Abstract Purpose of Review Climate change affects populations of forest insect pests in a
number of ways. We reviewed the most recent literature (2013–2017) on this subject …

The distribution of species is primarily driven by the availability of trophic resources. In a
given forest type, insects trophically related to the dominant tree are expected to be evenly …

Silviculture is the art and science of managing forest stands to meet landowner goals and
objectives (see Box 20.1); traditional examples of goals and objectives include managing for …

Climate change and the underlying causal factors have been thoroughly described (Field et
al. 2014). Climate change, particularly increased temperature, has several consequences …

The mountain birch [Betula pubescens var. pumila (L.)] forest in the Subarctic is periodically
exposed to insect outbreaks, which are expected to intensify due to climate change. To …

Specialized natural enemies have long been used to implement the biological control of
invasive insects. Although research tracking populations following biological control …

Climate change is one of many ongoing human-induced environmental changes, but few
studies consider interactive effects between multiple anthropogenic disturbances. In coastal …

Current theory holds that the intensity of biotic interactions decreases with increases in
latitude and elevation; however, empirical data demonstrate great variation in the direction …

Invasive insects increasingly affect forested landscapes and have important ecological and
economic impacts. My dissertation focuses on population dynamics of winter moth …

The ericoid shrub Vaccinium myrtillus is one of several deciduous boreal plants that respond
to larval defoliation by compensatory production of a new set of leaves within the same …
