Excerpt from Outbreaks of the Western Spruce Budworm in the American Northern Rocky Mountain Area From 1922 Through 1971 Research on the western spruce budworm in recent years has been concerned chiefly with its population dynamics, behavior, genetic characteristics, and chemical control. Few investigations have been directed specifically to its relationship with its host tree species or to the patterns of its outbreaks. Such studies must ultimately be made. Fortunately, much basic information useful for these studies exists in numerous reports that document details of the chronology, geographic distribution, and general severity of many of the budworm outbreaks in the two Forest Service Regions. The general purpose here is to review this information (mostly unpublished) as a background for continuing biological and ecological studies of this important forest insect pest and as an appropriate reference for investigations into its epidemiology. Specifically, our intent here is to (1) consolidate, summarize, and present information about the location, host types, duration, effects, and measures for control applied in past outbreaks; (2) discuss factors thrt appear to relate to the location, duration, and probable effect of budworm outbreaks in the the Regions; and (3) identify problems for further study to more accurately assess the impact possibilities of outbreaks of the budworm in host forests managed for specific uses.
