Stability of Patches of Higher Population Density within the Heterogenous Distribution of the Gray Field Slug <i>Deroceras reticulatum</i> in Arable Fields in the UK

Stability of Patches of Higher Population Density within the Heterogenous Distribution of the Gray Field Slug <i>Deroceras reticulatum</i> in Arable Fields in the UK

Exploitation of heterogenous distributions of <i>Deroceras reticulatum</i>, in arable fields by targeting molluscicide applications toward areas with higher slug densities, relies on these patches displaying sufficient spatio-temporal stability. Regular sampling of slug activity/distribu...
