Title:
A MULTI-ISOTOPE GEOLOCATION PLATFORM TO TRACK THE ORIGIN AND LARVAL GROWTH CONDITIONS OF DISPERSING EASTERN SPRUCE BUDWORM
Agreement Number:
26SBW_UO_CB
Agreement Value:
$447,350.00
Agreement Date:
Aug 2, 2023 - Apr 30, 2026
Description:
Building on work done in collaboration with the Invasive Species Centre during early intervention strategy Phase 2, this project is examining new methods and data to further our understanding of spruce budworm (SBW) migration by using isotopes to identify where a SBW moth originated.
Organization:
Natural Resources Canada
Expected Results:

Create a map of isotope spatial variations at high-resolution to facilitate the identification of the origin of long-distance migrants at specific trapping sites to inform short to medium term planning purposes and risk management of spruce budworm.

Program:
Contributions in support of Spruce Budworm Early Intervention Strategy - Phase III
Program Purpose:

The objectives of the program are to: Reduce SBW populations in Atlantic Canada’s forests to prevent development of an outbreak, tree defoliation and wood supply loss, through small area target-specific insecticide application; and, improve knowledge and tools to address current and future SBW outbreak development and spread.
