Bionomics of the four‐eyed spruce bark beetle, Polygraphus rufipennis(Kirby) (Col., Scolytidae) in Newfoundland I. Emergence and flight patterns
Abstract: Emergence patterns and sex ratios of P. rufipennis infesting black spruce were investigated using on‐tree emergence traps. Totals of 242 and 255 beetles (5.0 and 4.0 per 100 cm 2 ) emerged in the traps in 1983 and 1984, respectively. Emergence began on 23 May 1983, and continued for c . 11...
