47. In Rocky Mountain National Park, all expanded thistle flowerheads on a plant were scored by J.C. in August 1996 as no, partial, or complete seed destruction with or without R. conicus. In Mesa Verde and Wind Cave National Parks, flowerheads that exerted flowers were collected, measured, and dissected by D.K. in 1992 and 1994-96 for C. undulatum and in 1992 and 1996 for C. pulchellum. Head diameter and numbers of R. conicus oviposition scars, pupal cells, larvae, pupae, adults, other insects, and viable and damaged seeds were recorded. In The Nature Conservancy's Sandhills prairie preserves (Arapaho Prairie, Arthur County, NE, and Niobrara Valley, Brown County, NE), flowerheads of C. canescens and C. undulatum that exerted a floret were collected, measured, and dissected. Damage to the receptacle and numbers of insects, damaged and undamaged florets, and seeds were recorded.

51. Population growth of R. conicus on C. canescens was exponential from 1993 to 1996 (S. M. Louda, in preparation).
