Tree Fruit Functional Ecology
Pest and Natural Enemy Biodiversity, Abundance, and Distribution along America's Pioneer Immigration Routes
A research project that examines the current populations of arthropod pests and natural enemies found on abandoned apple and stome fruit trees along America's pioneer immigration routes of the 1800's. Initial emphasis has focused on the Great Basin and the Oregon, Santa Fe, California and Montana Trails.
