This research will test the effects of previous folivory on             subsequent folivorous insect species via alterations in the                     shared host plant, particularly alterations in phenology.                       Specific factors hypothesized to influence such interactions,                   including extent of folivory (partial vs. complete consumption of               leaves), amount of partial damage an dits effect on the third                   trophic level (natural enemies), timing of folivory and long-term               effects of folivory, will be examined.  These factors will be                   tested in a series of observations and manipulative experiments                 involving leafchewers (early-season feeders) and leafminers                     (late-season feeders) on the Emory oak, Ouercus emoryi.                         Preliminary evidence suggests such factors can change the outcome               of interactions between seasonal folivores, and thus influence                  population dynamics and organization of folivorous insect                       communities.                                                                            The project will quanfify phenological and chemical changes             associated with varying folivory and their effects on                           colonization, local extinction, survival, causes of mortality,                  and fecundity of the leafmiing species on Emory oak.  Although                  accumulating evidence indicates that plants change following                    folivory, the precise effects on subsequent insect species are                  equivocal.  Yet such information is crucial in unerstanding how                 plant-mediated interactions influence population dynamics and                   organization of folivorous insect species sharing host plants.
