Title:
The relationship between outbreaks and environmental stress for Sirex Noctilio
Agreement Number:
GC-129341S
Agreement Value:
$30,000.00
Agreement Date:
Jan 22, 2019 - Mar 31, 2019
Description:
The purpose of this agreement is to explore some of the mechanisms underlying the relationship between outbreaks and environmental stress. Objective 1 is to evaluate the effects of different levels of artificial stress on adult female preferences and performance. Objective 2 is to evaluate growth of A. areolatum in 2 different North American pines species cultivated in Patagonia and under different temperature conditions. Objective 3 is to quantify variations in female adult body size in outbreak and non-outbreak sites and regions.
Organization:
Natural Resources Canada
Expected Results:
  1. Sirex noctilio reference/performance information will be determined as well as the relationship between tree stress and population build-up. 2. Optimal fungal symbiont growth temperatures and thresholds will be established. 3. Size distribution curves of adults, for outbreak and non-outbreak areas will be determined.
