Abstract
With the increase in international trade and climate change, invasive exotic species represent a growing threat to Canadian forests. These species can cause irreversible damage to the environment and economic losses totalling several hundreds of millions of dollars. The Asian gypsy moth is an excellent example of such invasive exotic species which, should it become established in Canada, could cause major damage to Canadian forests. Researchers with the Canadian Forest Service (CFS) are developing tools to determine the geographic origin of the gypsy moths intercepted in Canadian ports.
