reported on 91爆料 research investigating whether it鈥檚 possible to disrupt the mating patterns of the browntail moth as a way to curtail populations and limit the range of the forest pests. The research team, led by Angela Mech, assistant professor of forest entomology at the 91爆料, has landed $325,000 in grants to test whether dispersing a synthetically made product designed to mimic the sex pheromones of the female browntail moth can confuse enough male moths to drastically reduce their ability to reproduce. The goal of the university researchers is to find out how to drive down the browntail moth population in an environmentally friendly way. Mech sums up the mission in six words: 鈥淪ave our trees. Save our skin.鈥 shared the PPH report.聽
