Abstract:
... Nursery-grown Norway spruce Picea abies seedlings are often heavily attacked by the pine weevil Hylobius abietis on clear-cuts the first years after planting. Because the seedlings are not resource-limited during the growing phase in the nursery they are expected to invest less in defence than naturally regenerated seedlings already present on the clear-cuts. The latter have had to cope with vario ...

Abstract:
... Coniferous forests in Europe have a considerable number of pests that attack trees of all ages from youngest up to oldest ones. One of them is the large pine weevil Hylobius abietis. This species is widespread in Europe and occurs from warm southern areas (Spain) up to northern countries (Sweden, Finland). Larvae of this species do not cause damage, they help in the decomposition process of stumps ...

Abstract:
... The pine weevil (Hylobius abietis L.) is among the worst pests of newly planted conifer seedlings in Europe. EU regulations restrict the use of insecticides, the cost of mechanical site preparation (MSP) is high, and it has even been suggested that MSP should be abandoned due to social and environmental causes. The aim of this study was to investigate i) the field performance of Norway spruce (Pic ...

Abstract:
... Insects are able to detect a plethora of olfactory cues using a divergent family of odorant receptors (ORs). Despite the divergent nature of this family, related species frequently express several evolutionarily conserved OR orthologues. In the largest order of insects, Coleoptera, it remains unknown whether OR orthologues have conserved or divergent functions in different species. Using HEK293 ce ...
