		Harvard University, Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Museum of Comparative Zoology, 26 Oxford St, Cambridge, MA Our study is focused on members of the weevil subfamily Cossoninae associated with the conifer genus Araucaria whose distribution in the southern-most continents (Australia and South America) is suggestive of an ancient origin of these associations.

	Cleridae: Checkered Beetles
		Both adults and larvare are voracious predators of various lignicolous insects, particularly of bark beetles (Scolytinae) and are commonly encountered in coniferous forests where there are dead or dying trees or limbs.
		This is a slender, narrow species with very prominent rows of serial punctures and an elytral pattern of three yellowish markings; the first running obliquely from humerus to suture, the second an undulate post-medial band, and the third a pair of yellow sub-apical spots.
		The adults and larvae are predaceous on various wood-boring insects, particularly bark beetles (Scolytinae).

		Araucarius groups in Scolytinae instead of Cossoninae in the analysis on a single step only, but it is suggested that it be retained in Cossoninae until this subfamily is submitted to a similar phylogenetic study.

		In this study, we explore the relative importance of insular isolation and host plant switching in the diversification of a group of bark beetles (Curculionidae: Scolytinae) feeding and breeding in woody Euphorbia spurges.
		Reconstruction of species-level phylogenies is a powerful tool in the study of macroevolutionary patterns of diversification, where the assessment of putative sister species provides a quantitative measure of the factors associated with cladogenetic events.
		Preliminary analyses of 839 EF-Ia coding characters, from 12 crypturgine and 45 additional species of Scolytinae and Platypodine, confirmed the previously suggested monophyly of Crypturgini (Wood, 1986), and that Dolurgus, and Crypturgus plus Cisurgus, are nested sets of outgroups suitable for all further analyses of a monophyletic Aphanarthrum plus Coleobothrus.

	Impact of pine looper defoliation in Scots pine
		This thesis evaluates the significance of single-year defoliation by the pine looper moth (Bupalus piniaria L.) (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) and secondary attack by the pine shoot beetle (Tomicus piniperda L.) (Coleoptera: Scolytinae) for yield losses in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.).
		In a seven-year study, tree mortality and growth losses were quantified after a B. piniaria outbreak with a subsequent T. piniperda infestation at Hökensås in 1996.

		Parasitic females are white with a straight or slightly curved body and ovoviviparous.
		Since the coffee berry borer is the most important pest of coffee throughout the world and this parasite partially or completely sterilizes female beetles, it is worthy of further investigation as a potential biological control agent.

		My research centers around two somewhat related topics, (1) evolution and ecology of reproductive systems, and (2) biodiversity patterns, including phylogeography.
		My research organisms are bark beetles (Curculionidae, Scolytinae) and timber borers (Curculionidae, Platypodinae).
		Most of my research is conducted in Costa Rica, but I currently am involved in collaborative projects involving Central America, Macaronesia, and China.

		My dissertation research at Texas A&M is on the systematics of the bark beetle genus Xylosandrus.
		As is typical of bark beetles (Curculionidae: Scolytinae), Xyleborini beetles construct and inhabit galleries within the woody tissues of host trees.
		Xylosandrus are "ambrosia beetles", which means they feed primarily on a symbiotic ambrosia fungus which grows along the walls of their galleries.

	5.5 PLANT COMPOUNDS AS PRECURSORS OF SEMIOCHEMICALS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
		Many of the same pheromonal compounds are used by species in the same genus, such as ipsenol, ipsdienol, and cis-verbenol in the genus Ips, or exo-brevicomin, frontalin, trans-verbenol and verbenone in the genus Dendroctonus (see Borden, 1982; Birch, 1984; Byers, 1989a).
		Some compounds such as cis- and trans-verbenol may be found in Ips (Scolytinae) as well as Dendroctonus and Tomicus (Hylesininae).
		However, cis-verbenol has so far only been proven as an aggregation pheromone component for species in the subfamily Scolytinae, whereas trans-verbenol has semiochemical activity only in the subfamily Hylesininae (Fig.
