Branch Girdling and Oviposition Biology of Oncideres pustulatus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) on Acacia farnesiana By Marlin E. Rice
Annals of the Entomological Society of America 82(2): 181-186, 1989
ABSTRACT: Female Oncideres pustulatus LeConte girdle Acacia farnesiana (L.) Willd. branches to provide a suitable host for their progeny. After girdling a branch, eggs are laid in the girdled section where the hatching larvae feed beneath the bark. Girdled branches were 13-55 mm in diameter and up to 4.01 m in length. Females contained as many as 63 mature eggs, but oviposition averaged 312 eggs per branch; a maximum of 2,898 eggs was laid on a single branch. A multiple regression analysis indicated that branch volume, number variation in egg numbers per branch (r2, 0.806). Larvae consumed an average of 9.3 cm of wood from the girdled branches, but high oviposition densities within a branch forces larvae to compete for the limited resource. When one female begins girdling a branch, other females oviposit on the branch without assisting in the girdling. Potential reproductive strategies by girdling and nongirdling females are discussed.

Winter mortality of Oncideres pustulatus LeConte (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) larvae induced by freezing temperatures By Marlin E. Rice
Journal of the Kansas Entomological Society 59(3): 423-427, 1986
ABSTRACT: Large numbers of Oncideres pustulatus larvae were killed by record-breaking freezing temperatures in Texas during December 1983 and January 1984. Larvae were collected from three widely separated areas in southern Texas (Upper Gulf Coast, Coastal Bend, and Lower Rio Grande Valley) and examined for mortality. Mean percent mortality was 96.53, 94.97, and 33.45 respectively. Mortality in the Lower Rio Grande Valley was significantly different from the two more northerly areas. Weather records obtained from each area were used to relate the effects of freezing temperatures to larval mortality.

Branch Girdling by Oncideres cingulata (Coleoptera; Cerambycidae) and Relative Host Quality of Persimmon, Hickory, and Elm By Marlin E. Rice
Annals of the Entomological Society of America 88(4): 451-455, 1995
ABSTRACT: Female Oncideres cingulata (Say) girdle living branches of deciduous trees with their mandibles and lay eggs in the freshly killed host. Girdled branches of American elm, Ulmus americana; bitternut hickory, Carya cordiformis; persimmon, Diospyros virginiana; and shagbark hickory, Carya ovata, were collected in Missouri and examined. Branches from persimmon and elm were divided into 2 categories: (1) persimmon and virgin persimmon (branches from trees that had not been previously girdled); and (2) elm and elm stub (branches that had the terminal section girdled during the previous year).
