The finding of a breeding population of Ips typographus in Kent, England, in 2018 and subsequent findings in pheromone traps across the southeast of England, has led to an urgent need to improve understanding of environmental suitability across the UK. 🌍📈
Head of Entomology, Max Blake, along with colleagues from @Cambridge_Uni have just published ‘Phenology of the spruce bark beetle Ips typographus in the UK under past, current and future climate conditions’.

Can you help us monitor the potential spread of the eight-toothed spruce bark beetle Ips typographus? 🔍
A new monitoring project needs volunteers who own or manage spruce woodland to install spruce bark beetle traps.
