Other claims from this paper (5)
- Association Attack by the mountain pine cone beetle showed a positive relationship with clone and cone color of western white pine.
- Observation Cone beetles preferred dark colored cones of western white pine.
- Observation Cone color did not affect oviposition, brood development or brood mortality of the cone beetle in laboratory dissections.
- Observation Olfactory stimuli are involved in the attack sequence of the cone beetle.
- Mechanism Visual cues relating to cone color may be involved in the initial long range host orientation of attacking beetles.
