Eastern Tent Caterpillar Pheno Forecast, Contiguous United States, Current Year and Prior Year

Pheno Forecast maps predict key life cycle stages in a range of species to improve conservation and management outcomes. For insect pest species, Pheno Forecasts are based on published growing degree day (GDD) thresholds for key points in species life cycles. These key points typically represent life cycle stages when management actions are most effective. Eastern tent caterpillars are a native moth and while they can defoliate trees, the trees rarely die as a consequence.We forecast caterpillar emergence in eastern tent caterpillar (Malacosoma americanum) at 90-190F growing degree days (base 50F, start date: March 1, simple average GDD method). These maps are updated daily and available 6 days in the future. Forecasts are available for the current and prior year in the USA-NPN Visualization Tool (https://www.usanpn.org/data/visualizations).

Pheno Forecast 地图能够将众多物种的关键生命周期阶段进行映射，以优化保护和管理效果。针对昆虫害虫物种，Pheno Forecast 的预测基于已发表的物种生命周期关键节点生长度日（GDD）阈值。这些关键节点通常代表生命周期阶段，在此阶段采取的管理措施最为有效。东方帐篷毛毛虫（Malacosoma americanum）作为一种原生蛾类，虽然能够使树木落叶，但树木很少因此死亡。我们预测东方帐篷毛毛虫的幼虫出现时间在90-190F生长度日（基准50F，起始日期：3月1日，简单平均GDD方法）。这些地图每日更新，并可在未来6天内获取。当前年份及前一年的预测数据可通过 USA-NPN 可视化工具（https://www.usanpn.org/data/visualizations）查询。关于此数据集的所有疑问，请联系 USA-NPN。本数据受 USA-NPN 数据使用政策的约束。
