Hi all! I was wondering if anyone is seeing spikes in indicator species like booklice, springtails etc in their spaces with the increasing temperatures and warm, humid weather that we’ve all been experiencing over the last few years? I note that several institutions have reported seeing upticks in pest activity over the last few years which is suggested to be caused by climate change issues. Is anyone finding this to be the case with their institution? How much do you consider indicator species to be a problem for your institution? I think a lot of places are now struggling with humidity levels and other issues that are making IPM challenging, and I'm interested to hear about other people's experiences of how monitoring your collections has developed and changed over the last 5-10 years.
