Novel in vitro procedures for rearing a root-feeding pest (Heteronychus arator) of grasslands
Optimising plant protection against insect herbivory relies on testing plant defence mechanisms and how the insect response to these defensive strategies. Such experiments benefit from using insects generated from standardised rearing protocols since this reduces stochastic variation. Such protocols...
