Genes, enzymes and chemicals of terpenoid diversity in the constitutive and induced defence of conifers against insects and pathogens. (2006, background): “…2003); the emission may also fail to synergize with insect pheromone components and thus fail to attract the opposite sex or elicit a mass attack (Miller & Borden, 2000; Pureswaran & Borden, 2005), or it may effectively attract insect parasitoids or predators that prey on the insect herbivore.”
Pine monoterpenes and pine bark beetles: a marriage of convenience for defense and chemical communication (2006, background): “…for the pheromone of D. brevicomis (Wood 1972; Bedard et al. 1980), which colonizes P. ponderosa and P. coulteri, and for the pheromone of D. ponderosae (Billings et al. 1976; Miller and Borden 2000; Miller and Lindgren 2000; Pureswaran and Borden 2005), which can colonize all of the above hosts.”
A review of semiochemicals associated with bark beetle (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) pests of coniferous trees: A focus on beetle interactions with other pests and their associates (2013, background): “For example, the Douglas-fir beetle, D. pseudotsugae Hopkins is attracted to synthetic blends of Douglas-fir foliage and tree trunk monoterpenes, although D. ponderosae Hopkins is not (Pureswaran and Borden, 2005).”
