Dispersal and Survival of Invasive Defoliating Moths
Is there a correlation of high human-use areas in a park on the dispersal of Ldd during an outbreak? Is there any potential effectiveness of egg mass removals from areas of trees protected from most extreme winter cold? What are infectious factors mitigating overwintering survival of Ldd egg masses? Is there oviposition preference of the female spongy moth, in regards to tree species, forest composition, and height on trees?
