FEATURED RESEARCH

Developing New Ideas To Deal With Bark Beetle Infestations

The mountain pine beetle spend the majority of their life cycle beneath the bark of their host trees, making it difficult to control them by conventional methods. This project focuses on two chemical pheromones, by exploiting these unique compounds as potential targets. Read More...
