A root-feeding, Mexican flea beetle, Longitarsus bethae Savini & Escalona 2005 (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Alticinae), was evaluated in quarantine as a candidate biological control agent for the noxious weed, Lantana camara L. (Verbenaceae). The premise was that L. bethae would only be released if it could be ascertained that it was: (i) safe for non-target plants; (ii) likely to inflict significant damage on the target weed; and (ii) capable of surviving under the various (abiotic and biotic) environmental conditions in its new range. 2014-08-13T14:10:14Z 2014-08-13T14:10:14Z 2006 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/6190 eng application/pdf Department of Biological Sciences Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
