Agonopterix alstroemeriana with the dry weight of the leaf. However, oviposition was not correlated positively with the concentration of alkaloids in the poison hemlock, which varies widely among individual plants. Therefore, it is difficult to predict whether increased alkaloids in the plant would increase or decrease the use of the hemlock moth as a biological control. The effects that the alkaloids in "Conium maculatum" cause on the moth, both physiologically and behaviorally, are relatively unknown. Persons interested in the biological control capabilities of "A. alstroemeriana" see behavioral dependency on the host plant as an asset when using this moth as a biological
Rockstone poison dart frog Rockstone poison dart frog The Rockstone poison dart frog ("Dendrobates nubeculosus") is a poorly known species of dendrobatid frogs endemic to Guyana. As it is known from only one specimen, very little information is currently available on "D. nubeculosus". It has been suggested to be one of the most poorly known species in the world. "D. nubeculosus" is a small to medium-sized poison dart frog; larger than many of its contemporary "Ranitomeya" species, but smaller than the other members of the genus "Dendrobates". The holotype specimen measures 2.5 centimetres in length, and the species' size range is unknown. It is
