AB  - Gypsy moths and powdery mildew play a significant role in oak decline
   processes. However, information is lacking on the effects on the gypsy
   moth of impaired tree vitality caused by defoliation or parasite
   infection. We assessed how pedunculate oak leaves collected from
   vigorous, declining, and infected trees influenced gypsy moth preference
   and performance (growth and nutritional indices). We found a negative
   effect of powdery mildew-infected leaves on gypsy moth performance,
   while declining trees had positive effects on gypsy moth performance and
   preference. All examined parameters of larvae fed declining oak leaves
   were higher than those of larvae fed vigorous oak leaves. Increased
   growth on declining oak leaves was caused by both higher consumption and
   more efficient food utilization. The results of this research could help
   us to better understand multitrophic interactions in complex communities
   such as oak forests.
