HOST LISTS AND KEYS FOR EACH PLANT GENUS
(in alphabetical order)
Aln-Ang
Alnus (including Duschekia) Alders | Betulaceae |
Fifty species of aphid in 24 genera are recorded as feeding on Alnus. Many of these are strictly Alnus feeders, some also feed on Betula species. A single key is provided, preceded by a list of Alnus species with their recorded aphids. On the whole the records reflect the respective distributions of aphids and host plants and there is little evidence of specificity to particular Alnus species; hence the need for a single, all-embracing key. | |
