Population abundance and host use pattern of Ophraella communa (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in its native and introduced range
BIOCONTROL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY(2013)
Abstract
We found that the abundance of Ophraella communa, a specialist herbivore of the invasive weeds Ambrosia artemisiifolia and A. trifida, is higher in the introduced range than in its native range. We also found that the native O. communa does not feed on A. trifida, but introduced O. communa does so extensively.
