MeSH headings : Animals; Coleoptera; Sex Attractants / pharmacology; Pheromones / pharmacology; Larva; Acetates; Insect Control / methods
topics (OpenAlex): Insect and Pesticide Research; Entomopathogenic Microorganisms in Pest Control; Insect Resistance and Genetics
TL;DR: It was shown that 1 m elevated pheromone traps caught the most beetles, and the age of the lure prior to deployment had a significant effect on trap catch, as well as large variation in M. communis abundance across the 4 states. (via Semantic Scholar)
