Abstract
Birds, mainly the hair woodpecker, attacked 712 of a thousand ears examined, usually having drilled through the husks to reach the larvae. In 345 of the 1000 ears, kernel injury had probably been prevented by birds which attacked and removed the larvae before the latter had penetrated far enough into the ears to reach the kernels.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
