AB  - Temperature and food quality are the most important environmental factors determining
the performance of herbivorous insects. The objective of our study was to evaluate the responses of
the spongy moth (formerly known as the gypsy moth) [Lymantria dispar L. (Lepidoptera: Erebidae)] to
simultaneous variation in these two factors. From hatching to the fourth instar, larvae were exposed
to three temperatures (19  C, 23  C, and 28  C) and fed four artificial diets that differed in protein (P)
and carbohydrate (C) content. Within each temperature regime, the effects of the nutrient content
(P+C) and ratio (P:C) on development duration, larval mass, growth rate, and activities of digestive
proteases, carbohydrases, and lipase were examined. It was found that temperature and food quality
had a significant effect on the fitness-related traits and digestive physiology of the larvae. The greatest
mass and highest growth rate were obtained at 28  C on a high-protein low-carbohydrate diet. A
homeostatic increase in activity was observed for total protease, trypsin, and amylase in response to
low substrate levels in the diet. A significant modulation of overall enzyme activities in response
to 28  C was detected only with a low diet quality. A decrease in the nutrient content and P:C ratio
only affected the coordination of enzyme activities at 28  C, as indicated by the significantly altered
correlation matrices. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that variation in fitness traits in
response to different rearing conditions could be explained by variation in digestion. Our results
contribute to the understanding of the role of digestive enzymes in post-ingestive nutrient balancing

AB  - Botanicals, such as essential oils (EO) and their compounds, are considered a viable ecofriendly
alternative to synthetic insecticides, which threaten human health and ecosystem functioning.
In the present study, we explored the potential use of two EO compounds, trans-anethole (phenylpropanoid)
and S-(+)-carvone (monoterpene ketone), against gypsy moth larvae (GML), a serious
pest of deciduous forests and orchards. GML feeding, survival, molting, and nutritional physiology
were assessed at different compound concentrations and compared with the effects of the commercial
botanical product NeemAzal®-T/S (neem). The impact of botanicals on GML feeding was assessed
by the leaf-dipping method and showed the highest antifeeding activity of neem in the no-choice
assay. GML that were offered a choice were deterred by anethole and attracted by low concentrations
of carvone and neem. Ingestion of botanicals was more effective in inducing mortality and reducing
molting than residual contact exposure. Anethole and carvone were better toxicants but worse growth
regulators than neem. Assessing nutritional indices revealed reduced growth, consumption, and
food utilization in larvae fed on botanical-supplemented diets. The highest metabolic cost of food
processing was recorded in carvone-fed larvae, which exhibited a negative growth rate. The results
suggest that anethole and carvone might be used as control agents against GML.

AB  - The Colorado potato beetle (CPB) is a serious pest of economically important Solanaceae
species. The use of essential oil compounds in pest management has been proposed as an alternative
to harmful chemical insecticides that disturb human health and ecosystem functioning. We examined
the antifeedant activity of three concentrations (0.125%, 0.25% and 0.5%) of pure camphor and
a thujone‐camphor mixture against 3rd instar larvae and adults. Their efficacy was evaluated according
to the degree of leaf damage and avoidance of treated leaves by the CPB. Treatment of
potato leaves significantly reduced leaf damage compared to the control. Leaf protection increased
at higher concentrations of the examined compounds. Camphor was more effective against larvae
and the thujone‐camphor mixture was more effective against adults. Additionally, adults moved
faster towards the control leaf disc in the two‐choice olfactometer assay if an alternative disc was
treated with a thujone‐camphor mixture, whereas larvae responded similarly to the two potential
repellents. However, after contact with the leaf disc treated with the highest compound concentration,
the larvae escaped faster from the thujone‐camphor mixture than from pure camphor. In conclusion,
both examined compounds are promising eco‐friendly antifeedants, but their efficacy depends
on the developmental stage of the beetle, compound type and applied concentration.

AB  - Pest resistance of trees should be taken into account in future forest strategy planning and
predicting risks of defoliation. The gypsy moth (GM) (Lymantria dispar L.) is a serious forest pest
with outbreaking population dynamics. To estimate defoliation risk of the most widely distributed
tree species in Balkan Peninsula and Europe (Turkey oak Quercus cerris L., European beech Fagus
sylvatica L. and hornbeam Carpinus betulus L.), we carried out laboratory feeding trials and investigated
their acceptability and suitability for GM development. We determined morphological and
chemical attributes of these hosts as well as larval host preference, growth and nutritional indices.
Preference, growth, and efficiency of food conversion into biomass were ranked in the order: Turkey
oak > European beech > hornbeam. Hornbeam was the most avoided and showed the lowest conversion
efficiency although, comparing to optimal oak host, its leaves were less tough, contained more
water and exhibited similar values of nitrogen (index of protein content) and C/N ratio (index of
investment into carbon based plant defense). We suggest that hornbeam and beech leaf chemical
profiles should be further studied to reveal specific compounds that impose high metabolic cost
to GM larvae. Moreover, additional research are needed to understand how intermediate hosts in
natural populations affect GM outbreaks.

AB  - The gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L. (Lepidoptera: Erebidae)) is a serious pest of hardwood
forests. In the search for an environmentally safe means of its control, we assessed the impact
of different concentrations of essential oils (EOs) from the seeds of three Apiaceae plants (anise
Pimpinella anisum, dill Anethum graveolens, and fennel Foeniculum vulgare) on behavior, mortality,
molting and nutritional physiology of gypsy moth larvae (GML). EOs efficacy was compared with
commercial insecticide NeemAzal®-T/S (neem). The main compounds in the Eos were trans-anethole
in anise; carvone, limonene, and  -phellandrene in dill; and trans-anethole and fenchone in fennel
seed. At 1% EOs concentration, anise and fennel were better antifeedants and all three EOs were more
toxic than neem. Neem was superior in delaying 2nd to 3rd larval molting. In the 4th instar, 0.5%,
anise and fennel EOs decreased relative consumption rate more than neem, whereas all three EOs
were more effective in reducing growth rate, approximate digestibility and efficiency of conversion
of food into body mass leading to higher metabolic costs to GML. Decrease in consumption and
metabolic parameters compared to control GML confirmed that adverse effects of the EOs stem from
both pre- and post-ingestive mechanisms. The results indicate the potential of three EOs to be used
for gypsy moth control.

AB  - The Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), is one of the most destructive pest species to have developed resistance to most chemical insecticides. We determined the composition and evaluated the potential of Tanacetum parthenium L. and Tanacetum vulgare L. (Asteraceae family) essential oil (EO) application as an alternative eco-friendly control strategy against L. decemlineata. We assessed the antifeedant activity for L. decemlineata larvae and adults by estimating the damage to potato leaves treated with three concentrations of EOs dissolved in ethanol (0.125, 0.25 and 0.5%). Results showed that T. parthenium EO was more effective against larvae, and T. vulgare was more effective against adults. In an olfactometer assay, the time required to choose an untreated leaf disc did not depend on the Tanacetum species, or life stage examined. However, the concentration of EO exhibited a significant effect on the behaviour of both developmental stages. At higher EO concentrations, both third instar larvae and adults require less time to choose an untreated leaf disc. Additionally, T. parthenium EO provoked more rapid movement away from the treated leaf disc than T. vulgare, especially at the highest concentration. Successful modification of L. decemlineata behaviour by the two Tanacetum oils suggests that they possess the potential for use in potato protection.

AB  - Gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar L. (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) feeds on a large number of tree species, while ash, Fraxinus spp. (Lamiales: Oleaceae) species are considered resistant and are only sporadically eaten. To assess the conditions under which late instar gypsy moth larvae (GML) can temporarily use non-host common ash (CA) (F. excelsior L.), and to evaluate their ability to recover from ingestion of this toxic food, we determined the relative growth rate, the relative consumption rate and the amount of produced feces in different laboratory feeding trials. Our report is the first to show that under specific circumstances, the resources acquired after short-term consumption of CA leaves can be utilized for larval growth. We varied the intensity of density and starvation stress prior to feeding on CA leaves. We observed that after moderate stress a group of GML was temporarily capable of coping with CA leaves. Although observed growth and consumption were much lower on CA than on the optimal host oak, Quercus cerris L. (Fagales: Fagaceae), CA-oak-switched larvae showed the ability to recover from short-term use of a toxic non-host foliage. This suggests that feeding on CA might enable GML to survive under conditions of food shortage.

AB  - The gypsy moth is a generalist insect pest with an extremely wide host range. Adaptive responses of digestive enzymes are important for the successful utilization of plant hosts that differ in the contents and ratios of constituent nutrients and allelochemicals. In the present study, we examined the responses of α-amylase, trypsin, and leucine aminopeptidase to two tree hosts (suitable oak, Quercus cerris, and unsuitable locust tree, Robinia pseudoacacia) in the fourth, fifth, and sixth instars of gypsy moth larvae originating from oak and locust tree forest populations (hereafter assigned as Quercus and Robinia populations, respectively). Gypsy moths from the Robinia forest had been adapting to this unsuitable host for more than 40 generations. To test for population-level host plant specialization, we applied a two-population × two-host experimental design. We compared the levels, developmental patterns, and plasticities of the activities of enzymes. The locust tree diet increased enzyme activity in the fourth instar and reduced activity in advanced instars of the Quercus larvae in comparison to the oak diet. These larvae also exhibited opposite developmental trajectories on the two hosts, i.e. activity increased on the oak diet and decreased on the locust tree diet with the progress of instar. Larvae of the Robinia population were characterized by reduced plasticity of enzyme activity and its developmental trajectories. In addition, elevated trypsin activity in response to an unsuitable host was observed in all instar larvae of the Robinia population, which demonstrated that Robinia larvae had an improved digestive performance than did Quercus larvae.

AB  - Larvae of the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar L. (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae), a generalist species, fre-
quently encounter spatial and temporal variations in diet quality. Such variation favoured the evolu-
tion of high behavioural and physiological plasticity which, depending on forest stand composition,
enables more or less successful exploitation of the environment. Even in mixed oak stands, a suitable
habitat, interspecific and intraspecific host quality variation may provoke significant variation in
gypsy moth performance and, consequently, defoliation severity. To elucidate the insufficiently
explored relationship between gypsy moth and oaks (Fagaceae), we carried out reciprocal switches
between Turkey oaks (Quercus cerris L.) and less nutritious Hungarian oaks (Quercus frainetto Ten.)
(TH and HT groups), under controlled laboratory conditions, and compared larval performance
between the switched larvae and larvae continuously fed on either Turkey oak (TT) or Hungarian
oak (HH). We found that larval traits were most strongly affected by among-tree variation in oak
quality and identity of the host consumed during the fourth instar. Switching from Turkey to Hun-
garian oak (TH) led to a longer period of feeding, decrease of mass gain, growth, and consumption
rate, lower efficiency of food use and nutrient conversion, and increase of protease and amylase activ-
ities. Larvae exposed to the reverse switch (HT) attained values of these traits characteristic for TT lar-
vae. It appeared that the lower growth in the TH group than in the TT group was caused by both
behavioural (consumption, pre-ingestive) and metabolic (post-digestive) effects from consuming
oaks. Multivariate analyses of growth, consumption, and efficiency of food use revealed that early diet
experience influenced the sensitivity of the most examined traits to less suitable Hungarian oaks, sug-
gesting the development of behavioural and physiological adjustments. Our results indicate that
lower risks of defoliation by gypsy moth might be expected in mixed stands with a higher proportion
of Hungarian oak.

AB  - 1. Globally, vast areas of forest are currently threatened by Lymantria dispar
L. and Phytophthora species, which cause widespread declines and cascading ecological
impacts. One important aim of evolutionary and ecological studies is to understand their
interactions.
2. The present study tests whether Quercus rubra L. trees naturally infected with P.
plurivora T. Jung & T.I. Burgess or free of infection are more suitable for L. dispar
herbivory, and if relationships between L. dispar performance and herbivory may vary
depending on whether trees are infected or free of infection.
3. In choice tests, the consumed area of leaves from trees infected by P. plurivora was
four times larger than that from non-infected trees, probably because the increased values
of N, soluble protein, and water content observed in the leaves of infected trees enhanced
acceptability. Although larval performance was better in Phytophthora-infected trees,
relationships between larval performance and defoliation did not significantly interact
with the health status of trees.
4. The present results suggest that the impact of P. plurivora on natural and managed
ecosystems may generate a positive feedback loop for oak decline. The link between the
behavioural and physiological responses of L. dispar to infected trees and the population
growth in nature deserves further investigation.

four times larger than that from non-infected trees, probably because the increased values
of N, soluble protein, and water content observed in the leaves of infected trees enhanced
acceptability. Although larval performance was better in Phytophthora-infected trees,
relationships between larval performance and defoliation did not significantly interact
with the health status of trees.
4. The present results suggest that the impact of P. plurivora on natural and managed
ecosystems may generate a positive feedback loop for oak decline. The link between the
behavioural and physiological responses of L. dispar to infected trees and the population
growth in nature deserves further investigation.",

AB  - Larvae of a generalist species, the gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar), frequently encounter diet heterogeneity due to passive wind-born dispersal of 1st instar as well as host plant switching of advanced instars in mixed stands and during outbreak. Such spatial and temporal variation in nutritional environment favors their exquisite behavioral and physiological plasticity. We studied the effects of switching between Turkey (Quercus cerris) and Hungarian oak (Q. frainetto) on growth, nutritional indices and activities of protease and amylase in gypsy moth larvae. In Serbia, these oak species are often found in mixed stands where outbreaks start. Hungarian oak is less suitable host plant due to lower water and protein content. Switching from turkey to hungarian oak led to prolonged duration of 4th instar, decreased relative growth rate, relative consumption rate and efficiency of conversion of ingested food as well as increased protease and amylase activity. Values of examined traits in gypsy moth larvae switched from hungarian to turkey oak did not differ from values obtained in larvae continuously reared on turkey oak. Studying physiological plasticity of the gypsy moth in response to variation in suitable hosts are important for understanding population dynamics of this invasive species.

AB  - The  gypsy  moth,  Lymantria  dispar   (L.)  (Lepidoptera:  Lymantriidae),  causes  enormous  damage  to  broadleaved  forests  in  the  northern  hemisphere  where  it  frequently  defoliates  large  areas  of  forest.  Since  outbreaks  begin  in  oak  forests,  its  most  suitable  habitat, we determined the preference and performance of gypsy moth larvae when reared on three species of native oaks: sessile oak, Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.; Turkey oak, Q. cerris L.; and Hungarian oak, Q. frainetto
 (Ten.). Leaf expansion and selected physical and chemical characteristics of the oak leaves were also measured. The shortest development time and highest relative consumption (RCR), growth rate (RGR), assimilation efficiency (AD), efficiency of conversion of ingested food (ECI) and digested food into larval 
biomass (ECD) values were recorded when larvae were fed on Turkey oak. Two-choice tests revealed that Turkey oak is the preferred host plant. It had the highest total soluble protein and leaf nitrogen content, lowest C/N ratio and its phenology was well synchronized with the hatching of the larvae. The worst performance and lowest preference index were recorded when fed on Hungarian oak, the 
leaves of which had the lowest protein and nitrogen content, while in terms of the values for preference and performance the larvae fed on sessile oak were intermediate. Our results indicate that forests with Turkey oak are highly likely to be defoliated by gypsy moth larvae and therefore should be regularly monitored.

AB  - Photosynthetic performance of seedlings of Quercus robur exposed to short-term water stress in the laboratory conditions was assessed through the method of induced fluorometry. The substrate for seedlings was clayey loam, with the dominant texture fraction made of silt, followed by clay and fine sand, with total porosity 68.2%. Seedlings were separated in two groups: control (C) (soil water regime in pots was maintained at the level of field water capacity) and treated (water-stressed, WS) (soil water regime was maintained in the range of wilting point and lentocapillary capacity). The photosynthetic efficiency was 0.642±0.25 and 0.522±0.024 (WS and C, respectively), which was mostly due to transplantation disturbances and sporadic leaf chlorosis. During the experiment Fv/Fm decreased in both groups (0.551±0.0100 and 0.427±0.018 in C and WS, respectively). Our results showed significant differences between stressed and control group, in regard to both observed parameters (Fv/Fm and T½). Photosynthetic efficiency of pedunculate oak seedlings was significantly affected by short-term water stress, but to a lesser extent than by sufficient watering.
AB  - U radu je analizirana fotosintetička efikasnost sadnica Quercus robur, izloženih kratkotrajnom vodnom stresu u laboratorijskim uslovima, metodom indukovane fluorimetrije. Kao supstrat za gajenje sadnica korišćena je glinovita ilovača, čiju je dominantnu teksturnu frakciju činio prah, zatim glina pa sitan pesak; totalne poroznosti 68,2%. Sadnice su bile podeljene u dve grupe: S (kontrolna grupa, kod kojih je vodni režim supstrata u saksijama održavan na nivou poljskog vodnog kapaciteta) i WS (grupa izložena vodnom stresu, kod kojih je vodni režim supstrata održavan između tačke venjenja i lentokapilarnog kapaciteta). Fotosintetička efikasnost iznosila je 0,642±0,258 kod kontrolnih sadnica, odnosno 0,522±0,0243 kod izloženih vodnom stresu, što je uglavnom bilo uzrokovano poremećajima izazvanim presađivanjem kao i pojavi hloroze na listovima. Tokom eksperimenta, vrednost Fv/Fm se smanjila u obe grupe sadnica (0,551±0,0100 kod C, odnosno 0,427±0,018 kod WS). U oba merenja utvrđene su statistički značajne razlike između stresirane i kontrolne grupe sadnica u pogledu ispitivanih parametara. Izlaganje sadnica hrasta lužnjaka kratkotrajnom vodnom stresu imalo je značajan uticaj na smanjenje fotosintetičke efikasnosti sadnica, ali u manjoj meri nego izlaganje sadnica obilnom zalivanju.

AB  - Insect growth and development depend on nutritive value and secondary metabolite content of their host plants. This influence may be exerted through changing the activity of digestive enzymes which further affects efficiency of conversion of ingested food. This paper represents the results of investigation of feeding effects on the leaves of three oak species (Quercus cerris, Q. robur and Q. petraea) on growth, development and digestive enzyme activities of the 4th instar gypsy moth larvae (Lymantria dispar L.). Compared to larvae fed on Q. cerris and Q. robur leaves, larvae fed on Q. petrea exhibited the lowest body mass, midgut protein content and specific protease activity. Specific amylase activity was significantly reduced in the midguts of larvae fed on Q. robur while host plant did not affect larval duration upon molting into the 4th instar. Concomitant chemical analyses of leaves given to the 2nd and 4th instar larvae was carried out in order to explain the obtained results.
