Abstract

Striped maple (Acer pensylvanicum L.) was compared with sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) for use in rearing Asian longhorned beetles (Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky)). Adult females lived longer when caged with twigs and small bolts harvested from A. pensylvanicum during late spring through early fall than with material from A. saccharum collected at the same time. Females had a shorter life-span when fed plant material from either tree species harvested from late fall through winter than with plant material from A. pensylvanicum harvested from late spring through early fall. Female A. glabripennis laid more viable eggs when provided with A. pensylvanicum rather than A. saccharum. Regardless of which of these two tree species females had experienced previously, they always chose to lay more eggs in A. pensylvanicum than in A. saccharum. Rearing A. glabripennis on A. pensylvanicum is therefore more efficient, especially when twigs and wood collected from late spring through early fall are used.

Résumé

Nous comparons l'utilisation de l'érable de Pennsylvanie (Acer pensylvanicum L.) et de l'érable à sucre (Acer saccharum Marsh.) pour l'élevage du longicorne asiatique (Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky)). Les femelles adultes vivent plus longtemps encagées avec des brindilles et de petits tronçons cueillis entre la fin du printemps et le début de l'automne sur A. pensylvanicum, plutôt que sur A. saccharum à la même période. Les femelles vivent moins longtemps lorsqu'elles sont nourries de matière végétale récoltée sur l'une ou l'autre espèce d'arbre entre la fin de l'automne et la fin de l'hiver que lorsqu'elles sont nourries de matière végétale provenant d'A. pensylvanicum entre la fin du printemps et le début de l'automne. Les femelles d'Anoplophoraglabripennis pondent plus d'oeufs viables lorsqu'elles sont nourries d'A. pensylvanicum plutôt que d'A. saccharum. Que les femelles aient été en contact antérieurement avec l'une ou l'autre des deux espèces d'arbres, elles choisissent toujours de pondre plus d'oeufs sur A. pensylvanicum que sur A. saccharum. Il est donc plus efficace d'élever A. glabripennis sur A. pensylvanicum, particulièrement si on utilise des brindilles et du bois récolté entre la fin du printemps et le début de l'automne.
