Presentation transcript:

A field and laboratory exercise that studies the relationship between Dalmation toadflax and its biological control agent, the stem weevil. Field data collection. a) estimate stem density of toadflax at one or more sites. b) collect a sample of stems of toadflax from one or more sites Lab work. 1. Carefully measure 20 cm sections of toadflax stems (note: if lots of egg scars, use only 10 cm. Cut the stems to this length. 2.Count egg scars (see 4 th PPT slide) per unit of stem. 3.Carefully dissect the stem and see how many weevils you can find. Class effort: 1)Graph class results: numbers of weevils found versus number of egg scars. 2)Compare your egg scar average to that found on the Front Range, How does your site compare. 3) Based on your numbers and graph of relationship between egg scars and plant reproduction (5 th PPT slide), how healthy is your population of toadflax?

Toadflax Life Cycle 1 mm Seed Adult 5 cm Seedling Rosette

Interaction: Weevils and Toadflax Weevils develop in the stems. Can the weevil control the plant? 1 mm Seed Adult 5 cm Seedling Rosette Egg Adult Larva Pupa ~5 mm

The small pinholes in the toadflax stems are egg scars (sites where females laid their eggs that subsequently burrowed into the stem.) The larger holes are where adult weevils likely emerged(this stem was collected in late August, two months after egg-laying)

Eggs laid per centimeter of stem on Dalmation toadflax (results from five sites found along Colorado Front Range) Egg scars per cm of stem Year

Effects of stem weevils on plant reproduction Flowers or Pods per Stem Number of egg scars per cm of stem
