Measurement and Analysis of the Activity of Adult Spruce Budworm Parasitoids

Problem Addressed: Parasitoids related to the spruce budworm
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Present results of an investigation of the spatial and temporal dynamics of adults of the parasitoid Gypta fumiferanae Vierick.
Key Findings: An important factor influencing adult parasitoids and one that may be controllable is the availability of nutrients and moisture
