Abstract:Sirex noctilio is an invasive forest wasp that affects pines in many parts of the globe and can result in severe economic losses.
Current trapping methods for monitoring the pest rely heavily on non‐specific semiochemicals. This lack of specificity can translate into low attraction/capture levels, something that is undesired, especially when the intent is to detect the pest when still at low population densities. In this context, an interesting opportunity arises to increase trap sensitivity by incorporating v… Show more
