Abstract

Host preference of the pine shoot beetle, Tomicus piniperda (L.), was investigated in two laboratory choice test studies using red pine (Pinus resinosa Ait.) (Pinaceae), jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.), and Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris L.). Host preference of parent adult beetles was evaluated using freshly cut, similarly sized logs in a wind tunnel. Parent beetles colonized Scotch pine logs significantly more often when given a choice of Scotch pine and either red pine or jack pine logs, but did not show a preference when presented with red pine and jack pine logs. Host preference of progeny adults was tested in a laboratory bioassay using current-year pine shoots. Shoot-feeding progeny adults initiated tunnels in jack pine shoots significantly more often than in Scotch pine and red pine shoots, and preferred Scotch pine over red pine shoots. Shoots with diameters of 0.4–0.5 cm were attacked most frequently, regardless of species. Results suggest that the two North American pines are suitable hosts, but T. piniperda may be most likely to colonize Scotch pine, a European species. Efforts to detect or monitor T. piniperda populations in the Great Lakes and northeastern regions should focus on areas with abundant Scotch pine brood material. Progeny that emerge from brood material, however, may be as likely to shoot-feed in jack pine as in Scotch pine.

Résumé

Nous avons étudié le choix des hôtes chez Tomicus piniperda (L.) au cours de tests de choix en laboratoire, en présence de pins rouges (Pinus resinosa Ait.) (Pinaceae), de pins gris (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) et de pins sylvestres (Pinus sylvestris L.). Pour évaluer les préférences des adultes parents, nous avons disposé des troncs de tailles égales dans un tunnel aérodynamique. Les adultes parents colonisent les pins sylvestres significativement plus souvent en présence des trois espèces de pins, mais ne montrent pas de préférence quand ils sont mis en présence de pins rouges et de pins gris. Les préférences des adultes de la progéniture ont été testées en laboratoire sur des pousses de pins de l’année. Ces adultes qui se nourrissent à même les jeunes pousses font des galeries dans les pousses de pin gris significativement plus souvent que dans les pousses du pin rouge ou du pin sylvestre, et ils préfèrent le pin sylvestre au pin rouge. Quelle que soit l’espèce, les pousses de 0,4 à 0,5 cm sont attaquées le plus souvent. Ces résultats indiquent que les deux pins nord-américains sont des hôtes convenables, mais les scolytes T. piniperda peuvent être plus enclins à coloniser le pin sylvestre, une espèce européenne. Pour repérer ou pour suivre les populations de T. piniperda dans la région des Grands Lacs ou dans le nord-est, il faut cibler surtout le endroits où les insectes peuvent trouver des débris de pin sylvestre en abondance pour leur couvée. Cependant, la progéniture issue des couvées dans les débris de pin sylvestre risque de se nourrir autant de pousses de pin gris que de pousses de pin sylvestre.
