e2“We assessed the toxicity of the ten most abundant monoterpenes of lodgepole pine ( Pinus contorta ), a major host in the current MPB epidemic, against adult MPB from two locations in British Columbia, Canada”
e5“MPB body weight had a significant positive effect on the ability to survive most monoterpene volatiles, while sex did not have a significant effect with most monoterpenes”

- Intervention effect The (−)-limonene monoterpene was the most toxic to adult mountain pine beetle, with LC50 32 μL/L.
- Intervention effect (−)-α-pinene was among the least toxic monoterpenes to adult mountain pine beetle, with LC50 290 μL/L.
- Intervention effect Terpinolene was among the least toxic monoterpenes to adult mountain pine beetle, with LC50 above 500 μL/L.
- Association Beetle sex did not have a significant effect on the ability to survive most monoterpene volatiles.
