| leaf phenology, seasonal changes in leaf quality and herbivory pattern of sanguisorba tenuifolia at different altitudes. | leaf demography, seasonal changes in leaf quality and leaf-beetle herbivory of a herbaceous perennial plant, sanguisorba tenuifolia, were compared between low- and high-elevation sites. leaf nitrogen concentration was higher and leaf mass per area (lma) was lower at the higher site than at the lower one. at the lower site, with a long growth period, plants produced many leaf cohorts and leaves emerged throughout the growing season. at the higher site, with a short growth period, however, leaf em ... | 1998 | 28308483 |
| lethal effect of blue light on strawberry leaf beetle, galerucella grisescens (coleoptera: chrysomelidae). | in a previous study, we found that blue-light irradiation kills insects such as fruit flies, mosquitos, and flour beetles. however, the lethal effects of blue light on coleopteran field crop pests have not been investigated. chrysomelidae, a major family in phytophagous beetles, includes many species of crop pests. we investigated the lethal effect of blue light on chrysomelid beetles by examining the mortality of the strawberry leaf beetle galerucella grisescens irradiated with different wavele ... | 2017 | 28578425 |
