What causes outbreaks of the gypsy moth in North America? (2000, background): “For example, cold winter temperatures can kill eggs (Smitley et al. 1998), or cool spring temperatures can result in poor synchrony between larval populations and host plant development (Hunter and Elkinton 2000).”
Responses of insect pests, pathogens, and invasive plant species to climate change in the forests of northeastern North America: what can we predict? (2009, background): “2006), the population dynamics of other lepidopteran defoliators are more sensitive to phenological asynchrony (Hunter and Elkinton 2000; Visser and Holleman 2001; Bale et al. 2002).”
Linking climate change and species invasion: an illustration using insect herbivores (2007, background): “Conversely, if egg hatch occurs too long after budburst foliage quality will have declined resulting in reduced fecundity (Hunter & Elkinton, 2000).”
Timing is everything? Phenological synchrony and population variability in leaf‐chewing herbivores of Quercus (2008, background): “Despite considerable evidence for the importance of synchrony of larval feeding with leaf flush from experimental studies ( Hunter, 1990; Hunter & Elkinton, 2000; Martel et al. , 2001; van Asch et al. , 2007 ), Watt and Woiwod (1999) found no evidence that species of British macro-Lepidoptera whose…”
