| a comparison of the responses of two tropical specialist herbivores to host plant patch size. | the effects of host plant patch size on the abundances of two specialist herbivores (the chrysomelid beetle, acalymma innubum and the pentatomid bug, piezosternum subulatum) were investigated in a natural forest community in the virgin islands. abundances were compared early and late in the season in different sized patches of the cucurbit host plant (cayaponia americana) growing in open habitat (with no surrounding plant community) and forest habitat (with diverse surrounding plant community). ... | 1986 | 28311715 |
