Creator:: McIver, James D.
Abstract:: The influence of natural enemies and plant apparency in determining the abundance of the cabbage aphid Brevicoryne brassicae L. and the imported cabbageworm Pieris rapae L. was examined on collards grown in a collard monoculture and in a collard-alfalfa biculture. This design was used to examine the factors affecting collardherbivore...

Creator:: Heyborne, William H.
Abstract:: The effects of forest cutting on forested systems and the biotic components of those systems has been at the forefront of scientific research. The inventory and monitoring of biodiversity is one technique used for measuring the effects of forest management. Because bioinventory studies are expensive, indicator species are often sought...

Abstract:: Defensive chemical and nutritive quality of young leaves were measured for 72 individual trees of Chrysolepis [Castanopsis] chrysophylla in conjunction with light intensities of two different stand types and population numbers of Habrodais grunus herri in the Cascade mountains of Oregon. Leaves were collected in the spring and leaf characteristics...

Creator:: Belnavis, Diane Lyn
Abstract:: Ecological relationships between D. coccinellae and its coccinellid hosts were examined in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, in 1982. The distribution and relative abundance of seven species of coccinellids from eight collecting sites were monitored to determine percent parasitism by D. coccinellae on a spatial and temporal basis. Host size and...
