Abstract

The pheromones lineatum and (+)-sulcatol were used in traps in a sawmill to survey the ambrosia beetles Trypodendron lineatum (Olivier) and Gnathotrichus retusus (LeConte) respectively. Spatial and temporal distribution patterns for both species were identified. This information can be used for the establishment of a pheromone-based mass-trapping program for ambrosia beetles. The addition of ethanol and α-pinene to traps baited with (+)-sulcatol significantly increased the catches of G. retusus.

Résumé

Les phéromones lineatum et (+)-sulcatol ont été utilisées dans des pièges installés sur le site d'un moulin à scie afin de surveiller les scolytes Trypodendron lineatum (Olivier) et Gnathotrichus retusus (LeConte), respectivement. On a pu caractériser la distribution spatiale et temporelle de ces 2 espèces. Cette information pourra servir à établir un programme de piégeage en masse des scolytes à l'aide de phéromones. L'ajout d'éthanol et de l'α-pinène dans les pièges appâtés au (+)-sulcatol a augmenté significativement les captures de G. retusus.
