving nearly transparent boundary conditions.

Phase transition from environmental to dynamic determinism in mountain pine beetle attack

A Structured Threshold Model for Mountain Pine Beetle Outbreak

A vigor-structured model for mountain pine beetle outbreak dynamics within a forest stand and a model extension is proposed for dynamics of beetle aggregation, which involves a stochastic formulation.

Model Analysis of Spatial Patterns in Mountain Pine Beetle Outbreaks.

A spatially dynamic model of the MPB/forest interaction that includes chemical ecology, spatial redistribution of beetles, attack, and resulting host mortality is described and a spatial correlation coefficient is discussed that can be used to differentiate between the spatial distribution of killed trees in endemic and outbreak phases.

Dispersal of Mountain Pine Beetle and impacts of management

In this thesis, we use a reaction-diffusion equation with chemotaxis to model the interaction between Mountain Pine Beetle (MPB, Dendroctonius ponderosae), Mountain Pine Beetle pheromones, and…

Analysis of Spatial Patterns of Lodgepole Pine Attacked by Outbreak Populations of the Mountain Pine Beetle

Five years of mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins, attacks on lodge-pole pine, Pinus contorta Dougl., were analyzed in an early outbreak situation using generalized linear models…

Primary Attraction of the Mountain Pine Beetle to Lodgepole Pine in Oregon

Dispersing Dendroctonus ponderosae landed preferentially on lodgepole pines with fire scars and decay ( P = 0.023 and P = 0.008, respectively, by joint binomial distribution analysis).

Attack, Emergence, and Stand Depletion Trends of the Mountain Pine Beetle in a Lodgepole Pine Stand During an Outbreak

Generally, the density of attacking beetles increased during the epidemic, and while emergence remained relatively stable during the build-up years, it declined rapidly during and following the peak year of tree killing.

An empirical approach to modeling the local dispersal of the mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopk.) (Col., Scolytidae) in relation to sources of attraction, wind direction and speed

An empirical method was developed for predicting the directional distribution of mountain pine beetles responding to attractive semiochemicals, and the dispersal model gave good predictions of the numbers of self‐marked mountain pine beetle of three different colours trapped in passive traps at four trapping sites.

Colonization Patterns of the Mountain Pine Beetle in Thinned and Unthinned Lodgepole Pine Stands

Outbreak populations of the mountain pine beetle were analyzed with an autologistic regression model to evaluate colonization patterns in thinned and unthinned plots of lodgepole pine, Pinus contorta Dougl, confirming previous observations that beetle attacks in unmanaged stands were related to tree diameter and spacing among trees.

Association of an Endemic Mountain Pine Beetle Population with Lodgepole Pine Infected by Armillaria Root Disease in Utah

A random sample of 42 mature lodgepole pines revealed a significant and consistent association between infection by the root pathogen Annillaria mellea and the incidence of infestation by low population (endemic) levels of mountain pine beetle.

Biology of the Mountain Pine Beetle, Dendroctonus monticolae Hopkins, in the East Kootenay Region of British Columbia.: III. Interaction between the Beetle and its Host, with Emphasis on Brood Mortality and Survival

The relationship between density of attack and subsequent total length of egg galleries was examined as was the relationship between number of exit holes and number of emerging beetles.

The mountain Pine beetle in Lodgepole Pine forests.

Intensities of mountain pine beetle and dwarfmistletoe damage are influenced by forest associations and elevation, and more effective beetle control and alternatives such as type conversion, shorter rotations, mixing species, and developing better size and age class distribution must be considered.

Interaction dynamics of bark beetle aggregation and conifer defense rates

A model is developed which delineates the key parameters of colonization success or failure and various assumptions regarding the effects of such factors as environmental stress, underlying resistance, and beetle immigration can be evaluated for each conifer scolytid system.
