Citizen Science: Training Pet Dogs to Detect the Spotted Lanternfly
… study, six pet dogs were trained to detect the spotted lanternfly. The dogs completed a training phase and five tests. The mean sensitivity of the six dogs, for the five tests, was 79.75%. The mean PPP of the six dogs, for all five tests, was 66.79%. The results suggest that these six dogs could …

BUILDING FRAMEWORKS FOR UNDERSTANDING INVASIONS AND EXTINCTIONS FOR BIODIVERSITY SCIENCE
… rapidly spreading regional U.S. grape pest, the spotted lanternfly planthopper (Lycorma delicatula; SLF), to spread and disrupt the global wine market. I found that SLF invasion potentials are aligned globally because important viticultural regions with suitable environments for SLF also heavily …
