Management of invasive Allee species [PDF]
, 2017 In this study, we use a discrete, two-patch population model of an Allee species to examine different methods in managing invasions. We first analytically examine the model to show the presence of the strong Allee effect, and then we numerically explore ...

The potential of gypsy moth as a pest of fruit and nut crops
California Agriculture, 1987 The gypsy moth is a well-known pest of deciduous forests and landscape trees in northeastern United States. Most of the studies and available information on the feeding habits of larvae are therefore based on the flora of that region.

Asian Gypsy Moth Revisited [PDF]
, 2012 Asian gypsy moths are closely related to the “normal” European gypsy moth but with a broader host range and much more mobile females. The two “strains” look so much alike that the only way to conclusively distinguish them is to analyze DNA.
