Gypsy moth egg development: a model of phenological events
A phenological model of gypsy moth egg development is proposed that distinguishes three phases of egg development, prediapause, diapause and postdiapause. A technique of measuring respiration rates of individual eggs was developed and respiration rate was used as a physiological variable to …

Egg mass sampling plans for gypsy moth management programs
The goal of this research was to develop gypsy moth egg mass sampling plans that reflect the influence of habitat, changes in egg mass distribution, and provide populations densities or density categories for making control decisions. Sequential egg mass sampling plans for gypsy moth management …

Indirect effects between deer, mice, and the gypsy moth in a forest community
… species that deer may indirectly affect is the gypsy moth, whose pupae are preyed upon by the white-footed mouse. Through alterations to understory habitat of mice, deer may reduce mouse predation on gypsy moth pupae. In this study, I tested for indirect effects of deer on the gypsy moth by …
