Improved Population Monitoring of Bark Beetles and Predators by Incorporating Disparate Behavioral Responses to Semiochemicals
- B. Aukema, D. Dahlsten, K. Raffa
- Environmental Science
- 1 June 2000
Variation between herbivores and their natural enemies in their phenology, preferred pheromone blends, and infested host material should be considered when developing estimates of relative pest and predator densities for subsequent management options.

Prevalence, Habitat Selection, and Biology of Protocalliphora (Diptera: Calliphoridae) Found in Nests of Mountain and Chestnut-backed Chickadees in California
- C. Gold, D. Dahlsten
- Biology, Environmental Science
- 1 June 1989
Larger nests apparently provided the larvae with refuges from probing activities of adult chickadees, allowing maximum survival in these nests, and Nest odor probably aids Protocalliphora females in nest location, but other short-range stimuli apparently determine which hosts are acceptable for oviposition.
Urban Forests and Insect EcologyComplex interactions among trees, insects, and people
- S. Dreistadt, D. Dahlsten, G. Frankie
- Environmental Science
- 1 March 1990
Research on human influences on the ecology of urban forest insects is reviewed and changes in plant diversity, introducing exotic species, polluting the environment, and placing trees under stress are reviewed.

Exploiting Behavioral Disparities Among Predators and Prey to Selectively Remove Pests: Maximizing the Ratio of Bark Beetles to Predators Removed During Semiochemically Based Trap-Out
- B. Aukema, D. Dahlsten, K. Raffa
- Biology
- 1 June 2000
Lures that contain enantiomers of ipsdienol most preferred by I. pini, in combination with lanierone, can selectively remove up to three to six times more pests than predators during the spring, and delaying deployment of the same lures until summer can result in removal of up to 39 times more pest than predators.
Biological control of the blue gum psyllid proves economically beneficial

In 1992 a parasitoid native to Australia was introduced into California in a biological control program directed against the blue gum psyllid from Australia. Interviews with baby blue gum eucalyptus…

Plus de 90% des nids de Parus ganubeli et de P. rufescens sont infestes dans une zone cotiere en Californie, affirmant que la mortalite des jeunes dues a cette cause est faible.
The Post-Burning Response of Bark Beetles to Prescribed Burning Treatments
