Effects of Grand Fir Monoterpenes on the Fir Engraver, Scolytus ventralis (Coleoptera: Scolytidae), and its Symbiotic Fungus
Abstract
Monoterpenes present in grand fir, Abies grandis (Douglas) Lindley, phloem were tested for their effects on fir engraver, Scolytus ventralis LeConte, adults and the symbiotic fungus Trichosporium symbioticum Wright. All of the monoterpene vapors caused significant beetle mortality within 4 h. Toxicity was observed at doses normally found in the host tree, either in unattacked phloem or in reaction tissue induced by the pathogen. Incorporation of any monoterpenes into the growth medium, at doses normally found in the host tree, substantially reduced T. symbioticum growth. Limonene was the most inhibitory synthetic compound, but grand fir resin had a greater effect. This suggests that other factors are also involved in fungal inhibition.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
