Depuis plusieurs dizaines d’années, une diminution notoire des populations de pollinisateurs a été signalée dans de nombreux pays par les professionnels et les scientifiques. L’enjeu économique et écologique représenté par la perte de ces individus a déterminé la mise en oeuvre de nombreuses études sur le sujet. Plusieurs hypothèses de facteurs de risques ont été avancées pour tenter d’expliquer ce phénomène. En France, notamment, les apiculteurs ont alerté les pouvoirs publics quant à un effet potentiel de certains traitements phytopharmaceutiques à usage agricole sur la vitalité des colonies d’abeilles domestiques (Apis mellifera), entraînant la décision par le Ministre …

Numerous recent studies have tested the effects of plant, pollinator, and predator diversity on primary productivity, pollination, and consumption, respectively. Many have shown a positive relationship, particularly in controlled experiments, but variability in results has emphasized the context-dependency of these relationships. Complementary resource use may lead to a positive relationship between diversity and these processes, but only when a diverse array of niches is available to be partitioned among species. Therefore, the slope of the diversity-function relationship may change across differing levels of heterogeneity, but empirical evaluations of this pattern are lacking. Here we examine three important functions/properties in different …

We studied the biology of Dendroctonus murrayanae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) in lodgepole pine, Pinus contorta Douglas, in Idaho and Montana. The beetle was not a primary agent of tree mortality. Susceptible host trees were physically damaged, had thin foliage, or were otherwise predisposed to infestation. Beetles attacked individual trees, not in groups, near ground level and at low density. Life stages and their behavior are described. Egg galleries were constructed upward and usually had short spurs. Mating occurred in the egg gallery. Eggs were laid in an elongated group, not in niches, in a shallow excavation along only one …
