The Asian Long-Horned Beetle In Rural Woodlands
The Asian long-horned beetle has created havoc in several eastern cities. Until recently it was unknown in rural woodlands. The ALB has a broad host range, and its potential for significant disruption to the forest ecosystem is not fully known. This webinar (July 16, 2014) will address the emerging science and knowledge of ALB in rural woodlands.
