Dodds KJ. 2007. Exotic bark beetle monitoring in Acadia National Park
Because exotic beetles can pose a serious threat to native ecosystems, detecting them early on is critical for managing the problem. From Objectives, 'To survey the bark beetle fauna of Acadia National Park and identify any exotic species present. Also, baseline information on native bark beetles will be recorded and voucher specimens will be provided to Acadia National Park.' From Results, 'Only one species, Xyleborinus alni, on the EDRR target list was identified from Acadia National Park and it is already known to occur in the northeast. No other exotic bark beetles or woodborers (...) were identified from samples taken in Acadia National Park.' /STUDY LOCATIONS:/ /MOUNT DESERT ISLAND/Bass Harbor/Wildwood Stables/Blackwoods Campground/Seawall Campground/
