Chemical determinants of tree susceptibility to mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins)

Volatile constituents of bark from the two species of pine hosts of the mountain pine beetle, (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) were investigated as postulated factors in host tree discovery and selective attack by the insect. The anemo-olfactory, klinokinetic and klinotactic responses of pedestria...
