Northern Research Station scientists have been conducting research on biology and ecology of ALB since 1999. This research has been directed toward providing the biological basis for predicting potential dispersal, developmental phenology, predicting population dynamics at low population levels, and attack rates in different environments. Also, methods to increase the availability of insects for use in research have been developed.
Our Research
- Factors that affect flight propensity
- Factors that Affect Pupation and Adult Emergence
- Modeling Phenology
- Strain Differences in Adult Survival and Fecundity
- Effect of Temperature on Larval Development and Survival
- Reproductive behaviors
- Methods to increase the availability of insects for use in research
- Within-tree Distribution & Host Range
