Abstract:
Variation in number of European pine sawflies Neodiprion sertifer caught in pheromone traps during 11 d of the peak flight period was in part explained by weather. Daily average air temperature was the most important variable and explained 86% of the variation. A threshold for flight was c+11°C. Rain during most of the day inhibited flight, but occasional showers did not. -from Authors
