South-eastern red-tailed black-cockatoo Calyptorhynchus banksii graptogyne
Red-tailed black-cockatoos are specialist feeders, relying almost entirely on the seeds of brown and desert stringybark (Eucalyptus baxteri and E. arenacea) and buloke trees (Allocasuarina luehmannii). The cockatoos feed almost entirely on the stringybark species that has fruited most recently and there are marked periods of food shortage between new crops. For a period of 2-3 months in late su...
متن کاملزیستشناسی مقدماتی سوسک برگخوار Chrysomela saliceti Suffrian (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
سوسک‌های برگخوار جنس Chrysomela از آفات مهم نهالستان‌ها و صنوبرکاری‌ها به‌شمار می‌روند. گونۀ Chrysomela populi در بیشتر مناطق صنوبرکاری ایران فعالیت دارد و پژوهش‌هایی هم در مورد آن صورت گرفته است، اما اطلاعات ما در مورد گونه‌های دیگر این جنس بسیار اندک است. زیست‌شناسی گونۀ Chrysomela saliceti با استفاده از حشرات زمستان‌گذرانی کرده در آزمایشگاه (حرارت 1 ± 25 درجۀ سان...
متن کاملHost plant shifts affect a major defense enzyme in Chrysomela lapponica.
Chrysomelid leaf beetles use chemical defenses to overcome predatory attack and microbial infestation. Larvae of Chrysomela lapponica that feed on willow sequester plant-derived salicin and other leaf alcohol glucosides, which are modified in their defensive glands to bioactive compounds. Salicin is converted into salicylaldehyde by a consecutive action of a β-glucosidase and salicyl alcohol ox...
متن کاملChrysomela scripta, Plagiodera versicolora (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), and Trichoplusia ni (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Track Specific Leaf Developmental Stages
It is well recognized that host-specialized folivores prefer to feed on young in comparison to old leaves. However, the capacity of young leaf feeders to track speciÞc leaf developmental stages has not been clearly demonstrated. Using three insect folivores and two plant species, we show that nitrogen (N) fertilization changes leaf development and that herbivores track these changes in leaf dev...
متن کاملActivity and heavy metal resistance of non-specific esterases in leaf beetle Chrysomela lapponica from polluted and unpolluted habitats.
We compared the general activity and heavy metal resistance of non-specific esterases in two populations of the leaf beetle Chrysomela lapponica from habitats severely contaminated by heavy metals (mostly Ni and Cu) and two populations from unpolluted habitats. Concentrations of Ni and Cu in adult beetles from the most polluted site were 7.7 and 3.6 times higher that in beetles from unpolluted ...
