We collected leaf litter from the home ranges of colonies by removing all decomposing leaves, twigs, seeds, seed pods, and organic material, though we did not collect wooden debris.
147 (3) trunks, (4) boughs and branches (> 1 cm diameter), (5) foliage (leaves and twigs, < 1 cm diameter), (6) lichens and mosses, (7) flowers, (8) fruits, (9) seed-containing inflorescences.
When the respondent persisted in his unwillingness to adhere to the contract by delivering twigs and wet branches instead of high-quality wood the court was approached again.
The increase in leaf number o n t he tagged twigs during a particular month was considered leaf flush, and the decrease in the leaf number represented leaf fall.
The females of several pine bast scales share a habit of locating inside the bark of tree trunks or twigs, which might be explained as a way of predator evasion.
The samples were oven-dried at 70o for 72 h, after sorting into two fractions: leaves and miscellaneous (leaf fragments, reproductive parts and twigs with diameter < 1 cm) and weighed.
From each tree, two 20 cm twigs (c. 3-5 mm in diameter), each bearing at least ten leaves, were selected from the middle canopy (c. 1.5 m high).
Diameters of branches and twigs were measured as traversed by a randomly positioned 2-m-length straight-line transect marked out with string.
