Abstract:
... The distribution of genetic variation within and among 20 European sites infested by the large pine weevil, Hylobius abietis, was analysed using dominant amplified fragment length polymorphism markers. Analysis of molecular variance was performed at the European, regional and local scales. Most of the genetic variability was found within rather than among populations and the global fixation index ...

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 ...

Abstract:
... Hylobius abietis is an important pest of coniferous plantations in Europe, to which high mortality, stem deformities, and growth loss are typically attributed. In pine trees, as in other long-lived organisms, there is uncertainty regarding the long-term costs of short-term resistance against invading organisms. We examined the nutritional status of Pinus pinaster after a 2-year long H. abietis att ...

Abstract:

However, most studies to date are based on pairs of native and alien species, and the results remain inconclusive. The level of attack by native generalist herbivores can vary considerably between plant species, depending on defensive tr ...

Abstract:
... The pine weevil is one of the most important pest insects of conifer reforestation areas in Europe. Female pine weevils cover their eggs with chewed bark and feces (frass) resulting in avoidance behavior of feeding conspecifics towards egg laying sites. It has been suggested that microorganisms present in the frass may be responsible for producing deterrent compounds for the pine weevil. The fungi ...

Abstract:
... In large parts of Europe, insecticide-free measures for protecting conifer plants are desired to suppress damage by the pine weevil Hylobius abietis (L.). Treatment with methyl jasmonate (MeJA), a chemical elicitor already used in crop production, may enhance expression of chemical defenses in seedlings in conifer regenerations. However, in a previous experiment, MeJA treatment resulted in substan ...
