Abstract. 1. Overwintered and starved weevils fed on beech within 5 min of contacting the plant in spring, and oviposition occurred in less than 48 h after feeding.

Abstract. I. An investigation of the effects of position of food in the gut (gut state), time since feeding, meal size and environmental temperature on the detection of prey using the electrophoretic separation of proteins with esterase activity was undertaken. The waterbug Notonecta glauca Linn (Hemiptera/Heteroptera) was used as the model predator.

Abstract. 1. A multiple regression analysis of the leaf miners on British native angiosperm tree genera was performed using measures of plant range, maximum height, taxonomic isolation and species per genus as independent variables.

Abstract. 1. We compared high and low density populations of a leaf miner (Stilbosis quadricustatella (Cham.)) on two host oaks to ascertain mechanisms influencing abundance. High density miner populations occurred on sand live oak, Quercus geminata (Fagaceae), found in homogeneous stands at inland and coastal sites. Quercus nigra, water oak, a patchily distributed inland species, supported a low density leaf miner population.

Abstract. 1. A scheme for monitoring the abundance of butterflies at about eighty sites in Britain is described.

Abstract. 1. Adult staphylinid beetles Thinopinus pictus LeC. are noct turnal predators of sand beach amphipods, Orchestoidea califomiana (Brandt). I made continuous observations of Thinopinus near the drift patches on which amphipods feed.

Abstract. 1. The discovery and utilization of small carcasses by burying beetles (Silphidae, Nicrophorus) was studied by placing dead mice at random points on large grids at two Iocations in Michigan, U.S.A.

Abstract. 1. Burying beetles are carrion feeders that specialize on small carcasses. We investigated interactions among congeners at two sites in Michigan, U.S.A., that differ in both number and relative proportion of species.
