Abstract

I found Bagnalliella mojave Hood (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae) restricted to small, isolated Yucca brevifolia Engelmann (Liliales: Agavaceae) that likely compete less for soil moisture and have high leaf water-contents.

 

Sumario

Se encontro el trips Bagnalliella mojave Hood (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae) limitado a plantas pequeñas y aisladas de Yucca brevifolia Engelmann (Liliales: Agavaceae) que probablemente compiten menos por la humedad del suelo y tienen un alto contenido de agua en las hojas.
