Figure 5

Diversity and quantity of ambrosia beetles collected by associated semiochemical treatment. Mean (±SEM) of ambrosia beetles captured, per species. (A) ethanol lures, (B) untreated control, (C) plots treated with methyl salicylate SPLAT (far and close traps combined), (D) plots treated with verbenone SPLAT (far and close traps combined). ‘Close’ indicates monitoring traps were ~5–10 cm from repellent dispenser, while ‘far’ indicates traps were ~1–1.5 m from repellent. Note the change in the scales of the y axis with reference to the reduction of beetles observed with MeSA and verbenone treatments. Genus names by abbreviation: A. = Acropteroxys, C. = Cychlorhipidion, D. = Dryocoetoides, E. = Euwallacea, H. = Hylocurus, and X. = Xyleborus.
