Asian Gypsy Moth Revisited [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Limited Dispersal and Heterogeneous Predation Risk Synergistically Enhance Persistence of Rare Prey [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
White-footed mice prey on gypsy moth pupae while foraging for other, more abundant food. Mice appear capable of locally extirpating moths since mice exert high predation pressure on sparse pupae and are numerically decoupled from moth populations ...

Potential of VIIRS Time Series Data for Aiding the USDA Forest Service Early Warning System for Forest Health Threats: A Gypsy Moth Defoliation Case Study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
This report details one of three experiments performed during FY 2007 for the NASA RPC (Rapid Prototyping Capability) at Stennis Space Center. This RPC experiment assesses the potential of VIIRS (Visible/Infrared Imager/Radiometer Suite) and MODIS ...

Moth-inspired navigation algorithm in a turbulent odor plume from a pulsating source

open access: yes, 2018
Some female moths attract male moths by emitting series of pulses of pheromone filaments propagating downwind. The turbulent nature of the wind creates a complex flow environment, and causes the filaments to propagate in the form of patches with varying ...

An Array of Spatulate Sensilla on Antennae of Male \u3ci\u3eBrachymeria Lasus\u3c/i\u3e (Hymenoptera: Chalcididae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
An array of spatulate sensilla on the ventral flagellar surface of each antenna of male Brachymeria lasus occurs only on segments IV-VII and is absent on female antennae. Most such sensilla are on segment VI.

Foliage maturity of Quercus ilex affects the larval development of a Croatian coastal population of Lymantria dispar (Lepidoptera: Erebidae)

open access: yesOpen Life Sciences, 2017
Gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar) is one of the most important forest pests in the world. Numerous previous studies focused only on different host tree species, but small number of them on foliage age.

Computer analysis and mapping of gypsy moth levels in Pennsylvania using LANDSAT-1 digital data [PDF]

open access: yes
The effectiveness of using LANDSAT-1 multispectral digital data and imagery, supplemented by ground truth and aerial photography, was investigated as a new method of surveying gypsy moth (Porthetria dispar (L.)) (Lepidoptera; Lymantriidae) defoliation ...
