(c) April 2006 paper properly! The purpose of the paper is to illustrate findings indicative of sucking insects as compared
with chewing insects as they relate to the way in which aboveground insects interact with the northern pocket gopher where shared plant hosts are concerned (Ostrow et al, 2002). Materials
and methods for this paper include a study population of southeastern Idaho pocket gophers, which provided a significant activity level by virtue of the multitude of winter backfill and fresh
mounds (Ostrow et al, 2002). Agricultural history of this particular site made it especially viable to test the authors hypothesis, inasmuch as vegetation was comprised of myriad southeastern Idaho-related
alien species; however, large and mature sagebrush served as the dominant flora, followed by others such as crested wheat grass, cheat grass, sunflower, prickly lettuce, salsify, alfalfa and sweet clover
(Ostrow et al, 2002). The authors utilized small enclosures in order to establish whether there had been any substantial impact upon root herbivory as evidenced by aboveground insects; as such,
gophers were not able to access the plant roots. Sixty young plants were transplanted into cylinders to monitor progress. Two-week intervals served as the timetable for quantifying insect
