研究者可以训练猎犬 探测侵入性斑点的绿灯蝇 帮助控制其扩散 Researchers find dogs can be trained to detect invasive spotted lanternfly, helping control its spread.

Virginia Tech研究人员发现,日常的狗可以接受训练,以探测侵入性发现点灯虫,协助保护农场和森林。 Virginia Tech researchers have found that everyday dogs can be trained to detect the invasive spotted lanternfly, aiding in efforts to protect farms and forests. 狗的嗅觉非常敏锐 能够嗅出昆虫的蛋群 达到类似于专业狗的检测率 Dogs, with their highly acute sense of smell, can sniff out the insect's egg masses, achieving detection rates similar to professional dogs. 这一发现可以增强公民科学家及其宠物的能力,使他们能够在控制绿灯苍蝇分布于18个州方面发挥重大作用,既有利于环境,也有益于农业。 This discovery could empower citizen scientists and their pets to play a significant role in controlling the lanternfly's spread across 18 states, benefiting both the environment and agriculture.
