antimicrobial activity of exocrine glandular secretion of chrysomela larvae.	the exocrine glandular secretions of leaf beetle larvae of the taxon chrysomela are well-known defensive devices used against some generalist predators. salicylaldehyde is the major repellent component of secretions emitted by larvae of chrysomela vigintipunctata and c. lapponica, which feed on salicin-rich salicaceae. in this study, we examined whether salicylaldehyde is also active against the entomopathogenic fungus metarhizium anisopliae. the germination and growth of this fungus was strongl ...	2002	11925070
temperature-dependent development in chrysomela vigintipunctata (coleoptera: chrysomelidae), a stenothermal early-season breeder.	chrysomela vigintipunctata (scopoli) is a univoltine leaf beetle commonly encountered on willows across the palearctic forest zone. the preimaginal development in this species takes place during a short time period, from may to june, because larvae are unable to consume mature leaves of the host plant. therefore, the diet quality imposes a time constraint, and it was expected that the temperature dependence of development in c. vigintipunctata should be adaptively adjusted to the shortness and c ...	2015	26590450
salix transect of europe: patterns in the most abundant chrysomelid beetle (coleoptera: chrysomelidae) herbivores of willow from greece to arctic norway.	chrysomelid beetles associated with willow (salix spp.) were surveyed at 41 sites across europe, from greece (lat. 38.8 °n) to arctic norway (lat. 69.7 °n).	2016	27956853
