Voegtlin FOREJT QE1EARCH SCHOOL OF FORESTRY OREGON STATE UNWERSITY Since 1941, the Forest Research Laboratory--part of the School of Forestry at Oregon State University in Corvallis-has been studying forests and why they are like they are. A staff or more than 50 scientists conducts research to provide information for wise public and private decisions on managing and using Oregon's forest resources and operating its wood-using industries. Because of this research, Oregon's forests now yield more in the way of wood products, water, forage, wildlife, and recreation. Wood products are harvested, processed, and used more efficiently. Employment, productivity, and profitability in industries dependent on forests also have been strengthened. And this research has helped Oregon to maintain a quality environment for its people. Much research is done in the Laborátoryff's facilities on the campus. But field experiments in forest genetics, younggrowth management, forest hydrology, harvesting methods, and reforestation are conducted on 12,000 acres of School forests adjacent to the campus and on lands of public and private cooperating Northwest. agencies throughout the Pacific With thes publications, the Forest ReSeath Laboratory supplies the results of its research to forest land. owners and managers, to manufacturers and users of forest products, to leaders of government and industry, and to the general public.

Au Andrews Experimental Forest, W astern Cascades, Oregon. Annotated Checklist of Fleas, Research Note PNW-378). The present paper is the second in this group. INTRODUCTION Research on arthropods associated with the crowns of large trees has been limited The because of the difficulty of access. variety of methods that has been used to collect canopy arthropods includes insecticidal treatment by airplane (Martin 1966, Gagne 1979, Wolda 1979), hoisting traps lines over on ropes placed shooting by branches with a bow and arrow (Sweney and Jones 1975), beating beech stems with clubs (Nielsen branches 1975a,b), and beating throughout a tree to drop the arthropods onto large 1960). Lepointe sheets (Horegott large (1956) covered branches with cylindrical bags, then severed them and fumigated the contents to knock down the insects. Dahlsten (1979) severed and carefully lowered one-third of the branches of white fir trees, then removed the insects by beating the branches over large collecting sheets. Engel (1941) cut down entire pines onto large sheets and beat the branches to obtain the arthropods. Direct access to the canopy has been made by scaffoldings (Morris 1955), by a small elevator attached to a large Sequoiadendron gigantea (Stecker 1973), more recently, an easy, and by nondestructive method using modified rock1972, climbing techniques (Denison et al. Perry 1980). Investigations into the structure of the canopy of old growth Pseudotsuga rnenziesii (Mirb.) Franco and the species, distribution and biomass of macro-and microepiphytes within the canopy were begun in the early 1970's in the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest on the west slope of the Cascade Mountains in Oregon (Denison et al. 1972, Pike et al. studies 1972, Pike et al. 1975). In 1975, were begun in the same area to examine nutrient movement within the canopy, which was of special interest due to the abundance Lobaria oregana (Tuck.) Mull. of Arg., a nitrogen-fixing lichen. Included in these studies was a survey of the arthropods associated with the canopy. Other surveys of arthropods associated with Douglas-fir or the Douglas-fir forest area have been made (Bedard 1938, Deyrup 1975, Deyrup 1981, Mispagel and Rose 1978) and are continuing to be made in the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest. But these surveys are confined to the soil, aquatic, and shrub strata, or to trees whose canopy can be reached without the major climbing technology required for Douglas-fir. An old growth Douglas-fir canopy is extenIt might best be viewed as a truncated approximately 10 m in diameter at its base, starting as low as 20 m from the ground and reaching nearly 80 m (Franklin et al. 1981). Examination of epiphyte distribution has shown that the canopy can be divided into several habitats, each characterized by certain epiphytic species (Pike et al. 1975). A similiar set of distinctive arthropod habitats occurs in the canopy: the trunk with its deeply fissured bark and scattered epiphytes, the large moss bolsters found on some of the lower branches, the large clumps of epiphytes on branches throughout the tree, the twig and needle surfaces, and the accumulated debris (lodged litter) often found on the upper surface of the large branch systems. The goal of this project was to collect the arthropod taxa associated with these habitats. sive. cone, STUDY AREA sites are located in the H. J.

Two of the trees, El Capitan and Neptune, were located in Watershed 2 (T15S R5E Sec 31 SE1/4) near Lookout Creek, elevation 450 m. The third, Fangorn, was located about 0.5 km south of Lookout Creek along the Mack Creek road (T15S R5E Sec 28 SE1/4), elevation 625 The trees were approximately 450 years m. old, 1.5 m diameter at breast height, and 75-78 m tall.

CANOPY ACCESS With the aid of stirrups and body harness attached to jumars clipped on a top-anchored rope and a safety belay, climbers made rapid, canopy with easy, and repeated access to the minimum habitat disruption (Denison 1973). Safety precautions limited the movement of they the climbers within the canopy, as remained attached to the ropes at all times. Lateral access was essentially limited to 3 m or less in any direction from the trunk. SAMPLING TECHNIQUES The techniques used were standard methods adapted for use in the canopy.

SOLID BARS REPRESENT DATA SETS THAT CAN BE DIRECTLY CORRELATED TO A SPECIFIC HABITAT QUANTITY (BY WEIGFIT). 4 Sticky screens The use of sticKy material is a familiar and the but effective way to collect insects, data are difficult to relate quantitatively to the habitat. Damage to the insects captured on sticky materials is also a problem, hut with care it can be minimized for many orders. The structure of the large trees is such that sticky screens could not be pulled up and down on ropes running along the trunk. Rather, halyards were attached at three levels within the canopy and operated from points at some distance from the base of the tree. The location of each halyard was determined by available access points. Onefourth-inch (0.64 cm) mesh hardware cloth was cut to 20 x 25 cm pieces anJ 20 x 20 cm of each piece was covered with Stickem Special®. Four screens were attached to each halyard (Fig. 2), the attachment points such that the bottom screen on each halyard was completely outside the canopy, the third at the outer edge, the second in the middle, and the first near the trunk. Because of the slope of the rope halyards, the bottom screen of the upper halyard was slightly below the top screen of the middle halyard. However, specimens taken on this screen were still considered to be from the upper canopy. Samples were initially taken on halyards attached to El Capitan, but later the halyards were moved to Fangorn. On both trees sticky screens were changed every 2 weeks. Insects were removed by soaking the screens in hot kerosene until the specimens dropped off. The hot kerosene and insects were then filtered through a Buchner funnel and the filter paper and specimens allowed to air dry. For sorting, specimens were rehydrated in 70% alcohol. By this method they received little mechanical damage during removal. Trunk sticky screens Screens of the same size and structure as those on halyards were held in place a small distance away from the trunk (Fig. 3). Four screens, located on Fangorn (Fig. 2), were changed every 2 weeks. PULLEY mm STICKY SCREENS 6Onm PITFALL AND TRUNK STICKY SCREEN HALYARD TO GROUND /7 $' 31 mm Bark was chipped away on Fangorn to form plastic conhollows for one-liter round tainers attached to the trunk with a large flat-head nail at the same heights as the trunk sticky screens (Fig. Water and 2). ethylene glycol were placed in the containers, which were emptied every 2 weeks. Tiny holes below the rim allowed water to escape in heavy rain. 21 m Tuligren sampling II 44mm 41 mm \ DOUBLE ROPE Pitfall traps Samples of epiptiytes occurring on the large branches were taken at biweekly intervals. On each sampling date, a branch was randomly middle, chosen from each stratum (upper, FIGURE 2 SCHEMATIC OF AN OLD GROWTH DOUGLAS-FIR TREE, SHOWING THE ARRANGEMENT OF HALYARDS AND STICKY SCREENS, PITFALL TRAPS, AND TRUNK STICKY SCREENS. 5 lower), and three samples were taken on each branch. Each sample, consisting of all epiphytes on a 1 dm section of the branch, was bagged separately in a plastic bag and taken to the laboratory for extraction in Tullgren funnels (Fig. 4). Collecting bottles contained tap water. Extraction was effected in less than 1 week, most specimens being extracted in 2 to 3 days. All epiphytes were taken from Neptune. Filtration The needle and twig (branchlet) habitat has the highest surface area of all the tree components (3,000 m2/tree) (Pike et al. 1977). A sampling method called "Filtration" extended from the third quarter of 1976 to the third quarter of 1977, and a method called "Intensive Filtration' from the last quarter of 1977 through 1978 (Fig. 1). During filtration, one living and one dead branchiet wer taken from each of three RUBBER STOPPER NAIL HEAD 20 x 25 cm /4' branches every 2 weeks. During intensive filtration, three living branchiets were taken from each of three branches every 2 weeks, one branchiet near the trunk, one at the outer limit of access, and one between. Each was bagged separately. Removal of arthropods was effected in the laboratory by washing a branchlet under a high pressure jet of water. The wash was then filtered through a set of nested sieves (Fig. 5) consisting of 16-, 40-, 100-, and 200-mesh stainless steel cloth (pore size 1.13mm, 380 um, 140 um, and 74 um respectively). The contents of each sieve were washed into petri dishes for ;-)___ ; FIGURE 4 TULLGREN FUNNEL BOX WITH VENTILATION HOLES IN THE COVER AND RHEOSTATICALLY CONTROLLED LIGHTS.

Cookie cutter Samples 1 dm2 were cut from large moss bolsters with a knife, though the original intention had been to make a square punch similar to a cookie cutter for this purpose. One sample of moss and underlying soil was taken from each bolster every month for 1 year. Arthropods were extracted from these samples with Tullgren funnels. All samples were taken from Fangorn. REFERENCE SPECIMENS As new taxa were encountered, a reference bottle containing the specimen was given a four-letter and one-number code (e.g. ACAR 24 was the 24th mite taxon). Reference to a taxon was always by this code. The bottles were kept in racks in front of the sorting microscopes for easy reference. For each taxon, representative specimens from the reference collection and the biweekly samples were sent to specialists for determination (see p. 29). The reference series and entire canopy collection has been deposited in the Systematic Entomology Laboratory of Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon. DISCUSSION The sampling techniques were developed to look at the tree from the lowest branch to the top. All of the major habitats were examined with the exception of intermediate size branches that were too large to cut off and bag and which were generally beyond reach. That habitat, however, is not a large percentage of the canopy surface area (Pike al. et 1977). A sampling technique for intermediate branches could not be found that would prevent major disruption of other tree surfaces. Most of the techniques worked well throughout the year, and some arthropods were collected by every method in every sampling period. Taxonondc categories in the reference series number approximately 1,500. In spite of efforts to prevent a category from containing more than one taxon, some of the supposed monospecific categories had as many as three species. In some cases, different categories were conspecific. For many arthropod groups, taxa can be separated only by experts after special preparation, a task beyond the scope of this survey. Determination was a long, slow process and for some groups impossible. It is hoped that the group of identified taxa contains the main arthropods associated with the canopy of old growth Douglas-fir, at least in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon. As far as can be determined from the literature and from observations of stages of the life cycle in the canopy, few of the collected species spend their entire life cycle within the tree,. and most of those which do are small, e.g. Marina, Collembola, Araneae, and Psocoptera. is difficult to compare this study with the many canopy studies in the literature. Some focus on only one species or specific group of insects or arthropods, and detailed lists are not given. Three studies on canopy fauna that are similarly comprehensive are those by Horegott (1960), Martin (1966), and Wolda (1979). Horegott examined the canopy of Pinus sylvestris L. and found 256 species of arthropods. Martin looked at the insect It fauna of different-aged stands of Pinus resinosa Aiton over a 4-year period and found a composition of insects similar to that observed in the Douglas-fir canopy, but most of the quantitative data are given as percentages. The numbers of species stated, ten species of Collenibola, four of mites and two of psyllids, suggest a total number lower than that in the Douglas-fir canopy. Wolda catches made under the Panama Canal In the Zone after fogging with pyrethrum. looked at Homoptera Luehea seemanii in trees in Homoptera alone there were 332 species, which is an order of magnitude greater than the number in the Douglas-fir canopy. He found, species was however, that the number of closely correlated with the number of vines in the canopy, which suggests that not all species were directly associated with the Luehea seemanii. It appears that the Douglas-fir canopy has the greatest diversity of arthropods known of any temperate canopy system yet studied. the intenThis diversity may be a result of sive year-round sampling or of the examination of the microhabitats within the tree, or it may be that the methods sampled much of the surrounding habitat as well. The time required for examining the canopy with eight techniques limited the data that could be gathered on any one species. The following species list should, our however, enhance knowledge of faunal diversity in the canopy of old growth Douglas-fir trees, and therefore of the arthropod diversity in west-side midelevation coniferous forests of the Pacific Northwest. ARTHROPOD LIST Of the approximately 1,500 taxa collected, about 700 are represented by only 1 or 2 specimens. Some of these are identified, but the priority was to obtain names of the most abundant taxa. The following list contains more than 500 taxa, about 75 percent of all the specimens collected, determined at least to genus. the arrangement of Borror, DeLong, and Triplehorn (1976). Acari and Araneae follow the Insecta. In Genera within a family are arranged alphabetically. the Acari, families are arranged alphabetically within each suborder. The Insecta are ordered after Some names are not followed by information because the taxonomic category label was separated Other specimens were taken from multispecific from the specimen during determination. taxonomic categories, therefore no information is available. information is given on abundance, canopy location, canopy habitat, sampling technique, season of capture, and stage of maturity (refer to Key).
