The Relationship

The relationship between the fate of cocoons of the larch sawfly, Pristiphora erichsonii (Htg.), and distance from small-mammal tunnels was studied during 1958 in the Whiteshell Forest Reserve of eastern Manitoba. The objects were to determine the distance that small mammals can detect cocoons and to observe possible effects of the interactions of small-mammal predation and other natural mortality factors of the insect. Additional analyses of the data provided information on the behaviour of the predators and the ecology of the prey insect.

Adequate Method

Current investigations at the Forest Biology Laboratory, Winnipeg, are being directed towards the formulation of life tables for the larch sawfly, Pristiphora erichsonii (Htg.) (Lejeune, 1955). Because small mammal predation is a major factor in reducing cocoon populations of the sawfly (Buckner, 1953), an adequate method of assessing this source of mortality is desirable

The importance of small mammals as natural control factors for forest insect pests has been indicated by several investigators, particularly by Hewitt (8) and Graham (5) with respect to the larch sawfly, Pristiphora erichsoni Htg. and by Sim (9) with respect to the Japanese beetle, Popillia japonica Newm.

AbstractStudies were conducted on the reactions of small mammals to the vital dyes Rhodamine B and Nile Blue. The dyes are currently in use as biological tracers for the larch sawfly. Two species of voles and two of four individual shrews reacted indiscriminately to dyed and undyed material: the reactions of the two remaining shrews varied. It was concluded that the behavior of small mammals would not affect seriously the results of field experiments using insects labeled with these dyes.
