Abstract
The observations on the imported willow leaf beetle, Plagiodera versicolora, reported in this paper summarize approximately ten years (1978–1988) of experimental laboratory and field studies investigating its life history and larval biology. In this review, some emphasis will be placed on cycloalexy (Jolivet et al., 1990) as a mechanism of group defense and on laboratory studies of larval growth and feeding efficiency on different species of host plant in the absence of predators. Promising directions for future investigations with this and related species will also be suggested.
