Comparing pest survey methods through detection probability: seasonal and abundance-dependent detection of spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula, Hemiptera: Fulgoridae)
BACKGROUND: Invasive species management demands accurate information on the distribution of targeted pests, but surveys have imperfect detection. Understanding the factors influencing detection probability can guide improved management planning. For the invasive spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula), several sampling methods have been used. We evaluated three widely applied methods: 5-minute…
