Natural disturbance in an old-growth landscape of northern Maine, USA

Problem Addressed: Forest dynamics and succession in old-growth stand in northern Maine.
Key Findings: The abundance of shade-tolerant saplings, coupled with the absence of stand-replacing disturbance, has maintained canopy dominance by shade-tolerant species.

Dendrochronological reconstruction of spruce budworm outbreaks in northern Maine, USA

Problem Addressed: Detection of major spruce budworm outbreaks in Maine
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Reconstruct the history of major spruce budworm outbreaks in northern interior Maine using host–nonhost dendrochronological analyses, contrast the outbreaks detected in this region to those of eastern Canada; and evaluate the efficacy of using radial growth patterns of small spruce trees for the purpose of detecting outbreaks.
Key Findings: Small-diameter, slow-growing red spruces clearly express the typical budworm signal once ring-width data have been properly standardized.

Effects of Photoperiod and Size on Flight Activity and oviposition in the eastern spruce budworm (Lepidoptera: Torticidae)

Problem Addressed: Dispersal of adult females of eastern spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana (Clem.))
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Determine effects of photoperiod on spruce budworm
Key Findings: The role of female activity as related to size and flight capability is therefore of potentially great significance in spruce budworm population dynamics and deserves further detailed investigation.

Distribution and presistence of fenitrothion residues in foliage, soil and water in larose forest.

Problem Addressed: Insecticide residues in Larose forest.
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Summarize an operational experiment carried out in Larose Forest to study the persistence of aerially applied fenitrothion and its metabolites (the oxon analgue and 4-nitro-cresol) in white spruce foliage, soil and water samples collected from sprayed areas.
Key Findings: Degradation and persistence of fenitrothion findings are in reasonable agreement with those for the same chemical used in N.B. forests.

A Review of Important Forest Insect and Disease Problems in the Terrace Bay District of Ontario 1950-1980

Problem Addressed: Terrace Bay District loss due to insects and diseases.
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Review signficant forest insects and diseases that have occurred in the Terrace Bay District between 1950 and 1980.
Key Findings: Information on insects and diseases that are capable of causing, or have caused, tree mortality or a reduction in growth.

A Biologically Active Analogue of the Primary Sex Pheromone Components of Spruce Budworm

Problem Addressed: Spruce Budworm
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Disruption of mating and of trap capture of spruce budworm
Key Findings: The 1, 12-pentadecadiene is an olefinic pheromone analogue for the spruce budworm that can duplicate to some extent the functioning of the primary sex-pheromone components.
