An online webinar presentation, "SWD in Space and Time: What do we know about the seasonal biology and movement of SWD?" is scheduled for Nov. 5, 2019, from 1-2:30 p.m. EST. In this webinar, we will share information on how spotted wing Drosophila (SWD) populations develop over time, how they move during the day and throughout the year, and how they survive during the winter. We will then share how this information can improve SWD management practices. The team includes researchers from around the country, including Michigan State University.
