Influence of climate on gypsy moth defoliation in southern New England
1989
Miller, D.R. | Mo, T.K. | Wallner, W.E.
Weather records in Massachusetts and Connecticut were compared with annual gypsy moth defoliation areas to isolate weather factors influencing the size of gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar (L.), outbreaks using multiple regression and autoregression techniques. Warmer daily minimum temperatures around egg hatch (the first of May) and droughts in October during the preceding generation were significant predictors for higher overall acreages defoliated.
