Book Synopsis Mountain Pine Beetle Range Expansion by : Katherine Patricia Bleiker
Download or read book Mountain Pine Beetle Range Expansion written by Katherine Patricia Bleiker and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For this report the authors investigated whether an endemic niche exists for the mountain pine beetle (MPB) in north-western Alberta, a region east of the Rocky Mountains that was recently invaded by beetles. Their approach was to sample endemic or endemic-incipient MPB populations in the region in situ, including the assemblage of secondary bark beetles with which the MPB may interact. The objectives of this project were threefold: (i) determine the potential for MPB to persist at endemic levels east of the Rockies; (ii) if persistence is possible, determine the rate of population increase or decrease to assess the potential for eruptions and spread; and (iii) provide data to existing and emergent decision support tools to re-parameterize, where appropriate, to accommodate MPB dynamics in a new habitat.--Document.
Book Synopsis Animals' Influence on the Landscape and Ecological Importance by : Friedrich-Karl Holtmeier
Download or read book Animals' Influence on the Landscape and Ecological Importance written by Friedrich-Karl Holtmeier and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-22 with total page 547 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In its first English-language edition, this book introduces the many-faceted interactions of animal populations with their habitats. From soil fauna, ants and termites to small and large herbivores, burrowing mammals and birds, the author presents a comprehensive analysis of animals and ecosystems that is as broad and varied as all nature. Chapter 2 addresses the functional role of animals in landscape ecosystems, emphasizing fluxes of energy and matter within and between ecosystems, and the effects of animals on qualitative and structural habitat change. Discussion includes chapters on the role of animal population density and the impacts of native herbivores on vegetation and habitats from the tropics to the polar regions. Cyclic mass outbreaks of species such as the larch bud moth in Switzerland, the mountain pine beetle and the African red-billed weaver bird are described and analyzed. Other chapters discuss Zoochory – the dispersal of seeds by ants, mammals and birds – and the influence of burrowing animals on soil development and geomorphology. Consideration extends to the impact of feral domestic animals. Chapter 5 focuses on problems resulting from introduction of alien animals and from re-introduction of animal species to their original habitats, discusses the effects on ecosystems of burrowing, digging and trampling by animals. The author also addresses keystone species such as kangaroo rats, termites and beavers. Chapter 6 addresses the role of animals in landscape management and nature conservation, with chapters on the impact of newcomer species such as animals introduced into Australia, New Zealand and Europe, and the consequences of reintroduction of species to original habitat. It also discusses the carrying capacity of natural habit, public attitudes toward conversation and more. The final section ponders the effects of climate on interactions between animals and their habitats.

Book excerpt: "This book presents a synthesis of published information on mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins [Coleoptera: Scolytidae]) biology and management with an emphasis on lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. ex Loud. var. latifolia Engelm.) forests of western Canada. Intended as a reference for researchers as well as forest managers, the book covers three main subject areas: mountain pine beetle biology, management, and socioeconomic concerns. The chapters on biology cover taxonomy, life history and habits, distribution, insect-host tree interactions, development and survival, epidemiology, and outbreak history. The management section covers management strategy, survey and detection, proactive and preventive management, and decision support tools. The chapters on socioeconomic aspects include an economic examination of management programs and the utilization of post-beetle salvage timber in solid wood, panelboard, pulp and paper products."--Publisher's description.

Book Synopsis Social Dimensions of Community Vulnerability to Mountain Pine Beetle by : Norah MacKendrick
Download or read book Social Dimensions of Community Vulnerability to Mountain Pine Beetle written by Norah MacKendrick and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is widespread recognition that the outbreak of mountain pine beetle (MPB) will have significant social & economic impacts on forest-based communities. This report presents the result of a vulnerability assessment in 11 British Columbia and two Alberta communities located in regions experiencing various levels of MPB activity. To assess community vulnerability, the project first builds a vulnerability framework based on social science research in the areas of climate change, community capacity, hazards management, and risk perception, as well as on focus group meetings in five of the studied communities. Variables & indicators included in this framework are then measured & combined into a vulnerability index, with index scores assigned to each community. The spatial variation in vulnerability is further illustrated using geographic information systems analysis. The final assessment reflects that vulnerability is not only a function of physical exposure to beetle activity but also of various social, economic, & political factors.

Download or read book Environmental Effects on Host Selection and Dispersal of Mountain Pine Beetle written by Mary Lynn Reid and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is part of a series of research papers that explore the biological, social, and economic aspects of British Columbia's mountain pine beetle epidemic. It summarizes the results of a study on the landscape variation in lodgepole pine constitutive defences, primarily measured as resin production, but also as phloem monoterpene concentration. The response of pioneer mountain pine beetles to those defences is reviewed, measured by experimentally placing beetles on trees and by attacks of free-flying beetles; effects of beetle quality (size, condition) on the beetles' responses are also examined. Finally, the results on the dispersal of mountain pine beetles through a mature lodgepole pine stand and a burned stand are presented.--Includes text from Government of Canada publications site and from document.
