1 year life cycle
Late Summer: Adults leave dead trees
-Seek out new trees-Beetles mate -Form a tunnel
under the bark-Produce around 75 eggs
Winter: Larvae stay in the tree
Spring: Larvae feed on tree
#1 Life Cycle of the Pine Beetle
![Page 3: By: Sammie Keitlen and Brandon Johnson. 1 year life cycle Late Summer: Adults leave dead trees -Seek out new trees -Beetles mate -Form a tunnel under.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649f155503460f94c29eed/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Seed production begins at 5- 10 years
Cones remain on trees for 10-20 years
Older trees are less resistant to disease
Average age of Colorado Pines are 80- 200 years old

Chemicals Fire Temperatures
-extreme heat under bark- 5 days of -30 degrees
Precipitation-wet summers

The Niche of Lodgepole Pine Trees

Infect with Blue-stain fungi
Kill the treeTree produce “pitch
outs”- attempt to drown/ flush the beetle out
Not necessarily harmful effect:- change diversity, age, and structure of forest
Epidemic Population growth- disastrous effect
The Effects that Pine Beetles have on Lodgepole Trees
![Page 12: By: Sammie Keitlen and Brandon Johnson. 1 year life cycle Late Summer: Adults leave dead trees -Seek out new trees -Beetles mate -Form a tunnel under.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649f155503460f94c29eed/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Pine beetles leave large holes in bark of a tree
Patches of missing barkTen months after the infestation, the needles of infested pines will turn reddish-brown.
# 7 Signs and Symptoms of Effected Trees
![Page 13: By: Sammie Keitlen and Brandon Johnson. 1 year life cycle Late Summer: Adults leave dead trees -Seek out new trees -Beetles mate -Form a tunnel under.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649f155503460f94c29eed/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The past few decades have had
Warmer Temperatures
Low amount of rainfall
This creates a higher death rate for the trees
Pine Beetle populations grew because of high temperatures and low rainfall
#8 Colorado Forest Management
![Page 14: By: Sammie Keitlen and Brandon Johnson. 1 year life cycle Late Summer: Adults leave dead trees -Seek out new trees -Beetles mate -Form a tunnel under.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649f155503460f94c29eed/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Colorado has synthesized the idea of having district managers for the forest locations in their county.
President Theodore Roosevelt's decision to set aside vast tracts of western highland forests was in response to widespread exploitation by logging operations that began to sweep across the West in the late 1870s
#9 Management of Colorado’s Forests
![Page 15: By: Sammie Keitlen and Brandon Johnson. 1 year life cycle Late Summer: Adults leave dead trees -Seek out new trees -Beetles mate -Form a tunnel under.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649f155503460f94c29eed/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The temperature must be consistently be below -35 Celsius or -40 Celsius for several straight days to kill off large populations of the Mountain Pine Beetle.
Climate is warming- Pine Beetle Population will consistently grow
You can control some populations by burning, burying, chipping or removing infested logs
# 10 Climate and Management Practice effect on Beetle Populations
![Page 16: By: Sammie Keitlen and Brandon Johnson. 1 year life cycle Late Summer: Adults leave dead trees -Seek out new trees -Beetles mate -Form a tunnel under.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649f155503460f94c29eed/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
If all the trees are dead from MPB, then tourism will be affectedSkiing, camping, hiking,
biking, etc.
There will be a reduced amount of shelter for wildlife if trees are continually dyingAffecting other organisms Lowering oxygen rates
