Hughes and Madden's binary power law was used to analyse sample data of three life stages of gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar) and adult emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis), both important invasive forest pests in North America.
Tally thresholds were used to convert quantitative gypsy moth data to binomial, presence–absence data for binary power law analysis.
Presence–absence data from two emerald...
1. A relationship between sampling efficiency and Taylor's power law (TPL) is derived and illustrated with data from gypsy moth samples taken in Pennsylvania.
2. It is shown that attractant traps such as pheromone and light traps may exhibit density‐dependent sampling efficiency which can influence the parameters of TPL.
3. Comparison of the light trap and pheromone trap sample data with those of...
