Phratora Tibialis
''Phratora tibialis'' is a species of leaf beetle found in Europe and parts of Asia. This beetle is found on willows (''Salix'' species) and the chemistry and production of its larval defensive secretions and host plant relationships have been studied extensively. Description This small (3.7–5 mm) beetle is similar and size and coloration to other species of ''Phratora''. Adults are typically metallic blue or green. In Europe, it is most likely to co-occur on Salix host species with ''Phratora vitellinae''. It is somewhat narrower in body shape than ''P. vitellinae''. This beetle is very similar in morphology and behavior to the Nordic species ''Phratora polaris'', as noted by Palmen, Steinhausen, Sundholm, and Köpf et al. (1996). For example, the female genitalia of ''P. tibialis,'' (which can be examined with live beetles when moderate pressure is applied to the abdomen under the dissecting scope), closely resemble those of ''P. polaris''. Eggs are typically laid in clutc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Salix Triandra
''Salix triandra'', with the common names almond willow, almond-leaved willow or black maul willow, is a species of willow native to Europe and Western and Central Asia. It is found from south-eastern England east to Lake Baikal, and south to Spain and the Mediterranean east to the Caucasus, and the Alborz Mountains. It usually grows in riparian habitats, on river and stream banks, and in wetlands.Meikle, R. D. (1984). ''Willows and Poplars of Great Britain and Ireland''. BSBI Handbook No. 4. .Rushforth, K.

Beetles Of Europe
Beetles are insects that form the order Coleoptera (), in the superorder Endopterygota. Their front pair of wings are hardened into wing-cases, elytra, distinguishing them from most other insects. The Coleoptera, with about 400,000 described species, is the largest of all orders, constituting almost 40% of described insects and 25% of all known animal life-forms; new species are discovered frequently, with estimates suggesting that there are between 0.9 and 2.1 million total species. Found in almost every habitat except the sea and the polar regions, they interact with their ecosystems in several ways: beetles often feed on plants and fungi, break down animal and plant debris, and eat other invertebrates. Some species are serious agricultural pests, such as the Colorado potato beetle, while others such as Coccinellidae (ladybirds or ladybugs) eat aphids, scale insects, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects that damage crops. Beetles typically have a particularly hard exos ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chrysomelinae
The Chrysomelinae are a subfamily of leaf beetles (Chrysomelidae), commonly known as broad-bodied leaf beetles or broad-shouldered leaf beetles. It includes some 3,000 species around the world. The best-known member is the notorious Colorado potato beetle (''Leptinotarsa decemlineata''), an important agricultural pest. Description Adults of Chrysomelinae are beetles with the following features: antennae inserted on or adjacent to anterior edge of head; inner face of each mandible with large membranous prostheca; each wing with only one anal cell (sometimes the wings are reduced or absent); metendosternite lateral arms without lobes; femora without internal spring sclerite; tibial spurs absent; tarsi without bifid setae; stridulatory mechanism absent; male aedeagus without tegminal ring and the testes not fused within a common membrane; female kotpresse absent.

Barcode Of Life Data Systems
The Barcode of Life Data System (commonly known as BOLD or BOLDSystems) is a web platform specifically devoted to DNA barcoding. It is a cloud-based data storage and analysis platform developed at the Centre for Biodiversity Genomics in Canada. It consists of four main modules, a data portal, an educational portal, a registry of BINs (putative species), and a data collection and analysis workbench which provides an online platform for analyzing DNA sequences. Since its launch in 2005, BOLD has been extended to provide a range of functionality including data organization, validation, visualization and publication. The most recent version of the system, version 4, launched in 2017, brings a set of improvements supporting data collection and analysis but also includes novel functionality improving data dissemination, citation, and annotation. Before November 16, 2020, BOLD already contained barcode sequences for 318,105 formally described species covering animals, plants, fungi, protist ...

Phratora Laticollis
''Phratora laticollis'' is a species of leaf beetle found in Europe and Asia. This beetle is found on ''Populus'' species and the chemistry and production of its larval defensive secretions and host plant relationships have been studied extensively. Description This small (3.7–5 mm) beetle is similar and size and coloration to other species of ''Phratora''. Adults are typically metallic blue or green. In Europe, it is most likely to co-occur on Populus host species with two other ''Phratora'' species ''Phratora vitellinae'' and ''Phratora atrovirens''. It is larger and more abundant than ''P. atrovirens'' and somewhat narrower in body shape than ''P. vitellinae''. Eggs are typically laid in clutches of 8–16, arranged in rows on the underside of the host leaf. Like other ''Phratora'' species, eggs are partially covered with a crusty secretion. Larvae feed in groups in early instars (molts), and sometimes show color polymorphisms. Range ''Phratora laticollis'' has a widespread ...

Salix Caprea
''Salix caprea'', known as goat willow, pussy willow or great sallow, is a common species of willow native to Europe and western and central Asia.Meikle, R. D. (1984). ''Willows and Poplars of Great Britain and Ireland''. BSBI Handbook 4. . Description It is a deciduous shrub or small tree, reaching a height of , rarely to 13 m. The leaves are 3–12 cm long and from 2–8 cm wide, broader than most other willows. The flowers are soft silky, and silvery 3-7-cm-long catkins are produced in early spring before the new leaves appear; the male and female catkins are on different plants (dioecious). The male catkins mature yellow at pollen release, the female catkins mature pale green. The fruit is a small capsule 5–10 mm long containing numerous minute seeds embedded in fine, cottony hairs. The seeds are very small (about 0.2 mm) with the fine hairs aiding dispersal; they require bare soil to germinate.Rushforth, K. (1999). ''Trees of Britain and Europe''. Collins. . The tw ...

Salix Euxina
''Salix euxina'', the eastern crack-willow, is a species of flowering plant in the willow family Salicaceae, native from Turkey to the Caucasus. It was first described by I. V. Belyaeva in 2009. It is one of the parents of the common crack-willow, ''Salix'' × ''fragilis''. Description ''Salix euxina'' is a tree which can reach 15–20 m high with a trunk diameter of up to 1 m. It has a wide crown, and old trees develop deeply fissured bark on their trunks. The olive green branchlets are hairless (glabrous) and very brittle at the base, so that branches easily break off. These are able to root and propagate the species. The leaves are pale green and glabrous. They have stomata only on the undersurface. The catkins are relatively thick with somewhat densely clustered flowers. ''Salix'' × ''fragilis'', the hybrid between ''Salix euxina'' and ''Salix alba'', has hairs on its branches and branchlets, stomata on both surfaces of its leaves, and slender, more ...

Chrysomelidae
The insects of the beetle family Chrysomelidae are commonly known as leaf beetles, and include over 37,000 (and probably at least 50,000) species in more than 2,500 genera, making up one of the largest and most commonly encountered of all beetle families. Numerous subfamilies are recognized, but the precise taxonomy and systematics are likely to change with ongoing research. Leaf beetles are partially recognizable by their tarsal formula, which appears to be 4-4-4, but is actually 5-5-5 as the fourth tarsal segment is very small and hidden by the third. As with many taxa, no single character defines the Chrysomelidae; instead, the family is delineated by a set of characters. Some lineages are only distinguished with difficulty from longhorn beetles (family Cerambycidae), namely by the antennae not arising from frontal tubercles. Adult and larval leaf beetles feed on all sorts of plant tissue, and all species are fully herbivorous. Many are serious pests of cultivated plants, ...
