    Creator:
    Cooper, G. M.
    Abstract:
    The Miridae, or plant bugs, associated with noble fir, Abies procera Rehd., are discussed. Thirty six species of the Miridae were collected from noble fir. Twenty five of these species are considered only "visitors" to noble fir. The study does not deal with these species. Noble fir is a host...

  • Riparian and adjacent upslope beetle communities along a third order stream in the western Cascade Mountain Range, Oregon

    Creator:
    Brenner, Gregory John
    Abstract:
    Monitoring wildlife habitats has become important to forest ecosystem management because it provides valuable information about the response of forests and their species to harvest practices, impacts from recreational use, conservation efforts, and natural and human-caused disturbances. Monitoring is a complex task that requires a variety of abiotic and biotic...

    The black grass bug genus Irbisia Reuter was revised. Over 18,000 specimens were examined and information concerning the biology, host plant and distributional relationships of the species was compiled. In addition to external characters, the male claspers and vesica, and the female dorsal libiate plate of the bursa copulatrix and...

    Creator:
    Asquith, Adam
    Abstract:
    The genus Lopidea Uhler is revised for America north of Mexico. The relationship of Lopidea to other orthotyline genera is discussed and it is proposed that the genus Ilnacora Reuter is the sister group of Lopidea. Forty-eight species of Lopidea are recognized in North America, one of which is described...

    Creator:
    Stonedahl, Gary Michael
    Abstract:
    The western Nearctic species of the genus Phytocoris Fallen were taxonomically revised. Over 15,000 specimens were examined. Information concerning host plant associations and distributions was compiled and summarized for use by future researchers. External morphological features and characters of the male genitalia were used to distinguish species. The genital tubercles...
