Abstract

The invasion of mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopk.) into Alberta has been an ongoing concern for forest management. The beetle’s recent appearance and spread in Jasper National Park now poses ecological and economic threats to forestry in regions to the east. By applying recent advances in genetic typing and analysis, we show that the beetle population in Jasper is comprised of mixed individuals combining genetic signatures of both northern and southern beetles. Coupled with current monitoring methods, genetic markers can be used to identify the origin of novel populations, facilitate precise monitoring of beetle expansion and potentially inform targeted management strategies.

贾斯珀公园的山松甲虫种群来自哪里?用基因追踪甲虫

山松甲虫(Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopk.)入侵艾伯塔省一直是森林管理关注的问题。这种甲虫最近在贾斯珀国家公园的出现和蔓延，现在对东部地区的林业构成了生态和经济威胁。通过应用遗传分型和分析的最新进展，我们发现Jasper的甲虫种群是由混合个体组成的，结合了北方和南方甲虫的遗传特征。结合现有的监测方法，遗传标记可用于识别新种群的起源，促进对甲虫扩张的精确监测，并可能为有针对性的管理策略提供信息。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
