Abstract: The INTEX-project is an interdisciplinary approach to combine agricultural research and farming system development. In focus are two of the current farming systems: a) conventional farming, according to "Good Farming Practice" (three course rotation, inversion tillage); b) Integrated Farming System (four course rotation, flexible inversion or non-inversion tillage). Field size and crop management are according to practical demands. All crops of the rotation are established in every year. Starting in 1990, presently at least two cycles of the rotations are completed. During 9 years experimental time, populations of Galium aparine were monitored. Populations showed similar behaviour in Good Farming Practice and in Integrated Farming. Despite of higher densities during the first rotation in Integrated Farming, abundance of cleavers decreased again with course of time. The occurrence of the perennial weed Cirsium arvense was mapped in three successive years on two single fields of each farming system. Number of Cirsium-patches increased in winter barley and were suppressed again in the following oilseed rape. Again there was only a slight difference between the two farming systems. Using a geometrical "available area"-approach, the population changes could be tested statistically. This on-farm study showed that integrated weed management in farming systems can be maintained in the long term. Weed problems must not be worse than in conventional farming. Problems and perspectives of studying weeds in a field scale versus plot experiments are discussed.

Abstract: Clopyralid applied to Canada thistle rosettes has provided better control in the following growing season than applications to bolted plants. The objectives of this research were to determine if using cultivation to prevent plants from bolting prior to herbicide application (the rosette technique) could be successfully incorporated into a row crop production system and to evaluate the effect of Canada thistle growth stage on the absorption and translocation of 14C-clopyralid. Canada thistle control 8 mo after postharvest herbicide treatment (MAFT) using the rosette technique was similar to control when using conventional in-crop plus postharvest herbicide treatments in corn and soybean. Glyphosate and clopyralid plus 2,4-D were the most consistent postharvest herbicide treatments for Canada thistle control 8 MAFT in corn and soybean. Corn yields were similar, but soybean yields were slightly lower when Canada thistle was controlled using cultivation compared to conventional herbicide treatments. 14C-clopyralid translocation to Canada thistle roots and lower shoot parts was greater when clopyralid was applied to the rosette stage than when applied to bolted Canada thistle plants. The increased translocation probably accounts for the increased Canada thistle control observed in the field. Incorporating the rosette technique into a weed management program should allow growers to control Canada thistle with less herbicide input than do standard practices.

Abstract: Two auxotrophic mutant strains of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum were tested in the greenhouse for pathogenicity on Cirsium arvense (Californian thistle) with and without amino acid amendments. An arginine auxotrophic mutant, with an amendment of the amino acid, followed an identical disease progress curve to that of the wild strain of the pathogen from which it was derived. However, when deprived of the amino acid amendment it was still highly pathogenic. A leucine auxotrophic mutant demonstrated poor pathogenicity without a leucine amendment, but improved pathogenicity with the addition of the amino acid. However, both of these treatments were inferior to the two wild strains tested and the arginine auxotroph with and without amendments. A field experiment was conducted on C. arvense stems in permanent pasture to compare the pathogenicity of amended auxotrophic strains and wild strains of S. sclerotiorum applied as a granule in a wheat-based carrier. The two wild strains gave significant reductions in thistle cover within 3 months of treatment, and subsequent reductions in thistle stem height and density during the following season. There was no evidence that the auxotrophic strains reduced thistle cover in the season the treatments were applied, but they did reduce subsequent stem density in the following spring. To determine disease carry-over associated with the wild and auxotrophic strains of the pathogen, rape was planted into subplots over the next three consecutive seasons. Despite substantial populations of sclerotia being present in the soil, especially in the first season after treatment of the thistles, no disease of rape caused by S. sclerotiorum was detected over the three seasons in any of the plots. Sclerotium populations of S. sclerotiorum in the soil declined by over 50% between 20 and 32 months after treatment, but there was no decline over the subsequent 12 months. The trial demonstrated that the auxotrophic strains were less field fit compared with the wild strains and that the presence of inoculum and a susceptible host to S. sclerotiorum were not the only prerequisites for disease development. It was concluded that use of a trap crop following treatment is not a suitable method for determining the risk of using this pathogen as a mycoherbicide in pasture.

Abstract: The effect of reduced water availability on glyphosate efficacy and adventitious shoot growth in male and female clones of Canada thistle was studied. Water availability was regulated with polyethylene glycol (PEG) in hydroponically grown plants or by withholding water from soil-grown plants. In hydroponic media, there was 50% more adventitious shoot growth from male plants than from female plants. Both PEG and foliarly applied glyphosate reduced the number of adventitious shoots, regardless of gender. In soil, the same number of adventitious shoots formed on untreated male and female plants. However, when glyphosate was applied to plants growing under dry conditions, there was 75% more adventitious shoot growth from males than females. Distribution of glyphosate was similar in male and female plants. Approximately 23% of applied 14C-glyphosate was transported throughout Canada thistle plants within 10 d of treatment regardless of gender or moisture condition. Gender differences in capacity for vegetative reproduction may alter the sex ratio of Canada thistle populations in the field following glyphosate application.

Abstract: Leaf-feeding beetles, Altica carduorum, from a population in NW China have been identified as candidate agents for biocontrol of Canada thistle, Cirsium arvense. This paper assesses the potential of beetles from this population to establish on the Canadian prairies. A phenological model is applied to determine where sufficient heat accumulates to allow completion of at least one generation per year. The model was applied both with and without a submodel of adult thermoregulation. The model was driven using meteorological data from a grid covering the agricultural region of the Canadian prairies, i.e. ca. 670 000 km2, at a resolution of ltoreq (50 X 50) km. In each grid square, the percentage of the years 1960-89 for which the model indicated that at least one generation could have been completed was calculated; these proportions were categorized (0-80%; 80-99% and 100%) and mapped. Maps of C. arvense density over the simulation region were also produced, and compared to the maps of predicted beetle distribution. The model suggests that A. carduorum could establish over much of the prairies. Without thermoregulation, the predicted range (i.e. the area in which one generation was completed in every year) is restricted to the warmer parts of the prairies, where C. arvense is generally sparse. Inclusion of thermoregulation almost doubled the predicted range to cover most of the range of C. arvense on the Canadian prairies, missing only the cooler peripheral areas. These results suggest that this strain of A. carduorum has potential to overlap the range of C. arvense on the Canadian prairies, and so has potential to control this weed.

Abstract: As the first step of developing a bioherbicide the mycobiota of C. arvense, C. incanum and C. setosum over the territory of the European part of Russia was studied. In 1994-1996 field surveys were carried out in Krasnodar, Rostov, Saratov, Voronezh, Tambov, Belgorod, Novgorod, Leningrad and some other regions of Russia. More than 150 specimens were collected, 70 strains of phytopathogenic fungi were isolated in pure culture, of which 28 species were identified. Complexes of pathogens were detected. In addition the studies on culturing and confirmation of pathogenicity of some fungi were carried out. As a result of the field surveys (visual assessment of occurrence and disease level), cultural studies and inoculation tests (high spore production and pathogenicity), the fungus, S. cirsii has been chosen for future investigations as a potential bioherbicide for controlling C. arvense and the allied Cirsium species.

Abstract: Comparison of eriophyid mites occurring on Cirsium arvense (L.) over two growing seasons showed two forms of females which were previously called separate species Aceria? anthocoptes (Nalepa, 1892) and Aceria leonthodontis (Lindroth, 1904). According to our data, two forms of females belong to one species Aceria anthocoptes (Nal.). Males studied during the whole growing season had the characteristics similar to protogynes. Damages caused by both forms were the same. In the middle of the season transitional forms between protogynes and deutogynes were often found.

Abstract: Candidate weed biocontrol agents must be screened to exclude those that could threaten desirable plants. Traditionally, this has been done by rejecting species that develop on economically important plants in laboratory no-choice tests. However, because congeneric plants often support development in these tests, even when they are not utilized in nature, the tests do not meet legislated requirements for rare plant species or the increasing public concern for native plants. Plant suitability for larval development is a poor predictor of host range because insects use a sequence of steps in which the early steps, such as host finding and acceptance for oviposition, tend to be stronger than the later ones, such as suitability for development. This study is a trial of a new approach to screening insects as weed biocontrol agents that uses risk analysis to quantify the suitability of a plant as a host on the basis of inset performance at various stages in its life cycle. The insects used for the study was a NW Chinese biotype of the leaf beetle, Altica carduorum, which in terms of climate adaptation and damage it inflicts on the weedy thistle Cirsium arvense, is a promising biocontrol agent for Canada. However, its ability to develop on all North American Cirsium spp. in laboratory no-choice tests currently excludes its release. We show by risk and factor-analyses, with five sequential host-selection parameters, that the suitability of these thistles to A. carduorum is so low that the beetle would not jeopardize the continued existence of rare native thistles, so its release should not be a problem.

Abstract: The occurrence of Cirsium arvense L. within a sugarbeet field site was completely recorded using intensity classes. By fourier analysis as a tool for characterizing large scale variability, we detected a periodic spatial structure. Small scale variability was characterized by variograms providing information about the spatial autocorrelation structure. Using the information of the results of these procedures, monitoring plans were suggested. Based on the data at reduced sampling points, we performed a reestimation of the original data set by Kriging and evaluated the correspondence. As data base for the various procedures, we used intensity classes as well as class centers. The results were compared.

Abstract: The undisturbed growth and regenerative capacity of the root system of Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop. were studied in one glasshouse and one field experiment. In the glasshouse experiment, two lengths of root fragment from the same clone, previously grown at two nitrogen levels, were planted in boxes. Plants that developed from these fragments were inspected on eight occasions to assess their undisturbed development and growth, above and below ground, and their regenerative capacity after disturbance by burial at different points of development. The initial nitrogen content of the roots had no effect on growth measurements, but longer root fragments produced greater masses of primary shoots, new roots and shoots from the new roots than did shorter ones. After disturbance at early stages (4-7 leaves with a minimum length of 5 cm), plants originating from shorter root fragments did not regrow at all. Plants originating from longer root fragments exhibited a minimum regenerative capacity when disturbed at the eight-leaf stage. In the field experiment, root fragments of length 12 cm, from the same clone, were planted in October 1991 at 5 cm or 20 cm depth. Plants that developed from these fragments were studied on 12 occasions, from April to July 1992. Plants emerging from a depth of 20 cm reached a point of positive net assimilation 28 days (380 day degrees) later than those developing from a depth of 5 cm. The plants exhibited a minimum regenerative capacity when their primary shoots had, on average, 10 (plants from 5-cm root fragments) or seven (plants from 20-cm root fragments) expanded leaves.

Abstract: In this review the available information on the sexual reproduction of Cirsium arvense L. (Scop.) is summarized and discussed in an ecological context. Certain aspects of its sexual reproduction system have given C. arvense a reputation for low efficiency: the dioecious mating system and dependence on insects for pollination and non-adaptive features for wind dispersal. The seeds are moderately persistent in soil and, for a temperate weed, have a high temperature requirement for germination. It is concluded that the contribution that sexual reproduction makes to the survival and spread of this species has been underestimated, partly owing to an inadequate number of studies. Seedling recruitment via sexual reproduction may be an important mechanism for initiating continued genetic diversity at intra- and inter-population levels.

Abstract: Traditionally, insects are not approved for release in North America as agents for the biological control of weeds if the larvae complete development on desirable plants in no-choice tests. This criterion excludes the use of the leaf-feeding beetle Altica carduroum Guer. since it can complete development on all Cirsium spp., including rare North American species, although in nature it is only known from the target weed Cirsium arvense. Host suitability is the result of a sequence of selection factors, and this study shows that most discrimination between thistle species is the result of host finding and egg production, and not larval developmental ability. In no-choice tests, the larvae completed development on 18 Cirsium species in five sections of the genus that were tested and on Silybum marianum, but not on other genera in the tribe Cardueae or more distantly related Asteraceae. The adult food consumption on C. arvense was two to eight times greater than on other Cirsium species, many of which, such as C. pitcheri and C. drummondii, received no feeding by over 50% of the beetles in the first 24 h. The best North American thistle for egg production was C. scariosum, but this was only 28% of that on C. arvense. The preference for C. arvense in multiple-choice tests increased with the size of the arena. In the largest, an area of 6 ml, 80% of the beetles and eggs were found on C. arvense and none were found on plants outside the subtribe Carduineae. Thus, as theory predicts, host discrimination between thistle species takes place at earlier stages than suitability for larval development, and this should be considered when determining the safety of candidate agents.

Abstract: The biotype of the defoliating beetle, Altica carduorum, from Wusu Xinjiang, China was studied as a biocontrol agent for Cirsium arvense in Canada. At Wusu, the beetle is particularly damaging to C. arvense in irrigated crops and fallow fields. A release of 300 adult A. carduorum at Urumqi, Xinjiang, dispersed to cover an area with a radius of 600 m by the following year, where it destroyed almost 60% of C. arvense leaves and resulted in plant wilting at a density of 4.5 beetles/plant. Laboratory studies of the beetle's development of 2 degree C intervals from 15 to 27 degree C identified the optimum developmental temperature as 25.5 degree C. Beetles reared at this temperature laid an average of 245 eggs, with a 41-fold generation increase. Habitat comparisons between biotypes of A. carduorum from Wusu and Europe suggest that the Wusu biotype may be better suited as a biocontrol agent of C. arvense on the Canadian prairies.

Abstract: Altica carduorum Guer. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) populations aggregate on vigorously growing stands of its host, the thistle Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop. (Asteraceae). The beetle needs contact to recognize a Cirsium species and biting to distinguish its host C. arvense. Feeding or mechanical damage on C. arvense, but not other Cirsium species, aggregates the beetles. Also feces from feeding on C. arvense, but not other Cirsium species, aggregates the opposite sex. Adults also aggregate on larval feces. We suggest that initial host location in the spring depends on random encounter by beetles overwintering in a stand of C. arvense. The beetles commonly make short flights after feeding and either land on another C. arvense plant, which establishes a secondary aggregation centre, or return to the original one. In this manner beetles released on a stand of C. arvense in China spread a radius of 600 m in a year, but those released 35 m away from their host failed to find it. Altica carduorum will develop on any Cirsium species to which it is confined, but is monophagous in the field because host finding is dependent on aggregation to wound and feces substances that are specific to C. arvense.

Abstract: Response of Canada thistle, Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop., to density of Cassida rubiginosa Muller (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), a defoliator, and plant competition from a combination of tall fescue, Festuca arundinacea Schreb., a grass, and crownvetch, Coronilla varia L., a legume, was determined in a 2-year field study. Both C. rubiginosa and plant competition significantly reduced biomass and survival of Canada thistle. In both years, C. rubiginosa had a greater detrimental effect on the thistles than plant competition. When there were significant plant competition effects, thistle biomass and survival were consistently higher in treatments without plant competition at all densities of C. rubiginosa tested. With 20 C. rubiginosa per plant (introduced to 12- to 15-cm-diameter rosettes), less than one-third of the planted thistles survived at the end of the season. As growth of crownvetch was slow, tall fescue provided Canada thistle with the primary source of plant competition. Treatments without plant competition produced more dicots (excluding Canada thistle) than treatments with plant competition, indicating the added advantage of tall fescue and crownvetch in keeping out other nondesirable vegetation as Canada thistle is suppressed. This study demonstrates that long-term control of Canada thistle is achievable with C. rubiginosa and plant competition.

Title: The role of allelopathy in buckwheat (Fagopyrum sagittatum) inhibition of Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense).

Abstract: A replacement series experiment was conducted in the field to quantify the interaction between Canada thistle and buckwheat, and to determine if allelopathy was the mechanism of interference. Plant biomass data indicated that buckwheat only responded to intraspecific competition and not interspecific competition from Canada thistle. Canada thistle responded to interspecific competition from buckwheat plants but not to intraspecific competition. The absence of one of the interspecific competition components (no measurable effect of Canada thistle density on buckwheat) indicates that the value for niche differentiation is probably greater than unity, signifying that there is no mutual antagonism between buckwheat and Canada thistle. Because allelopathy is one mechanism that causes mutual inhibition, data do not support the hypothesis that buckwheat interferes with Canada thistle by allelopathy.

Abstract: The adventitious shoots in three populations of Cirsium arvense in sheep-grazed pastures were treated in October (spring) 1991 with a mycelium/wheat formulation of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and the fates of mapped shoots were followed over the growing season. In untreated plots, deaths through natural causes were compensated for by births (emergence of new shoots above the soil) throughout the growing season, but, on plots treated with S. sclerotiorum deaths from the induced disease exceeded births for 35 days following treatment, causing the shoot population to decline markedly. Disease-induced deaths occurred only among shoots present at the time of treatment; there was no evidence of transfer of the pathogen to shoots emerging after the treatment was applied. A life-table analysis showed that only 8% of the adventitious shoots emerging during the growing season survived to seeding on treated plots, compared with 28% on the untreated plots; most mortalities occurred in shoots at the vegetative stage of development. The dry mass of propagative roots in autumn was reduced to 35% of that on the untreated plots by the pathogen and the density of shoots emerging the following spring was reduced to a similar extent. The results of this study indicate that S. sclerotiorum has potential as a mycoherbicide for C. arvense in sheep-grazed pasture in New Zealand.

Abstract: The combined influence of plant competition and defoliation on development of Canada thistle was investigated in a 2-yr field study. Plant competition was induced by seeding tall fescue and crown vetch. Artificial defoliation was used to simulate various levels of leaf removal by insects. Both defoliation and induced competition reduced biomass of Canada thistle but their impact varied with environmental conditions. Defoliation had a greater detrimental influence than induced competition on thistle biomass in a dry year when growth of the plant competitors was suppressed. In a wet year, induced competition was more important in suppressing Canada thistle than defoliation, and moderate levels of defoliation (25%), applied once when the thistles were 12 to 15 cm in diam, stimulated root weight within the top 20 cm of soil. Reduction in thistle biomass increased with level of defoliation and was greatest when defoliation was applied repeatedly at 14-d intervals in the presence of induced competition. Crown vetch showed very little growth in one season and tall fescue was the primary source of competition for the thistles. The results confirm the hypothesis that combined stresses can substantially reduce biomass development of Canada thistle plants.

Abstract: A method is presented to test clones of Cirsium arvense for resistance to root bud infection by the rust fungus Puccinia punctiformis. Root buds were stained and cleared to detect mycelium of the rust. The fraction of root buds infected was determined and used as a measure of resistance. Clones of C. arvense, collected from three sites, were tested for resistance to infection. Variation in resistance was determined between and within sites. The results are discussed with a view to using P. punctiformis to control C. arvense.

Abstract: The impact of the pathogenic rust fungus Puccinia punctiformis on the population dynamics of the clonal host plant Cirsium arvense was studied using field data and a matrix population model. To account for the spatial growth pattern of C. arvense, the study area was divided into cells of 10 x 10 cm. The cells were classified as empty (no C. arvense shoots), diseased (shoots infected by P. punctiformis), or healthy. The spatial growth pattern of C. arvense could be described as static or dynamic. Abundance of C. arvense depended largely on dynamic clonal growth. Shoots produced by dynamic clonal growth had a lower probability to be infected by P. punctiformis than shoots produced by static clonal growth. Dynamic clonal growth seemed to serve as a mechanism of disease escape. The results are discussed with respect to the use of P. punctiformis as biological agent for control of C. arvense in grasslands.

Abstract: Canada thistle control in no-tillage corn was studied in Western Maryland from 1990 to 1992. The best treatment at planting for controlling Canada thistle was a tank mixture of 2240 g/ha glyphosate plus 560 g/ha 2,4-D. Clopyralid applied at 210 and 280 g/ha alone and 106 g/ha tank mixed with 560 g/ha 2,4-D effectively controlled Canada thistle in no-tillage corn (85 to 96%). Nicosulfuron applied at 35 g/ha and 20 or 40 g/ha primisulfuron suppressed Canada thistle (59 to 75%). Tank mixtures of nicosulfuron or primisulfuron with 2,4-D or dicamba generally increased Canada thistle control (75 to 87%) compared with control by these herbicides applied alone. Treatments that controlled Canada thistle generally increased corn yields compared with the weedy controls. Yield increases were most dramatic in 1991 when precipitation was low.

Abstract: Sclerotinia sclerotiorum was grown on solid substrates based on kibbled (cracked) wheat and pine sawdust with various additives to examine its potential as a mycoherbicide against Californian thistle (Cirsium arvense). Mycelial growth was vigorous on wheat but very weak on sawdust. Growth was only marginally slower on a substrate of equal weights of wheat and sawdust than on wheat. The addition of vegetable oil to the substrates did not enhance the basic growth rates. The subsequent growth out of the fungus-infested particles into pure culture was faster from wheat than from sawdust particles in the wheat plus sawdust mixture substrate. The rate of lesion development on excised leaves of Californian thistle inoculated with these substrates reflected these differences. Neither vegetable oil nor oxalic acid as additives, increased the speed of infection or rate of lesion development. When plants of C. arvense were inoculated in the glasshouse, the mycelium-infested sawdust plus wheat substrate gave slower disease development than the wheat substrate. Increasing the length of the dew period caused faster disease development, especially in the sawdust plus wheat substrate. These results suggest S. sclerotiorum will require a suitable energy source and free moisture when used as a mycelium-based mycoherbicide.

Abstract: In eight of nine trials spanning 5 yr, relative yield of semidwarf hard red spring wheat (yield expressed as a percent of estimated weed-free yield) decreased linearly as Canada thistle shoot density increased when measured in late July to early August in the northern Great Plains. Differences between yield loss assessment (YLA) equations could not be distinguished statistically between no-tillage and chisel-plowed production systems. Multiple linear regression equations of relative wheat yield versus wheat density plus Canada thistle shoot density accounted for more variability in YLA equations than simple linear regression equations of wheat yield versus Canada thistle shoot density alone. Estimated weed-free wheat yield and negative slope (b) for yield loss assessment equations increased as cumulative growing-season (April to August) rainfall increased. Thus, relative wheat yield was decreased more by increasing Canada thistle density (slope b became more negative) in years of greater growing-season rainfall.

Abstract: Under field conditions, more photoassimilate moved to roots of Canada thistle at the bolt than at the bud, flower, or postflower stages. Similarly, greater photoassimilate accumulated in roots of Canada thistle in the greenhouse at the rosette and bolt than at the flower bud stage. Growth chamber experiments indicated that environmental conditions typical of fall, and possibly early spring, favored photoassimilate movement to the root and superseded growth stage control of assimilate partitioning. Allocation of assimilate within the root was strongly influenced by growth stage, with most assimilate being utilized for growth at the rosette stage and for fructan reserves in bolt and flower bud stages.

Abstract: Stress caused by two biocontrol agents on their weed host Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop., Asteraceae) was investigated. The combined attack of the gall-fly Urophora cardui (L.) (Diptera: Tephritidae) and the stem-mining weevil Ceutorhynchus litura (F.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) caused a significant reduction in the vigour of the attacked plants as measured by the number of live buds in the 1st year and by the dry weight of the roots in the 3rd year. The attacks did not significantly reduce the number of aborted buds, mature seed heads, and new shoots, nor the combined dry weight of the leaves, stems, and galls as compared with Canada thistle plants that had not been galled or mined, in any of the 3 years. Non-structural carbohydrate content of the roots of attacked shoots was found significantly reduced only at the end of the mining period.

Pretreatment with a stimulatory thistle root extract sometimes increased infection. Inoculation of dormant buds was the most effective way to induce infection of root cuttings. Aqueous soil extracts from potted Canada thistle plants stimulated teliospore germination. The active component in the soil was soluble in hexane, volatile, and was similar in nature to the hexane extract of stream-distilled Canada thistle roots. Optimum temperature range for stimulated teliospore germination on 1% agar was 16-20 C at 7 days.

Abstract: Ceutorhynchus litura dispersed 9 km in 15 yr from its point of release in 1972 with incident of infestation of Canada thistle plants at one study site reaching 92% in 1987. Plants generally survived larval feeding in the spring, but holes created by departing larvae provided entrances for arthropods, nematodes, and diseases. Subsequent mortality rates were high for belowground Canada thistle shoots. However, the number of new shoots from underground roots the following spring usually offset the mortality that had been indirectly caused by C. litura .

Abstract: Four aphid species (Aphis fabae cirsiiacanthoidis Scop., Brachycaudus cardui (L.), Capitophorus carduinus Walker and Uroleucon cirsii (L.)) feed on the creeping thistle Cirsium arvense . They utilize different parts of their host plant and at different times. A wide niche is typical of C. carduinus and U. cirsii , whereas A. f. cirsiiacanthoidis and B. cardui , show narrower but overlapping niches. Morphological features such as stylet length and body size as well as colony size and density are associated with the choice of feeding site. C. carduinus , the smallest species with the shortest stylets was able to use leaf veins and lamina, while the other species mainly used the stem and peduncles. Within this group, A. f. cirsiiacanthoidis and B. cardui are restricted to the upper part of the stem because of their short stylets, but adult U. cirsii , the species with the longest stylets, can also feed at the base of the stem.
