DEF

Coléoptère dont certaines espèces causent des dommages aux semences, aux jeunes plants de conifères ainsi qu'aux peuplements régénérés et aux plantations d'arbres de Noël.

OBS

Notre recherche ne nous a pas permis de retracer un découpage notionnel satisfaisant pour traduire «terminal weevil». On parlera donc tout simplement du charançon en mentionnant au besoin le spécifique (pin blanc, mélèze, sapin, etc.) que cette notion recouvre. Nous pourrions toutefois suggérer «charançon du conifère» puisque dans ce cas précis, ce type d'insecte s'attaque aux pins, épinettes et autres conifères.

Record 5 1993-09-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Insects, Centipedes, Spiders, and Scorpions
OBS

According to Don Bright, entomologist with Agriculture Canada, the spruce weevil common in British Columbia is likely the same species as the white pine weevil(Pissodes strobi) common in Eastern Canada. Since the common French equivalent for weevil is "charançon", we propose "charançon de l'épinette" for "spruce weevil".

OBS

weevil: any of a superfamily (Curculionoidea) of beetles which have the head prolonged into a more or less distinct snout and which include many that are injurious esp. as larvae to nuts, fruit, and grain or to living plants ....

CONT

... Species at their climatological limits would be the most susceptible to changes in stresses. One stressor that was studied was the spruce weevil. It was found that with an increase in average mean temperature of 2.2°C, the hazard rating for this pest would increase over most of British Columbia.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Insectes, mille-pattes, araignées et scorpions
OBS

charançon : nom commun à divers coléoptères (calandre, balanin, rynchite, etc.) dont les larves rongent les grains, les fruits, les écorces, etc., à l'aide d'une sorte de trompe. (Les charançons forment l'immense famille des curculionidés, divisée en une quinzaine de sous-familles.)
