Verbatim

e1

“The co-occurrence of large-leaf Buxus and floristic comparisons of the Ningming assemblage also corroborate this conclusion”

e2

“It is possible that the presence of M. buxi indicates a similar climatic condition”

“Monarthropalpus buxi”

Claim · model-written summary

The authors attribute the lack of normal attacks on B. bullata in nature to phenological timing.

Taxon

B. bullatae0

Interactor

M. buxie0pestt0

Outcome

not normally attackede0

Qualifier

different phenological timinge0

Verbatim

e0

“in nature B. bullata is not normally attacked by M. buxi because of different phenological timing as compared to the other two species that are commonly infested”
