| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted to "determine the best managed golf course habitat for dead-wood insects and the optimal distance from fairway management practices for that habitat." Describes the materials and the methods used in the experiment, explaining that "to examine which environments present on these golf courses are the best habitat for dead-wood boring insects, we placed 10-meter grids of four sentinel logs in three different types of environments: grassy meadow, managed glade, and forest." |

| USGA Summary Points: | Research is underway to determine the effect, if any, of fairway management practices on dead-wood insect species, both pest and beneficial, as well as the most appropriate habitat for conserving dead-wood habitat for beneficial species. Seventy-two individual rearing tubes have been constructed at Purdue University and will be loaded with sentinel logs at the end of November 2009. Work has begun to digitize approximately 40 Midwestern golf courses using aerial photographs and GIS. These digital maps will allow for spatial analysis of habitat patches within each course and improve conservation recommendations. |
