This post Emerald Ash Borer: Study Offers Mixed Signals on Drivers of Effective Biological Control appeared first on Entomology Today - Brought to you by the Entomological Society of America.
As researchers refine strategies to manage the impact of emerald ash borer in North American forests, a new study examines how tree diversity and density of ash trees influence the performance of predators and parasitoids of the invasive beetle. One parasitoid wasp thrived in dense ash stands, while another preferred areas of lower ash density. The findings, though mixed, nonetheless inform fine-tuning biocontrol strategies for the forest pest. [Read more]
