    Notes: A semi-quantitative electrofishing technique is described, which has applications for assessing distribution and densities of 0+ salmonids in streams. Linear regressions of logarithmically-transformed data satisfactorily described the relationship between numbers of 0+ Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) and 0+ brown trout (Salmo trutta L.) captured in a standard 5 min fishing and quantitative population estimates obtained using a commonly used method. Applications of the semi-quantitative technique to management are discussed and a categorization system proposed.

    Notes: Atlantic salmon survival in the R. Bush (N. Ireland) from egg to summer 0+ was inversely density-dependent on egg deposition (P〈0.05). A stock-recruitment relationship derived from egg deposition and summer 0+ abundance index data was compared to that derived from adult and smolt counts based on total trapping. Fitted Ricker curves indicated maximum recruitment at around 2.35 million eggs and 2.46 million eggs for 0+ index and smolt count methods, respectively. Salmon 0+ abundance index data from semi-quantitative electrofishing could be obtained with relatively little effort, and used to derive whole-river stock-recruitment relationships on rivers where only adult count or some other estimator of parental stock is available. The derivation and expression of spawning targets from stock/recruitment relationships is discussed with reference to the R. Bush data.

    Notes: Background: Pentasa is a controlled-release tablet made from semipermeable microspheres and designed to continuously deliver therapeutic quantities of 5-ASA (5-aminosalicylic acid) throughout the gastrointestinal tract. Scintigraphic studies in healthy subjects have documented that 5-ASA release could occur in the small intestine. We tested here the disintegration of Pentasa in the digestive tract of nine patients with Crohn's disease of the small intestine. Materials: Each patient was given, after breakfast, a 250 mg tablet of Pentasa containing samarium-153 oxide. For 8 h the progression of the isotope in the gastrointestinal tract was followed using gamma camera scintigraphy. Plasma measurement of 5-ASA and acetylated 5-ASA was used to verify the liberation and absorption of 5-ASA. Results: The Pentasa tablet appeared completely dissolved in the stomach by 117 ± 18 min. Samarium oxide was first detected in the small intestine 60 ± 5 min after its ingestion; it reached the colon after 280 ± 13 min and it was completely absent from the small intestine at 360 ± 26 min. Plasma concentrations of 5-ASA started to rise after 67 ± 7 min and were maximal at 222±25 min. Conclusion: In patients with Crohn's disease of the small intestine, Pentasa microgranules start releasing 5-ASA in the proximal small intestine, acting locally to exert its beneficial effect.

    Notes: The efficacy and safety of calcipotriol solution in the treatment of scalp psoriasis was compared with placebo (vehicle solution), in a multicentre double-blind, randomized, parallel-group study of 49 adult patients. Calcipotriol solution (50 μg/ml), or placebo, was applied twice daily over a 4-week period. At the end of the study period 60% of patients on calcipotriol showed clearance or marked improvement of their psoriasis compared with 17% on placebo. Overall assessment of treatment response showed that calcipotriol was superior to placebo in both investigator (P〈0.001;95% confidence interval for difference 19.0–67.6) and patient (P〈0.001; 95% confidence interval for difference 18.3–68.0) assessments. Total sign score for psoriasis (i.e. the sum of the scores for redness, thickness and scaliness) decreased by 48.9% in the calcipotriol group, and by 18.6% in the placebo group (P =0.005). Calcipotriol was significantly superior to placebo in reducing redness, thickness, scaliness and extent of psoriasis, and in the patients’assessment in reducing scalp flaking and itching.No statistically significant changes in blood biochemistry were detected during the study, and the solution was generally well tolerated.

    Notes: Abstract Rotated and non-rotated commercial potato fields were sampled intensively to follow Colorado potato beetle,Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), colonization and subsequent oviposition patterns in the spring of 1990 and 1991. Maximum densities of colonizing adults ranged from 0 to 14,891/ha and maximum egg mass densities ranged from 0 to 48,451/ha. Crop rotation generally resulted in lower potato beetle populations. Regardless of crop rotation management practices, colonization of fields planted in potatoes began at field edges and progressed inward in all fields for both years. Management of potato beetles is discussed in light of these findings.

    Notes: Abstract As previously reported, the addition of 2-undecanone to the diet of Helicoverpa (Heliothis) zea (Boddie) causes pupal mortality and deformity. These toxic effects are antagonised by the addition of the unsaturated fatty acid linolenic acid to diet, with pupal deformity eliminated and mortality reduced by as much as one-half. Similar results were obtained with two other unsaturated fatty acids, linoleic and oleic acids, but not with saturated stearic acid. These unsaturated fatty acids also increased pupal weight and developmental time. However, measurement of food consumption indicated that the effect of unsaturated fatty acids on pupal mortality is not an artifact of dilution of the fatty acid dietary dosage by an increased body size or of evaporation of 2-undecanone during prolonged larval development.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Des modèles conceptuels et mathématiques ont servi à examiner l'influence du potentiel d'ennemis naturels sur le taux d'adaptation d'herbivores à des facteurs de résistance des plantes. Les résultats montrent que les ennemis naturels peuvent augmenter ou réduire le taux d'adaptation des herbivores. Les effets spécifiques (comportementaux et physiologiques) d'un facteur de résistance sur l'herbivore, aussi bien que le comportement de l'ennemi naturel et la dynamique de population du système ennemi naturel/herbivore permettent de déterminer le niveau de l'effet des ennemis naturels sur le taux d'adaptation de l'herbivore au facteur de résistance. Une adaptation de l'herbivore à une résistance partielle à une plante est généralement envisagée comme plus lente qu'une adaptation à des hauts niveaux de résistance, même en présence d'ennemis naturels, mais il peut y avoir des exceptions.
    Notes: Abstract The potential of natural enemies to influence the rate of herbivore adaptation to resistance factors in plants is examined using conceptual and mathematical models. Results indicate that natural enemies could increase or decrease the rate of herbivore adaptation. The specific behavioral and physiological effects of a resistance factor on the herbivore, as well as the behavior of the natural enemy, and the population dynamics of the natural enemy/herbivore system are important in assessing the extent to which the natural enemies will affect the rate of herbivore adaptation to a resistance factor. Herbivore adaptation to partial resistance in a host-plant is generally expected to be slower than adaptation to high levels of resistance, even in the presence of natural enemies, if genetic variance is not limiting.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La tomate sauvage,L. hirsutum f.glabratum C.H. Mull, n0 PI134417, présente des lamelles foliaires qui lui confèrent une résistance au doryphore,L. decemlineata Say et àH. zea Bodie. Cette étude a voulu préciser si ces résistances étaient héritées ensemble dans des populations d'hybrides entre PI 134417 et la tomate cultivée,L. esculentum Mill. Des lignées de plantes présentant une gamme de résistance àH. zea ont été sélectionnées à partir d'une population hyrbide. De même, des lignées de plantes ayant une gamme de résistance àL. decemlineata ont été sélectionnées à partir d'un second groupe d'hybrides. Les réactions des 2 insectes aux 2 groupes de plantes ont été estimées. Les résistances àH. zea et àL. decemlineata n'étaient pas corrélées nettement. Certaines lignées sont résistantes aux 2 espèces, mais d'autres ne sont résistantes qu'à une espèce. Ainsi, les résistances à chacune de ces espèces ont probablement des déterminismes génétiques différents. Différentes composantes mécaniques sont vraisemblablement impliquées dans ces résistances, bien qu'il soit possible qu'au moins quelques facteurs aient un rôle important dans le conditionnement de la résistance. La création de cultivars de tomates avec une résistance liée aux lamelles foliaires sera compliquée par le besoin d'une sélection en fonction des réponses aux 2 espèces..
    Notes: Abstract Segregating populations of hybrids of the insect-resistant wild tomato,Lycopersicon hirsutum f.glabratum, C.H. Mull, PI 134417, and the susceptible tomato cultivar ofL. esculentum Mill, ‘Walter’, were screened by bioassays with the Colorado potato beetle,Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) and tomato fruitwormHeliothis zea (Boddie). Plant lines with a range of levels of resistance toH. zea were selected from one group of hybrids; plants with a range of resistance levels toL. decemlineata, from another group. The response of both insect species to both groups of plants was evaluated. Resistance to each of these species is under separate genetic control and apparently involves distinct mechanistic components, although it remains possible that at least some factors are important in conditioning resistance to both species.

    Notes: Abstract The response of male European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner) to synthetic pheromone lures containing various isomeric blends of the sex pheromone 11-tetradecenyl acetate was measured in 13 counties in North Carolina. The blends consisted of either 3% Z (‘E strain’), 97% Z (‘Z strain’), or 35% Z (‘hybrid’) 11-tetradecenyl acetate. Response to E strain lures predominated in those counties located in the Coastal Plain (east) of the state, while response to the Z strain pheromone was dominant in the west. A zone of overlap of these broad strain distributions appears to occur in the eastern Piedmont. Within this zone there was substantial response to both E and Z blends. The proportion of these responses changed considerably between generations within years as well as between years. Significantly higher capture rates in hybrid baited traps in parts of the overlap zone may be indicative of increased rates of hybridization between the E and Z strains.

    Notes: Abstract Rates of parasitism ofHelicoverpa (=Heliothis) zea (Boddie) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) by two tachinid parasitoid species differing in larviposition habits were measured in field cages on tomato plant lines with or without methyl-ketone (2-tridecanone and 2-undecanone)-mediated insect resistance. Hosts were placed on resistant or susceptible plants, exposed to parasitoids for 24–48 h, then held on artificial diet for parasitoid emergence. Rates of parasitism byArchytas marmoratus (Townsend) (Diptera: Tachinidae), which larviposits on its host's food plant, were significantly reduced on the resistant plants, relative to those on the susceptible plants. Parastism by another Tachinid,Eucelatoria bryani Sabrosky, which larviposits directly into its host and does not directly contact the foliage of its hosts' food plant as a small larva, was not affected by the methyl-ketone mediated resistance.
