This study reports the connection between the geomagnetic Disturbance Storm Time (D st ) and the catches of seven harmful moth species in pheromone traps. The collections occurred between 1982 and 2013, mostly using two traps per species. The captured moths were counted every morning.
A relationship was found between the values of geomagnetic DisturbanceStorm Time (D st ) and the number of trapped moths for all species but the relationships varied. Three types were identified, namely increasing, increasing then decreasing and decreasing then increasing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
