Vermont Bark and Ambrosia Beetle Records - Vermont Department of Forest, Parks and Recreation

<p>Records were compiled from a number of projects, including survey work for Tomicus piniperda, Early Detection Rapid Response (EDRR) project, and others.</p>
<p>Survey work for Tomicus piniperda began in 1999. Trapping efforts continued through 2005. Over this period, ten Lindgren funnel traps baited with alpha-pinene lure and UHR ethanol were deployed in high-risk sites in most Vermont counties. Traps were placed in the field by mid-March and serviced every two weeks through the end of June. Through our trapping efforts, first records of T. piniperda were made for the following counties: Essex and Orleans Counties in 1999; Caledonia County in 2000; Washington County in 2003; Addison, Grand Isle, and Lamoille Counties in 2004. In September 2004, the entire state of Vermont was quarantined for the pine shoot beetle. Our final surveys for pine shoot beetle were conducted in the four southernmost counties of Vermont in 2005. Traps were deployed in Scots pine stands or red pine stands. That year, fragments of pine shoot beetle were recovered from traps in three Rutland County sites, including Pawlet and two sites in Castleton. By that time, pine shoot beetle had been found in 8 counties in Vermont. A total of about 7,793 non-target bark beetles were collected in the traps. We considered the “by-catch” records provided through this work of value in giving us a handle of what occurs naturally in Vermont. Jessica Rykken identified by-catch Scolytinae.

FPR’S participation in the Early Detection Rapid Response (EDRR) project took place in 2009 when we had an opportunity to join Maine, Rhode Island, and Connecticut in running EDRR traps for exotic bark beetles. This was a cooperative national program that had a goal of surveying 1/3 of the country every year. Mary Burnham screened those trap catches and identified non-targets. Specimens were submitted and species confirmed by specialists.</p>

<p>本数据集的记录汇编自多个项目，包括对Tomicus piniperda的调查研究、早期发现快速响应（EDRR）项目以及其他项目。</p><p>对Tomicus piniperda的调查研究始于1999年，并持续至2005年。在此期间，我们在佛蒙特州多数高风险地区部署了十套以α-松节油为诱饵、UHR乙醇为诱捕剂的Lindgren漏斗式诱捕器。诱捕器于三月中期放置于野外，并每两周进行一次维护，直至六月末。通过我们的诱捕工作，首次在以下县记录到T. piniperda：1999年的艾塞克斯县和奥兰治县；2000年的卡德尼亚县；2003年的华盛顿县；2004年的艾迪生县、格兰德伊尔县和拉莫伊县。2004年9月，佛蒙特州因松树嫩枝甲虫而全面封锁。2005年，我们在佛蒙特州最南端的四个县进行了对松树嫩枝甲虫的最后调查。诱捕器被放置在苏格兰松树或红松树林中。当年，从三个拉特兰县的诱捕器中回收到了松树嫩枝甲虫的碎片，包括帕韦莱特和卡斯尔顿的两个地点。到那时，松树嫩枝甲虫已在佛蒙特州的8个县被发现。总共收集了约7,793只非目标树皮甲虫。我们认为，通过这项工作提供的“误捕”记录对于我们了解佛蒙特州自然发生情况具有重要价值。Jessica Rykken鉴定了误捕的Scolytinae。</p><p>FPR参与早期发现快速响应（EDRR）项目始于2009年，当时我们有机会加入缅因州、罗德岛州和康涅狄格州，共同进行对非本土树皮甲虫的EDRR诱捕。这是一个旨在每年调查全国1/3地区的合作性国家项目。Mary Burnham对这些诱捕器的捕获物进行了筛选，并鉴定了非目标物种。样本被提交给专家进行鉴定，并确认了物种。</p>
