Utilizing Citizen Science to Identify Characteristics Important to Overwintering Site Selection for Brown Marmorated Stink Bug Torri J. Hancock, Doo-Hyung Lee, J. Christopher Bergh, Rob Morrison, and Tracy C. Leskey BMSB Working Group - June 9, 2015

Background Brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), Halyomorpha halys (Stål) caused severe agricultural crop losses become a significant nuisance pest in parts of the US Two key events occur during the process of overwintering site selection: 1)dispersal to the structure 2)settling within the structure (Inkley, 2012)

Identifying the Problem Overwintering site selection Characteristics of natural locations have been identified (Lee, et al., 2014) Characteristics identified when BMSB settle within the structure (Inkley, 2012) No published studies examining dispersal to structure Research Question: What are the specific characteristics associated with human-made structures that are important when BMSB are dispersing to overwintering sites?

Citizen Science Allows for gathering large amounts of data Well-known citizen science projects National Audubon Society’s Christmas Bird Count UK Butterfly Monitoring Scheme

Materials and Methods A survey was developed Questionnaire Data sheet Participants recruited via NPR, newspaper articles, websites including outreachwww.stopbmsb.org Participants were asked to complete and return data forms

Data Validation Criterion 1: data set must contain at least 16 completed dates during the 31 day sampling period Criterion 2: data set must contain a peak activity date that corresponds with: 1) One of the top five dates for peak website hits on StopBMSB.org for the homeowner’s corresponding state AND 2) One of the top five days of activity based on daily BMSB counts on the exterior walls performed by Chris Bergh’s lab group at his research station in Winchester, VA

Valid Data Sets 299 submitted 137 data sets excluded Total of 162 utilized for analysis from: MD ● PA VA ● GA WV ● NC ● OH

Data Analysis Separate analyses of variance (ANOVAs) created for each variable (not all variables provided by each participant) Explanatory variables included: structure color exterior structure material aspect landscape Data were not normally distributed and were log-transformed Tukey’s HSD used for pairwise comparisons α = 0.05

Results - Color

Results – Structure Material

Results - Aspect

Results - Landscape

Results – Peak Activity

Conclusions 2013 only Structure color: brown Exterior structure material: wood, stone Landscape type: rural Peak date: October 1, 2013

Next Steps Risk factors can be considered (color, material, aspect, landscape, date) 2014 CitSci Project in progress Peer-review journal article will be developed with data from 2013 and 2014
