Scolytid beetles associated with douglas fir: response to terpenes
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|April 8, 1966
Abstract:
Douglas-fir oleoresin and the terpene hydrocarbons (alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, litnonene, camphene, geraniol, and alpha-terpineol) attracted various bark and timber beetles associated with Douiglas-fir forests during their flight. In responding to these volatile terpenes the bettles are directed to favorable breeding material.
