i5K Comments for Phratora vulgatissima
The species is a pest in willow bioenergy plantations in northern and central Europe. The beetles feed on the leaves of willow plants and population outbreaks cause plant growth reductions and economic loss. Research is being done about local adaptations to climate and day-length conditions in Europe. Populations in plantations behave differently in terms of day-length responses compared with populations from natural willow habitats. The beetles produce more generations per year in plantations. There are also latitudinal variations in seasonal adaptations to temperature and day-length. Peter Dalin
