Dendroctonus ponderosae flight in a suburban environment in Cheyenne, Wyoming José F.

Lindgren funnel traps with an attractant were used to monitor Dendroctonus ponderosae flight weekly during the summer of 2011 (June through October) at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, High Plains Grasslands Research Station in stands of planted ponderosa pine.<br>The flight period of Dendroctonus ponderosae has been scantly studied and available data come from forested ecosystems. The are no data available from suburban environments. When Dendroctonus ponderosae reaches epidemic populations it also kills various species of Pinus in suburban and urban settings. It is unknown if the flight period in lower elevation suburban and urban environments is similar to that of higher elevation forested ecosystems. These data are important to properly implement management strategies in suburban and urban settings.<br>For more information about this study and these data, see Negrón et al.
