Feeding and boring behavior of the bark beetle,Ips paraconfusus, in extracts of ponderosa pine phloem

J S Elkinton et al. J Chem Ecol. 1981 Jan.

Abstract

MaleIps paraconfusus Lanier bored and fed in cellulose powder substrates treated with solvent extracts of ponderosa pine phloem in preference to cellulose powder alone. Stimuli that elicit boring and feeding behavior occurred in the water extracts and the combined solvent extracts. No significant boring or feeding occurred in the methanol extract. There was a preference for, but no significant feeding in, the water partition of the ether extract. Feeding, but no preferential boring, occurred in the ether extracts.
