Caging overrides effects of density in laboratory‐based physiological estimates of reproductivity in Listronotus bonariensis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Abstract:This contribution examines the potential for error when the results from laboratory-based experiments are extrapolated to inform field ecological analyses. The effects on the reproductivity of different population densities of Argentine stem weevil Listronotus bonariensis (Kuschel) were studied using caged populations of immature (pre-reproductive) and mature (reproductive) adults. Three densities of weevils equivalent to 125/m 2 (low), 375/m 2 (medium) and 1125/m 2 (high) from field-collected pre-and reproduc… Show more
