POPULATION STUDIES OF GRASS GRUB (Costelytra zealandica) AND BLACK BEETLE (Heteronychus arator) (COLEOPTERA: SCARABAEIDAE)
Population studies of grass grub and black beetle have revealed simple patterns of population determination. Populations fluctuate in response to variations in soil moisture and temperature. The upper limit to population growth is set by density dependent factors (larval mortality of grass grub and variation in natality of black beetle). Parasites and predators appear to be generally unimportan...

commended the value of the scale of the project, but cautioned that there are 'lots of unknowns', such as how plants might migrate along it. " We are going to be looking at this for a long time, " he said. The first landowner to buy into the scheme is the Australian Bush Heritage Fund, a non-profit organisation that buys land for conservation with both government funding and private donations. ...
متن کاملAerially applied methylcyclohexenone-releasing flakes protect Pseudotsuga menziesii stands from attack by Dendroctonus pseudotsugae
We tested methylcyclohexenone (MCH), an anti-aggregation pheromone for the Douglas-fir beetle (Dendroctonus pseudotsugae), for protection of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) stands by applying MCH-releasing polymer flakes by helicopter twice during summer 2006 to five 4.05-ha plots in the State of Washington, USA. Five similar plots served as untreated controls. We assessed D. pseudotsugae f...
متن کاملCentral Composite experimental design applied to removal of phenanthrene and acenaphthene from soil samples
Abstract In this work, removal of phenanthrene and acenaphthene, as a representative of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, was investigated from soil samples by the soil washing remediation method combined with Central Composite Design. Response surface methodology was utilized to investigate the individual and interactive effects of three variables of removal process including surfactant solut...
متن کاملNonhost Angiosperm Volatiles and Verbenone Protect Individual Ponderosa Pines from Attack by Western Pine Beetle and Red Turpentine Beetle (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae)
combination with the host monoterpene myrcene is highly attractive to conspecifics (Bedard et al. 1969). Frontalin, produced by male WPB (Kinzer et al. 1969), enhances attraction. Poland et al. (1998) were the first to examine the disruptive effect of NAVs on WPB attraction, but their study was limited in scope to green leaf volatiles only and was conducted at the periphery of the beetle’s nati...
