# Talk:European spruce bark beetle

I just read that someone in Finland has trained a sniffer dog to detect early stages of infestation.
They write that in Sweden there is already a service to hire such dogs.
Sorry I do not have links or references.  This was from a news article in a Finish paper.

Ah, I added a mention of sniffer dogs in Britain. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:52, 31 August 2025 (UTC)

Starting review. MisawaSakura (talk) 14:20, 30 September 2025 (UTC)
Copyvio - Earwig tool returns very low score, good! MisawaSakura (talk)`
Images - all free and good sources. MisawaSakura (talk) 14:28, 30 September 2025 (UTC)
Refs - good quality but
Ref 10, Stallard and Rowlatt, should have an access-date parameter. MisawaSakura (talk) 14:28, 30 September 2025 (UTC)
Added.
Infobox synomyms -they look like this:
Dermestes typographus L.
Bostrichus octodentatusPaykull
Ips japonicus Niijima
Tomicus typographusMotschulsky
1) Why is Ips japonicus not in italics?
Fixed.
2) Why do two of them have a space between the scientific name and person's name and the other two don't? They should be consistent, I'd expect. My guess is there should be a space. MisawaSakura (talk) 14:34, 30 September 2025 (UTC)
Fixed.
Prose - I made two minor edits. Otherwise, no issues. MisawaSakura (talk) 14:45, 30 September 2025 (UTC)
