Comparison of baited bottle and multiple-Funnel Traps for ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) in Eastern United States 1
Journal of Entomological Science, 2018Co-Authors: Daniel R Miller, Christopher M. Crowe, M.d. Ginzel, C.m. Ranger, P.b. SchultzAbstract:Abstract We compared bottle Traps to 4-unit multiple-Funnel Traps (both baited with ethanol and conophthorin) for relative efficacy in catching ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) at four locations in the eastern United States. Our results were geographically inconsistent for three target species. Catches of Xylosandrus germanus (Blandford) in Ohio were greater in bottle Traps than in Funnel Traps while the opposite occurred in Virginia, with no difference in Indiana. Catches of Xyleborinus saxesenii (Ratzeburg) were greater in Funnel Traps than in bottle Traps in Georgia, Indiana, and Virginia but no different in Ohio. Similarly, catches of Xylosandrus crassiusculus (Motschulsky) were greater in Funnel Traps than in bottle Traps in Georgia and Virginia but not in Indiana. Bottle Traps caught more Anisandrus maiche Stark in Ohio and Anisandrus sayi (Hopkins) in Indiana whereas more of the following species were caught in Funnel Traps: Ambrosiophilus atratus (Eichhoff) in Virginia, Cy...

Attaching lures to multiple-Funnel Traps targeting saproxylic beetles (Coleoptera) in pine stands: inside or outside Funnels?
Journal of Economic Entomology, 2013Co-Authors: Daniel R Miller, Christopher M. Crowe, Brittany F. Barnes, Kamal J. K. Gandhi, Donald A. DuerrAbstract:ABSTRACT We conducted two field trapping experiments with multiple-Funnel Traps in 2008 and one experiment in 2010 to determine the effects of lure placement (inside or outside Funnels) on catches of saproxylic species of beetles (Coleoptera). The experiments were conducted in southern pine (Pinus spp.) stands in central Georgia using combinations of ethanol, α-pinene, ipsenol, and ipsdienol lures. We report on a modification to the multiple-Funnel trap that allows placement of large lures inside the confines of the Funnels with minimal blockage. In general, catches of five species of common longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae), two species of regeneration weevils (Curculionidae), four species of bark beetles (Curculionidae: Scolytinae), and seven species of beetle predators and ectoparasites (Cleridae, Histeridae, Tenebrionidae, Trogossitidae, and Zopheridae) were higher in Funnel Traps with lures attached inside the Funnels than in those with lures attached outside of the Funnels. Catches of the remaining sp...

Relative Performance of Lindgren Multiple-Funnel, Intercept Panel, and Colossus Pipe Traps in Catching Cerambycidae and Associated Species in the Southeastern United States
Journal of Economic Entomology, 2011Co-Authors: Daniel R Miller, Christopher M. CroweAbstract:In 2004, we evaluated the relative performance of 8-unit Lindgren multiple-Funnel (Funnel), Intercept panel (panel), and Colossus pipe (pipe) Traps, baited with ethanol and α-pinene lures, in catching saproxylic beetles (Coleoptera) in pine stands in northern Florida and western South Carolina. Panel Traps were as good as, if not better than, Funnel and pipe Traps for catching Cerambycidae. In particular, more Monochamus titillator (F.) were captured in panel Traps than in pipe and Funnel Traps. Of three species of Buprestidae captured in our study, most Buprestis lineata F. were caught in panel Traps, whereas most Acmaeodera tubulus (F.) were caught in Funnel Traps. Catches of Chalcophora virginiensis Drury and the root-feeding weevils Hylobius pales Herbst and Pachylobius picivorus LeConte (Curculionidae) were unaffected by trap type. Among bark beetles (Curculionidae: Scolytinae), catches of Ips grandicollis (Eichhoff) were unaffected by trap type, whereas most Dendroctonus terebrans (Olivier) were caught in panel Traps, most Hylastes salebrosus Eichhoff were caught in panel and pipe Traps, and most Hylastes tenuis Eichhoff were caught in Funnel Traps. Among ambrosia beetles (Curculionidae: Scolytinae), panel Traps caught the most Xyleborinus saxesenii (Ratzeburg), whereas pipe Traps caught the most Xyleborus Eichhoff spp. More Xylosandrus crassiusculus (Motschulsky) and Dryoxylon onoharaensis (Murayama) were caught in panel and Funnel Traps than in pipe Traps. Among bark beetle predators, more Platysoma Leach spp. (Histeridae) were caught in pipe and panel Traps than in Funnel Traps, whereas most Lasconotus Erichson spp. (Zopheridae) were caught in Funnel Traps. Variation among trap performance for various species suggests that managers should consider more than one type of trap in their detection programs.

Length of multiple-Funnel Traps affects catches of some bark and wood boring beetles in a slash pine stand in northern Florida.
Florida Entomologist, 2009Co-Authors: Daniel R Miller, Christopher M. CroweAbstract:The multiple-Funnel trap has gained broad acceptance for catching bark and ambrosia beetles since the trap was developed more than 25 years ago (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) (Lindgren 1983). The trap consists of black plastic Funnels aligned vertically over each other, allowing for intercepted beetles to fall through the Funnels into a wet or dry collection cup located on the bottom Funnel. Currently, there are 2 national programs in the USA that use baited multiple-Funnel Traps for detecting exotic species: the Cooperative Agricultural Pest Survey (CAPS) and the Early Detection and Rapid Response program (EDRR) (USDA APHIS 2007; Rabaglia et al. 2008). Multiple-Funnel Traps are available in several sizes or lengths, expressed by the number of Funnels (4-, 8-, 12or 16-unit) (Contech Inc., Delta, BC; Synergy Semiochemicals Corp., Burnaby, BC). The general expectation is that longer multiple-Funnel Traps catch more beetles. In support of that position, Hoover et al. (2000) found that catches of the striped ambrosia beetle, Trypodendron lineatum (Olivier) (Coleoptera: Scolytidae), in Traps baited with the pheromone lineatin, increased as the length of Traps were increased from 4 to 16 units. Haack & Lawrence (1997) found that catches of Tomicus piniperda (L.) were higher in 12and 16unit Traps than in 8-unit ones. The objective of our study was to verify that long multiple-Funnel Traps (16-unit) catch more bark and wood boring beetles than short Traps (8unit) in a slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm.) stand in northern Florida. We focused our study on common southern species attracted to the binary combination of ethanol and (–)-α-pinene used in the national programs (Miller 2006; Miller & Rabaglia 2009). We conducted 1 trapping experiment in a mature slash pine stand on the Osceola National Forest near Olustee, FL for 9 weeks in 2001 (29 Aug-8 Nov). PheroTech Inc. (now Contech) supplied separate lures for releasing ethanol and (–)-α-pinene at rates of approximately 0.6 and 2 g/d, respectively, as well as 8unit and 16-unit multiple-Funnel Traps. Traps were set in 6 blocks of 2 Traps per block with all Traps set 10-15 m apart. There were 2 treatments: (1) 8-unit; and (2) 16-unit multiple-Funnel Traps. One trap of each treatment type was randomly assigned to a position within each block. All Traps were baited with ethanol and (–)-α-pinene. Each trap was suspended between trees by rope such that the bottom of each was 0.2-0.5 m above ground level. No trap was within 2 m of any tree. Collection cups contained approximately 150 mL of pink propylene glycol solution (Peak RV and Marine Antifreeze, Old World Industries Inc., Northbrook, IL). Using SYSTAT ver. 11.00.01 (SYSTAT Inc., Point Richmond, CA), we conducted two-sided t tests on data transformed by ln(y + 1) to remove heteroscedasticity (Pepper et al. 1997). Catches of Arhopalus rusticus nubilus (LeConte) (Cerambycidae) in 16-unit Traps were 143% greater than those in 8-unit Traps (Table 1).

Comparison of arboreal beetle catches in wet and dry collection cups with Lindgren multiple Funnel Traps.
Journal of Economic Entomology, 2008Co-Authors: Daniel R Miller, Donald A. DuerrAbstract:Abstract We compared the effectiveness of a dry collection cup (with an insecticide killing strip) to a wet collection cup (containing antifreeze) for use with Lindgren multiple-Funnel Traps in catching several common species of bark and wood-boring beetles, and their associates in southern pine forests. All Traps were baited with either the binary combination of ethanol and (−)-α-pinene or the quaternary combination of (±)-ipsenol, (±)-ipsdienol, ethanol, and (−)-α-pinene. We found that cup treatment had little, if any, effect on catches of Ips avulsus (Eichhoff) and I. grandicollis (Eichhoff) (Coleoptera: Scolytidae), Alaus myops (F.) (Elateridae), Chalcophora Solier species (Buprestidae), Temnochila virescens (F.) (Trogositidae), and Lasconotus Erichson species (Colydiidae). In contrast, catches of the following species were significantly less (by 40–97%) in Traps with dry cups than in Traps with wet cups: Hylobius pales Herbst and Pachylobius picivorus LeConte (Curculionidae); Buprestis lineata F. (Bu...

1 octen 3 ol is repellent to ips pini coleoptera curculionidae scolytinae in the midwestern united states
Canadian Entomologist, 2009Co-Authors: Therese M. Poland, Tina M Ciaramitaro, Deepa S Pureswaran, John H. BordenAbstract:Abstract In field experiments at three sites in Michigan and Ohio we tested the activity of 1-octen-3-ol in combination with ipsdienol, the aggregation pheromone of the pine engraver, Ips pini (Say). When 1-octen-3-ol was added to Funnel Traps baited with ipsdienol, significantly fewer beetles of either sex were captured than in Traps baited with ipsdienol alone. This result suggests that the compound is potentially repellent and interrupts the response of beetles to their aggregation pheromone, and is consistent with previous reports of its inhibition of aggregation behaviour in other bark beetles.

an improved trap for large wood boring insects with special reference to monochamus scutellatus coleoptera cerambycidae
Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 2002Co-Authors: W D Morewood, K E Hein, P J Katinic, John H. BordenAbstract:Commercially available multiple Funnel Traps have three potential limitations for trapping large wood-boring insects: (i) escape by captured insects from the dry collecting cup, (ii) low catches of insects that fall outside the trap, and (iii) poor visual orientation to the narrow Funnel column. To test the importance of these limitations, we compared conventional multiple Funnel Traps to multiple Funnel Traps with water-filled collecting cups or large bottom Funnels and to crossvane Traps with a prominent silhouette. The experiment was conducted in a mill yard in the southern interior of British Columbia between 5 July and 2 October 2000. Differences in catch among different trap types indicated that the first and third of the three potential limitations were important for the capture of most target species. Crossvane Traps captured significantly greater numbers of most Cerambycidae and Siricidae, and similar numbers of most Buprestidae, compared with the other Traps. Of the two most abundant species, Xy...

Verbenone: Dose-Dependent Interruption of Pheromone-Based Attraction of Three Sympatric Species of Pine Bark Beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytidae)
Environmental Entomology, 1995Co-Authors: Daniel R Miller, John H. Borden, B. Staffan LindgrenAbstract:Verbenone significantly reduced catches of Ips latidens (LeConte), I. pini (Say), and Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins in multiple-Funnel Traps, baited with aggregation pheromones, in stands of lodgepole pine in southern British Columbia. Interruption of attraction was dose dependent for all three species. There were no significant differences in attraction between the sexes. Variation in successful use of verbenone in protecting pine stands partially may be explained by the dose-dependent variation in responses.

Ipsenol: an aggregation pheromone forIps latidens (Leconte) (Coleoptera: Scolytidae)
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1991Co-Authors: Daniel R Miller, G. G. S. King, John H. Borden, Keith N. SlessorAbstract:Ipsenol was identified from the frass of male, but not female, Ips latidens from British Columbia, feeding in phloem tissue of lodgepole pine, Pinus contorta var. latifolia . The responses of J. latidens to sources of ips-enol and cis -verbenol were determined with multiple-Funnel Traps in stands of lodgepole pine in British Columbia. Ipsenol attracted both male and female I. latidens , verifying that it is a pheromone for this species. Male I. latidens showed a slight preference for ( S )-(−)-ipsenol. cis -Verbenol was not produced by beetles of either sex and, in contrast to an earlier report, both enantiomers inhibited attraction to ipsenol-baited Traps. The predators, Enoclerus sphegeus and Thanasimus undatulus (Cleridae), were attracted to Traps baited with cis -verbenol and ipsenol.

β phellandrene kairomone for pine engraver ips pini say coleoptera scolytidae
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1990Co-Authors: Daniel R Miller, John H. BordenAbstract:The responses ofIps pini (Scolytidae) to multiple-Funnel Traps baited with the pheromone, ipsdienol, and various monoterpenes were determined in stands of lodgepole pine in southern and central British Columbia.Ips pini was attracted to both ipsdienol and β-phellandrene, demonstrating that β-phellandrene is a kairomone for this species.Lasconotus complex (Colydiidae) and aCorticeus sp. (Tenebrionidae) were attracted to both ipsdienol and β-phellandrene. TheCorticeus sp. exhibited a synergistic response to the combination of ipsdienol and β-phellandrene; the responses of the other two species to the combination were additive. The predators,Thanasimus undatulus, Enoclerus sphegeus, andE. lecontei (Cleridae), were attracted to ipsdienol-baited Traps, whileMonochamus clamator (Cerambycidae) andDendroctonus ponderosae (Scolytidae) were attracted to β-phellandrene. Attraction of all eight species increased with increasing release rates of ipsdienol and/or β-phellandrene.

Mass-trapping ofCarpophilus spp. (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) in stone fruit orchards using synthetic aggregation pheromones and a coattractant: Development of a strategy for population suppression
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1996Co-Authors: David G. James, Robert J. Bartelt, Christopher J MooreAbstract:Experiments were conducted in southern New South Wales to evaluate the potential of mass-trapping using synthetic aggregation pheromones and a coattractant as a control option for Carpophilus spp. in stone fruit orchards. A cordon of 54 pipe and 54 Funnel Traps (one trap of each type per perimeter tree) baited with pheromones of C. mutilatus and C. davidsoni and coattractant (fermenting bread dough) was maintained around an apricot orchard for three weeks prior to harvest. The incidence of Carpophilus spp. in ripe fruit in the center of the orchard was significantly reduced compared to a nearby orchard or the perimeter trees containing Traps. A cordon of 16 water-filled Magnet Funnel Traps baited with pheromones of C. mutilatus and C. davidsoni and coattractant was placed around a 9 × 9 block of trees in a peach orchard (single Traps on alternate perimeter trees). This trapping regime significantly reduced infestation of fruit baits by Carpophilus spp. in the center tree over a period of six weeks compared to fruit baits in trap trees and distant (100 m) control trees. However, cordons of eight pheromone Traps within 1 m of single trees or a single trap adjacent to a tree increased Carpophilus spp. infestation of fruit baits by up to 7.5 × compared to trees without pheromone Traps. Mass-trapping based on perimeter positioning of pheromone Traps (at a yet to be determined distance from protected trees) appears to show potential as a control strategy for Carpophilus spp. in stone fruit orchards during fruit ripening and harvest but Traps too close to trees must be avoided. Development of a strategy for population suppression is discussed with respect to trap type, efficacy, positioning, and density; pheromone and coattractant delivery systems; and orchard sanitation.

Trap Design Effect on Capture of Carpophilus spp. (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) Using Synthetic Aggregation Pheromones and a Coattractant
Journal of Economic Entomology, 1996Co-Authors: David G. James, Robert J. Bartelt, Christopher J MooreAbstract:In a series of experiments conducted in stone fruit orchards in southern Australia, water-based Funnel-type Traps baited with synthetic aggregation pheromone and fermenting bread dough, trapped 3- to 7-fold as many Carpophihus beetles (primarily C. dauidsoni) than wind-oriented pipe Traps or dry Funnel Traps. The efficacy of dry Funnel Traps but not pipe Traps, appeared to be improved by using water-filled collecting bottles. The potential for using water-based Funnel Traps in population suppression of Carpophilus spp. in stone fruit orchards through mass trapping is discussed.

Effect of ethanol and α-pinene on response of ambrosia beetle,Trypodendron lineatum, to lineatin-baited Funnel and drainpipe Traps
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1996Co-Authors: T. L. Shore, B. S. LindgrenAbstract:The response of T. lineatum to ethanol and α-pinene, when used with the pheromone lineatin, was tested for two trap types. Funnel Traps, which are passive barrier Traps, caught significantly more beetles than drainpipe Traps, which require an active response by the beetle to enter the trap. However, the response of T. lineatum to the semiochemical treatments did not significantly differ for the two trap types. Treatments that included α-pinene with the pheromone, either with or without ethanol, caught significantly more T. lineatin than those with the pheromone alone. When ethanol and or α-pinene were added to the pheromone significantly more female beetles were trapped than with pheromone alone. Male-female ratios were significantly lower for both types of Traps when ethanol was included in the bait than for lineatin alone or with α-pinene. A higher percentage of male beetles entered the drainpipe Traps than was captured with Funnel Traps.
