Ecological Brief: Fire Beetle Migration to Eastern Ohio
Abstract:
Field research confirms an abnormally high population increase of fire chaser beetles in the eastern parts of Ohio. Higher concentrations have been found in areas affected by the wildfires of the 2050's.
Findings:
Population growth far exceeds the bounds of native breeding cycles. Migration from across the continent is likely based on physical variability found within specimens.
Discussion:
The speculated range that the beetles have traveled supports emerging evidence of their heat detection mechanisms being influenced by infrared radiation from the fires and not smoke.
Conclusion:
The rapid increase in population could pose a threat to local agriculture. Chemical intervention is recommended.
