Abstract

In studying the attraction of spruce bark beetles Ips typographus to a pheromone trap, we have proposed a simple diffusion model with drift as a description of the flight of the bark beetles. The model predictions were compared with the results of a release‐recapture experiment, and here we recapitulate the main results from the fitting of models to the data. Several modifications of the basic model were necessary in order to describe the data adequately.
