[NHCOLL-L:2006] Integrated Pest Management website

[Rachael Arenstein]

I would like to invite anyone interested in a more detailed discussion of
issues surrounding Integrated Pest Management programs to join a Listserv
dedicated to this topic.  The recent SPNHC Conference in Lubbock
(spectacularly organized by Richard Monk, Museum of Texas Tech University)
included several papers on integrated pest management topics. 
Additionally, this year the conference included the first Special Interest
Group meeting
on IPM which generated a lot of good ideas.  Discussed topics included: 
 
- Database models for storing and mapping pest monitoring data 
- Collaboration to build an image database to aid in identification of
pests
captured on sticky traps
- Pros and cons of trapping versus direct daily monitoring
- Practical tips on freezing and CO2 treatments for pest eradication
- A survey on the types or needs of museum pest monitoring projects,
databases, etc.
 
In a desire to build on the interest and momentum exhibited at this
meeting we would be pleased to have people continue this discussion on the
Listserv.  Leon Zak of Zak Software, who is part of the team Image
Permanence
Institute team that developed the environmental monitoring program Climate
Notebook is the generous host of the List.  I have included below his
information on how to subscribe.
