The biology and ecology of the large pine weevil, Hylobius abietis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae): a problem of dispersal?
- S. Leather, K. Day, A. Salisbury
- Biology
- 1999
It is concluded that much more research into the biology and ecology of H. abietis is required before a successful Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programme can be initiated.

This chapter discusses sampling devices and sampling design for aquatic insects, as well as techniques and methods for sampling canopy insects, and discusses sampling methods for water--filled tree holes and their artificial analogues.
Mortality during dispersal and the cost of host‐specificity in parasites: how many aphids find hosts?
- S. A. Ward, S. Leather, J. Pickup, R. Harrington
- Biology
- 1 September 1998
It is proposed that it is the host's role as a rendezvous for mating that constrains the migrants to their costly host-specificity, and the implications of this low success rate for the hypothesis that aphids speciate sympatrically through the formation of host races are discussed.
