Emerson Oaks Reserve

03 Jul, 01 PM - 03 Jul, 03 PM

Specially trained dogs are frequently used to detect substances and items that are not readily detectable by humans or that have been purposely hidden. Recently, dogs have been used to detect insect pests, such as bed bugs and various agricultural pests. We have contracted with IDDogs to train a dog to detect calling females of the genus Prionus, by detecting the pheromone that these species produce. The research proposed here is the field trial to determine if our dog can find calling females in natural conditions. We will target Prionus lecontei, and the females beetles that we collect will be used to confirm the identity of the pheromone of P. lecontei.
