The Mountain Pine Beetle 1. What is the Mountain Pine Beetle (MPB) and what does it look like? The Mountain Pine Beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae, is a parasite afflicting pine trees in the Rocky Mountain west. Measuring between 1/8th and 1/3rd of an inch (see Figure 1), the MPB is a black bark beetle that differs from other similar species such as the Ips beetle species in that the wing covers for the MPB are smooth while the wing covers for Ips beetles have spines (Leatherman 2005). 2. Where can the MPB be found?

These laws stated that public land must be kept in perpetual trust by the federal government. The significance of this was that these acts destroyed any last hope that the Westerners had of public lands being turned over to local governments. Another example of disapproval in the Sagebrush Rebellion was in Idaho, where a business assembly fought the expansion of the Snake River Birds of Prey national Conservation Area.
