Jd. Latin et al., NATIVE BLACK-GRASS BUGS (IRBISIA-LABOPS) ON INTRODUCED WHEATGRASSES -COMMENTARY AND ANNOTATED-BIBLIOGRAPHY (HEMIPTERA, HETEROPTERA, MIRIDAE), Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington, 97(1), 1995, pp. 90-111
The introduction of crested wheatgrasses (Agropyron spp.) into North A
merica to improve the carrying capacity of western rangelands resulted
in unanticipated increases in the population levels of native black g
rass bugs (lrbisia spp. and Labops spp.). The more than two hundred pu
blications, reports, and theses listed in this annotated bibliography
contain information on the systematics, biology, and ecology of the bu
gs and management techniques for controlling and minimizing bug damage
to these non-indigenous species of wheatgrasses.
