Lure Effectiveness for Attracting Wood Boring Insects in Different Forest Types Janet L. Frederick, Andrew J. Storer
View Research Poster (ppt) from the Entomological Society of America National Conference (Dec 2005)
Abstract:
A new lure has recently been developed to attract long-horned
beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae).Several experiments were conducted
to determine the effectiveness of this new lure compared with some
commonly used lures, such as those releasing high doses of ethanol and
alpha-pinene. These experiments were
conducted in two forest types to determine the new lures’
attractiveness to bark and wood-inhabiting insects in deciduous and
coniferous forests. Statistically
significant results were obtained for long-horned beetles, bark
beetles, cylindrical bark beetles and checkered beetles.
