We conducted four behavioral choice tests in stands of mature lodgepole pine in British Columbia, from 1988 to 1991, to determine the dose-dependent responses of Orthotortzicw 1atid;ns (1,eConte) and Ips pini (Say) to their respective pheromones. Dose-dependent responses were exhibited by I. pini to (5)-ipsdienol and lanierone, with trap catches directly proportional to pheromone release rates....
