Super excited to share our paper on regional cold tolerance differences in #sprucebudworm - DYK that N pops can handle +++ more cold than S pops? Great work by Skye Butterson for her MSc UBC Zoology with Katie Marshall and us @GLFC_CFS Simply Science authors.elsevier.com/c/1dDfs3v7jMyk…

Agreed! Do not wrap your trees in tape. Many other creatures get stuck to the tape - birds, reptiles, amphibians - and end up dying a horrible death. Burlap is a much better option.

I reviewed a paper based on a survey that suffered strongly from this bias, and I tell you what, it’s insidious and scary when people don’t realise how their survey methods bias their findings.
