- Abstract
The article presents a study of ecological risk assessment to endangered Pitcher's thistle plant (Cirsium pitcheri) in North America from weevil Rhinocyllus conicus. It highlights the hypothesis which quantify the specificity and possible phenological convergence among insects and plants. It also outlines their interactions, demography and nontarget effects.
