A Computer Simulation Model of Waterhyacinth and Weevil Interactions [PDF]
A personal computer simulation model termed INSECT has been developed to evaluate biological control of waterhyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms.) by two species of weevil (Neochetina eichhorniae Warner, and N. bruchi Hustache).

Sainfoin stand termination: Variable herbicide efficacy in field conditions
Abstract Effective termination of perennial forage legumes is a critical step in a crop rotation system, particularly in arid and semi‐arid regions where soil moisture conservation and timely establishment of subsequent crops are essential. Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.), a deep‐rooted, drought‐tolerant forage legume gaining renewed interest ...

Seasonal Changes in Chemical Composition of Eurasion Watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum L.) and Water Temperature at Two Sites in northern California: implications for Herbivory [PDF]
We compared seasonal changes in Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum L.) characteristics and water temperature for a shallow poind in Davis, CA, and the Truckee River, near Tahoe City, CA. Tissue C and N were 15% lower in plants from the Truckee

Early evolutionary history of the seed
ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari (SMM), New Zealand's largest pest‐fenced ecosanctuary, provides a unique opportunity to study invertebrate responses to mammal eradication. Beetles and wētā were monitored within the mouse‐free southern exclosure and in adjacent comparable forests on the mountain, within the predator‐proof fence (in 2004/05, then 2006 ...
