Pathogens of Oilseed Rape Pests

Diversity of Beauveria spp. isolates from pollen beetles Meligethes aeneus in Switzerland

“…However, little is known about fungal entomopathogens infecting M. aeneus under natural conditions and only few field surveys have been performed to elucidate this interaction. In Finland a study has revealed no natural infections by fungal entomopathogens (Hokkanen et al, 1988(Hokkanen et al, , 2003, while in Switzerland 1.8% of 2139 M. aeneus adults collected in oilseed rape fields in different regions were infected by fungi (Pilz, 2005;Pilz and Keller, 2006) identified as Beauveria spp. (Ascomycota: Hypocreales).…”

Die Einzelfasermyographie, Untersuchungstechnik und Befunde

“…Einzelfasermyographisch werden neuromuskuläre Überleitungsstörungen sehr empfindlich registriert (21,56). Die Methode ist nicht spezifisch (38,56) (64).…”

The effectiveness of the Finnish EIA system — What works, what doesn't, and what could be improved?

“…Finnish EIA legislation enables collaborative planning and open public participation and in principle creates possibilities for deliberative democracy. 69 The case studies also suggest that EIA has enhanced the legitimacy of the planning processes and tools used in environmental policy. The participation of stakeholders has made planning more transparent, which has tempered power differentials and facilitated the development of democracy in general.…”

“…Instead of being a mere collecting of information, EIA allows and indeed calls for an active role also on the part of the public. 70 EIA has been, whilst not the only, probably the most visible environmental policy tool in project planning that has underlined the role of public participation.…”

“…Accordingly, all case study findings related to participation should be examined in their project context, which usually offers the most relevant explanations. 78 …”
