Effects of Soil Moisture on the Pupation Behavior of \u3ci\u3eAltica Subplicata\u3c/i\u3e (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) [PDF]
The effects of soil moisture on the pupation behavior of a willow flea beetle, Attica subplicata, were studied with two laboratory experiments. To test the effect of soil moisture on the number of larvae pupating and pupal survival, we set up pupation ...

Complete convergence theorem for a two-level contact process [PDF]
We study a two-level contact process. We think of fleas living on a species of animals. The animals are a supercritical contact process in $\mathbb{Z}^d$. The contact process acts as the random environment for the fleas. The fleas do not affect the animals, give birth at rate $\mu$ when they are living on a host animal, and die at rate $\delta$ when ...

Between-Site Variation in Suitability of \u3ci\u3eSalix Cordata\u3c/i\u3e as a Host for \u3ci\u3eAltica Subplicata\u3c/i\u3e (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) [PDF]
To investigate local adaptation of insect herbivore populations to host plant populations, willow flea beetles (Altica subplicata) were collected from two distant sites in northern Michigan (Grass Bay, GB; Pte. Aux Chenes, PAC) and reared on host plants (

Flea Beetle Control in Canola, 1995 [PDF]
Abstract Plots were established at the Washington State University Animal Science Farm in Pullman, WA. Treated and untreated seed were planted on 19 May with a small plot drill at a seeding rate of 6 lb/acre in 7 rows, 6 inches apart. The late seeding date insured an even distribution of flea beetle adults.
