The Relationship Between the Populations of Spotted Lanternflies and Tree-of-heaven in NYC Parks
We studied the invasive spotted lanternfly’s presence in NYC parks and its relationship to the also invasive tree-of-heaven.
How does the relative abundance of invasive and noninvasive plant species affect that of their insect counterparts?
Research and study of some of the native and non-native species in New York. Focusing more on the spotted lanternfly, milkweed bug, tree of heaven, and milkweed plant.
