Simple Summary

Monochamus saltuarius is a vector of pine wood nematode (PWN) in Korea and eastern China. The diel rhythmicity of M. saltuarius in response to an aggregation pheromone and attractants (PA) was studied with the aid of a spray device controlled with an electronic timer. Our study revealed that the flight activity of M. saltuarius in response to PA was diurnal. The results improve the understanding of the behavioral biology of M. saltuarius, allowing the development of pest management strategies to prevent the spread of PWN and control its vector.

Abstract

The pine wood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, causes lethal pine wilt disease (PWD) in Asia and Europe and has become a serious threat to global pine forest ecosystems. In Korea, Monochamus saltuarius transmits PWN not only to Pinus densiflora, but also to Pinus koraiensis, which is widely distributed across eastern Asia. The diel rhythmicity of M. saltuarius in response to its aggregation pheromone was studied with the aim of providing reliable data for the prevention of PWD and control of Monochamus spp. Using a spray dispenser controlled with an electronic timer, M. saltuarius pheromone and attractants (PA) were sprayed to determine the diel rhythm of the response to PA. The spraying period was divided into four time periods: 05:00–11:00 (time period A), 11:00–17:00 (time period B), 17:00–23:00 (time period C), and 23:00–05:00 (time period D). The largest number of M. saltuarius was caught in time period B, followed by A, C, and D. It could be concluded that the flight activity of M. saltuarius in response to PA was diurnal. The results of this study improve the understanding of the behavioral biology of M. saltuarius, allowing for the development of pest management strategies to prevent the spread of PWN and control its vector.

1. Introduction

The pine wood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner and Buhrer) Nicke, is a plant parasitic nematode that causes lethal pine wilt disease (PWD) in Asia and Europe. This epidemic disease has become a serious threat to global pine forest ecosystems [1]. Important vectors of PWN including various species of Monochamus beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) have been identified [2,3,4,5]. In Korea, two beetles, Monochamus alternatus and M. saltuarius, have been identified as vectors of PWN. Among them, M. saltuarius transmits PWN not only to Pinus densiflora, but also to Korean pine, P. koraiensis [6]. P. koraiensis is widely distributed across eastern Asia including Korea, China, Japan, and Siberia [7]. In 2017, thousands of Korean pines that had died due to PWD were reported in northeastern China, and it was revealed that PWD was caused by PWN, which was vectored by M. saltuarius in northeast China [8]. M. saltuarius emerged from P. tabuliformis carried pine wood nematode and its carrier rate reached 58.3%, and the average carrying capacity of M. saltuarius of pine wood nematodes was 642.4 [9].
M. saltuarius is distributed across eastern Asia and Europe [10]. Biological characteristics such as reproductive traits, larval diapause time, sex ratio, and oviposition and mating behavior of M. saltuarius are known to be very similar to those of M. alternatus [11,12,13], though the body size of M. saltuarius is somewhat smaller than that of M. alternatus [10]. M. saltuarius is generally distributed in cold regions, while M. alternatus is distributed in warmer climate regions. The habitats of M. saltuarius and M. alternatus overlap in some regions in Korea [14].
The behavioral patterns of M. alternatus such as movement, mating, and reproductive behaviors are well studied in Korea and Japan [15,16,17,18,19]. Since M. saltuarius is a known vector of PWN in Korea, the life cycle and mating behavior have been studied [12,13]; recently, dispersal capacity using flight mills has also been studied [20].
Since monochamol, 1-(2-undecyloxy)-ethanol, was first reported as an aggregation pheromone of Monochamus galloprovincialis, which is a vector of PWN in Europe [5], monochamol has been identified as a common component of the aggregation pheromone of several Monochamus species including M. saltuarius [21,22,23,24]. Many studies have focused on the attractiveness of aggregation pheromones and synergists for population monitoring or large-scale trapping of Monochamus spp. [25,26,27,28,29]. Diel rhythm in response to monochamol and attractants in the field by M. scutellatus scutellatus and M. notatus, a close congener, has been reported [30]. Understanding the behavioral biology of Monochamus spp. can aid in the development of pest management strategies to prevent the spread of PWN and control its vector. We studied the diel rhythmicity of M. saltuarius in response to its aggregation pheromone with the aim of providing reliable data to aid in developing pest management strategies for the prevention of PWD and control of Monochamus saltuarius.

2. Materials and Methods

2.1. Study Site and Period

The field experiments to assess the effects of emission intervals were conducted in pine tree forest stands located in Seongpyeong (36°39′27″ N, 128°24′01″ E), Yecheon, Gyeongsangbuk-do, and those to assess the diel rhythm of the response to its aggregation pheromone and attractants (PA) were conducted in Susim (36°39′23″ N, 128°24′00″ E), Yecheon, Gyeongsangbuk-do. The forest stands were dominated by mature P. densiflora and P. koraiensis, with a ratio of P. densiflora to P. koraiensis of approximately 7:3. The experiments were performed from 21 April to 5 June, 2017. Peak adult emergence occurred from 4 May to 19 May, 2017 (Figure S1).

2.2. Periodicity of the Response of M. saltuarius to Pheromone

2.2.1. Pheromone Source

We used a spray dispenser affixed to a black-colored cross-vane trap (Alpha Scents, Portland, OR, USA). Recently, it has been reported that the trapping efficacy can be improved using trap colors different to black [31,32]. We used a black cross-vane trap as Park et al. [33] reported the high efficacy of black in attracting M. saltuarius.
The spray dispenser consisted of a canister and a spray holder. The canister contained M. saltuarius PA, which was a blend of ethanol, monochamol, α-pinene, and ipsenol in a ratio of 1000:1:1:1.6. Monochamol was synthesized following a previous report [34]. The ethanol and α-pinene were purchased from Alfa Aesar (Heysham, UK), and the ipsenol was obtained from Bedoukian Research Inc. (Danbury, CT, USA). These components (PA, 90 g) were sealed in a canister (269 mL, Figure 1A) with a propellant (butane:propane = 7:3). The canister was fixed in a spray holder (Figure 1B; Glade, Johnson Korea Inc., Seoul, Korea), which controlled the spray interval. An electronic, controlled timer (Figure 1C; SM Biovision, Jinju, Korea) was installed in the spray holder to control the spray interval. To evaluate the releasing amount of PA per emission, we collected the aerosol, which was emitted 10 times from the canister in an empty glass, and weighed. This was performed six times. The devices released 30.62 ± 0.45 mg of PA per emission. To evaluate the ratio of PA in each emission, the spray solution emitted from the canister was analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). GC-MS analysis was performed on a 7890A GC instrument coupled with a 5975C mass spectrometer (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA) equipped with an HP-Innowax column (30 m × 0.25 mm i.d., 0.25 μm film thickness; J&W Scientific, Folsom, CA, USA). The oven temperature program was set to 40 °C for 1 min, a ramp up at 6 °C/min increase until 250 °C, and a hold at 250 °C for 4 min. The ratio of ethanol:monochamol:α-pinene:ipsenol was 1000:1.09 ± 0.15:1.51 ± 0.27:1.65 ± 0.25, which was similar to 1000:1:1:1.6.

2.2.2. Effect of PA Concentration on Attraction (Emission Interval 8, 15, 30 min)

To evaluate the effect of the emission interval (a proxy for the concentration of PA), the emission interval was set at 8, 15, or 30 min each day, which was equivalent to 7.5 times (ca. 230 mg of PA/h), 4 times (ca. 31 mg of PA/h), or twice (ca. 61 mg of PA/h) per hour. The experiment used a randomized complete block (RCB) design with three treatments and five replicates. The spray devices were attached to cross-vane traps (AlphaScents, Portland, OR, USA) and hung on pine trees at a height of 1.0 m (bottom of trap to ground). Traps were separated by a distance of 10–15 m, and each block was at least 50 m apart. Beetles were collected from the traps every week.

2.2.3. The Diel Rhythm of Responses to Aggregation PA

To determine the diel rhythm of responses to PA, the PA spray time was divided into 05:00–11:00 (time period A), 11:00–17:00 (time period B), 17:00–23:00 (time period C), and 23:00–05:00 (time period D). As a control, a 24-h spray time was set (24 h). The same experimental design as above was used. The emission interval was set at 15 min. Beetles were collected from the traps and sexed according to the morphological characteristics.

2.3. Statistical Analysis

The number of beetles caught and the proportion of beetles captured in each time period were tested using linear mixed models (LMMs). The time zone was considered as a fixed effect, whereas block was considered as a random effect. The means were compared and evaluated by the Tukey–Kramer honestly significant difference (HSD) test at the 0.05 level. Thus, we performed LMMs using the ‘lmer’ and ‘glmer’ function in the ‘lme4’ package and ‘Anova’ function in the ‘car’ package. The least square mean was used for multiple comparisons using the ‘glht’ function in the ‘multcomp’ package. All statistical analyses were performed with R v.3.5.1 [35]. The mean (+standard error [SE]) values of untransformed data are reported.

3. Results

3.1. Effect of PA Concentration on Attraction

By altering the emission interval, we altered the concentration of PA emitted at the test sites. Only M. saltuarius was caught. The number of caught beetles tended to decrease as the emission interval increased. However, there was no significant difference (spray interval: F = 0.546, df = 2, p = 0.600) (Figure 2).

3.2. The Diel Rhythm of Response to Aggregation PA

Beetles were caught throughout the day (Figure 3). However, there were differences among the time periods (χ2 = 26.63, df = 4, p < 0.001) (Figure 3A). The number of beetles caught in time period B (1100–1700) was almost the same as that caught during the 24-h spray. Over 90% were caught in time periods A, B, and C, and less than 10% were caught in time period D (23:00–05:00) (Figure 3B). A significantly greater percentage of beetles were caught in time period B than in time periods C and D (χ2 = 26.499, df = 3, p < 0.001). When analyzed separately, there were no differences in the numbers of male and female beetles caught in each time period (time period A (05:00–11:00): χ2 = 2.45, p = 0.117, time period B (11:00–17:00): χ2 = 2.70, p = 0.101, time period C (17:00–23:00): χ2 = 0.42, p = 0.515, and time period D (23:00–05:00): χ2 = 2.04, p = 0.153) (Figure 4).

4. Discussion

Aerosol dispensers such as the Metered Semiochemical Timed Release System (MSTRSTM) [36,37] and Isomate® CM MIST (MIST) Aerosol dispenser [38] have been used to study mating disruption or monitoring lepidopteran pests [39,40]. The merits of aerosol dispensers are that the emission ratio is conserved and the emission amount is easily changed by setting the emission interval. The spraying device used in this study also conserved the emission ratio of PA, and the emission amount was easily changed. This is the first example of using an aerosol dispenser to monitor the diel rhythm of coleopteran pests.
A previous study aimed to assess diel flight activity patterns of longhorn beetles either by exploiting timer traps, an instrument that rotates trap jars at programmable intervals [41,42], or manually removing trapped beetles from baited traps at certain time intervals [30]. Both approaches have some cons: timer traps are relatively costly, while manually removing the trapped individuals is labor-intensive. In our study, a spray dispenser equipped with an electronic, controlled timer was used. This was much cheaper than the timer trap and less labor is needed. The spay dispenser can open new scenarios in this field of research.
To test the effect of the concentration of PA on attraction, PA (monochamol, a-pinene, and ipsenol) was emitted at concentrations of 0.97, 0.52, and 0.26 mg per hour, and ethanol was emitted at 228 mg, 120 mg, and 60 mg per hour by using spraying intervals of 8, 15, and 30 min, respectively. The results showed that 0.26 mg/h of PA and 60 mg/h of ethanol were sufficient to attract beetles. Lee et al. [24] reported that the release rate of PA (monochamol, a-pinene, and ipsenol) from polyethylene sachets was 6.63 mg/h and that of ethanol was 2.2 mg/h. In our experiments and a previous report by Kim et al. [25], there was no significant difference in attraction when the sexes were analyzed separately (Figure 4). However, Lee et al. [24] reported that only pheromones and a PA mixture, with the same composition as that in this study, attracted more females than males. This difference may be due to different attractant composition ratios or different pine tree compositions in the tested forests.
Light is one of the factors that regulates flight activity [43]. Coleoptera comprise not only diurnal and nocturnal species [19,30,41,42], but also crepuscular species [44]. Therefore, to understand the diel rhythm of the response to PA, we divided the day into four time periods: time period A, 05:00–11:00 (included dawn), time period B, 11:00–17:00 (the highest temperatures of the day), time period C, 17:00–23:00 (included dusk), and time period D, 23:00–05:00 (nighttime). The results from the 8-h spray interval PA experiments conducted for six weeks showed that the response to PA peaked in time period B and declined at night (time periods C and D). This could lead to the conclusion that the flight activity of M. saltuarius in response to PA is diurnal. This is supported by a previous report that found that feeding by M. saltuarius mainly occurred from 09:00–18:00, and mating activity occurred at night [13].
The aggregation pheromone of M. saltuarius is produced throughout the day, and larger quantities are emitted during the day than at night, although the difference was not significant [33]. Considering the above results and our results, the diel activity of M. saltuarius is not associated with the production of the aggregation pheromone. M. alternatus emitted significantly more aggregation pheromone at night than during the day [33]. The diel activity of M. alternatus has been reported, and it is primarily active from 2000 to 0500. Mating, oviposition, and movement occur at night [17,19]; however, results on feeding activity are controversial. Nishimura [17] reported that feeding activity of M. alternatus mainly occurred at night from 2000–0500, while Fauziah et al. [16] reported feeding activity in the morning and afternoon hours from 08:00–18:00. Therefore, the diel activity of M. alternatus in response to PA remains to be investigated. A study in Monochamus scutellatus scutellatus, which produces the aggregation pheromone monochamol, showed that a diel rhythm was not associated with the production of the male-produced aggregation pheromone [30]. M. s. scutellatus produces its aggregation pheromone throughout the day, and responses to the aggregation pheromone mainly occurred from 06:00–14:00.
The study sites were endemic for both M. saltuarius and M. alternatus. Therefore, we expected both species to be captured. However, in our study, M. alternatus was not captured in the traps. This could be explained by the temporal difference in emergence and the capture efficiency of PA. M. saltuarius emerges from early May to early June [12], while M. alternatus emerges from late May to late June [45]. The capture efficiency of PA for M. alternatus was lower than that for M. saltuarius [24,46].

5. Conclusions

Our study revealed that the flight activity of M. saltuarius in response to aggregation PA was diurnal. These results improve the understanding of the behavioral biology of M. saltuarius, allowing the development of pest management strategies to prevent the spread of PWN and control its vector.
