Allothrombium mitchelli (Acari: Trombidiidae) in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park: incidence, seasonality, and predation on beech scale (Homoptera: Eriococcidae).

2001-11-01

Abstract excerpt

American beech gaps in the southern Appalachian mountains are currently threatened by an insect-mediated disease complex known as beech bark disease, Cryptococcus fagisuga Lindinger, or beech scale, a major component of beech bark disease, wounds trees through feeding on vascular tissue through the outer cambium. This feeding method leaves numerous wounds and provides entryways for infection by fungal pathogens. A...
