Tag, You’re It! Using Harmonic Radar to Track the Flight of BeetlesReading
The Asian long-horned beetle is an insect pest that was discovered in New York in 1996 and Chicago in 1998. It arrived in the United States on wood packing material that was being used to import goods from Asia. Unfortunately, thousands of trees had to be removed from New York and Chicago to destroy the Asian long-horned beetle. To be successful in removing the trees to destroy the beetles, forest managers must know about how far the insect moves every day. The scientist in this study wanted to Topics: Active Forest Management, Insects, Asian Long-horned Beetle, Dispersal, Harmonic Radar, Invasive Species, Native Habitat.
