Guignard, Quentin; Bouwer, Marc Clement; Slippers, Bernard; Allison, Jeremy D. (Public Library of Science, 2020-12-31)A putative male-produced pheromone has recently been described for the global pest of pines, Sirex noctilio, but field-activity has not been demonstrated. This study aimed to investigate the pheromone biology of S. ...

Queffelec, Josephine; Gaudon, Justin M.; Miller, Daniel R.; Mckenney, Jessica L.; Allison, Jeremy D. (Oxford University Press, 2023-12)Colonization of hosts by bark beetles is generally mediated by aggregation pheromones. Species competing for the same resource can limit interspecific interactions and maintain reproductive isolation by using different ...

Guignard, Quentin; Slippers, Bernard; Allison, Jeremy D.; Spaethe, Johannes; Nikolic, Natasa (Entomological Society of Southern Africa, 2023-03)The woodwasp, Sirex noctilio, is a global pest of pines. Although it is known to be attracted to light and possess sexually dimorphic body colouration, the visual ecology of S. noctilio is poorly understood. ...

Slippers, Bernard; Hurley, Brett Phillip; Allison, Jeremy D. (NISC (Pty) Ltd and Informa UK Limited (trading as Taylor and Francis Group), 2020)There are numerous new and emerging technologies that allow for greater precision in forest pest management, from sequencing and chemical analyses to data collection through smart technologies, and integration, analysis ...

Sweeney, Jon.; Hughes, Cory.; Webster, Vincent.; Kostanowicz, Chantelle.; Webster, Reginald.; Mayo, Peter.; Allison, Jeremy D. (MDPI, 2020-09)Semiochemical-baited intercept traps are important tools used to collect information about the presence/absence and population dynamics of forest insects. The performance of these tools is influenced by trap location ...

Bouwer, Marc Clement; MacQuarrie, C.J.K. (Chris); Aguirre-Gil, O.J. (Oniel); Slippers, Bernard; Allison, Jeremy D. (Springer, 2020-06)Studies have demonstrated that semiochemical-baited intercept traps differ in their performance for sampling insects, but we have an incomplete understanding of how and why intercept trap design effects vary among insects. ...

Queffelec, Josephine; Allison, Jeremy D.; Greeff, Jaco M. (Jacobus Maree); Slippers, Bernard (Springer, 2021-02)Introduced species face numerous biological barriers before they can establish in a new environment. Understanding how they overcome these obstacles is crucial for the development of effective risk assessment and regulation. ...

Haavik, Laurel J.; Slippers, Bernard; Hurley, Brett Phillip; Dodds, Kevin J.; Scarr, Taylor; Turgeon, Jean J.; Allison, Jeremy D. (Wiley, 2020-06)1. Competition and predation are important components of biotic resistance, which helps define the invasibility of an ecosystem. 2. To search for evidence of biotic resistance to the European woodwasp, Sirex noctilio ...

Queffelec, Josephine; Sullivan, Brian; Mckenney, Jessica L.; Allison, Jeremy D. (Springer, 2023-02)Chemical signals are important mediators of interactions within forest ecosystems. In insects, pheromone signals mediate intraspecific interactions such as mate location and acceptance. The evolution of pheromones in insects ...

Scheepers, Luki-Marie; Allison, Jeremy D.; Bouwer, Marc Clement; Rohwer, Egmont Richard; Slippers, Bernard (NISC (Pty) Ltd and Informa UK Limited (trading as Taylor and Francis Group), 2020)For the large family Curculionidae, the number of species considered pests is expected to increase due to global movement of plant and soil material, as well as climate change. Pheromones are increasingly popular for use ...
