Abstract:
... Diplodia sapinea, an important pathogen of various conifer species, was recently recorded in the northern Baltic region. The pathogen can disperse over short distances via rain or wind, whereas long range dispersal occurs via movement of contaminated plant material and seeds by humans, as well as by insects. Hylobius abietis is one of the most important forest pests over large areas of Europe. Adu ...

Hylobius abietis; Picea abies; adults; egg production; females; forest regeneration; girdling; locomotion; males; plant response; seedlings; Europe
Abstract:
... The pine weevil [Hylobius abietis (L.); Coleoptera: Curculionidae] has a high economic impact on forest regeneration in Europe. The general biology of the pine weevil has received considerable attention, although there is insufficient knowledge about its diel behaviour and time budget. Therefore, in the present study, the feeding and locomotion behaviour of individual adult weevils on Norway spruc ...

Abstract:
... Entomopathogenic nematodes are being applied to tree stumps on coniferous clearfell sites in Europe for inundative biological control of the large pine weevil (Hylobius abietis; Coleoptera: Curculionidae), a major forestry pest. We investigated the risk that two nematode species, Steinernema carpocapsae and Heterorhabditis downesi (Nematoda: Rhabditidae), present to longhorn beetle Rhagium bifasci ...

4. Cues For Shelter Use in a Phytophagous Insect

Journal of insect behavior 2008 v.21 no.1 pp. 9-23

Subject:
Hylobius abietis; adults; bark; conifers; forest pests; insect behavior; phytophagous insects; posture; probability; seedlings; wind; Europe
Abstract:
... Many insects spend a large proportion of their life inactive, often hiding in shelters. The presence of shelters may, therefore, influence where insects feed. This study examines stimuli affecting the use of shelters by adults of the pine weevil, Hylobius abietis (L.) (Coleoptera, Curculionidae). This species is an economically important forest pest in Europe since the adults feed on the stem bark ...
