“…To what extent this influences host plant acceptability and insect performance is largely unknown, although the relationship between provenance and insect damage susceptibility is well established for forest trees (Day, Leather & Lines, 1991;Xie, Johnstone & Ying, 1995). In insect-pollinated plants, particularly those pollinated by far-ranging insects such as bumblebees, efficient pollination may limit genetic diversification along altitudinal transects (Bingham & Ranker, 2000).…”

Terrestrial insects along elevation gradients: species and community responses to altitude

The literature on the response of insect species to the changing environments experienced along altitudinal gradients is diverse and widely dispersed. There is a growing awareness that such responses may serve as analogues for climate warming effects occurring at a particular fixed altitude or latitude over time. This review seeks, therefore, to synthesise information on the responses of insects and allied groups to increasing altitude and provide a platform for future research. It focuses on those functional aspects of insect biology that show positive or negative reaction to altitudinal changes but avoids emphasising adaptation to high altitude per se. Reactions can be direct, with insect characteristics or performance responding to changing environmental parameters, or they can be indirect and mediated through the insect's interaction with other organisms. These organisms include the host plant in the case of herbivorous insects, and also competitor species, specific parasitoids, predators and pathogens. The manner in which these various factors individually and collectively influence the morphology, behaviour, ecophysiology, growth and development, survival, reproduction, and spatial distribution of insect species is considered in detail. Resultant patterns in the abundance of individual species populations and of community species richness are examined. Attempts are made throughout to provide mechanistic explanations of trends and to place each topic, where appropriate, into the broader theoretical context by appropriate reference to key literature. The paper concludes by considering how montane insect species will respond to climate warming.

“…It has previously been shown that SLP and KLP provenances of lodgepole pine sustained higher damage levels by Z. diniana than other provenances in a natural field situation and that damage levels correlated with the altitude of the provenance's geographical origin ( D ay et al, 1991 ). Trees which incurred the highest damage levels were found to possess shoot cortical oleoresin with moderate to high levels of 3‐carene and limonene.…”

“…Lodgepole pine, which is commonly planted in the north of Britain suffers attack from a variety of pest species ( B evan , 1987 ), the three most important being the pine beauty moth, Panolis flammea , the European sawfly, Neodiprion sertifer and the larch bud moth, Zeiraphera diniana . There is already some evidence to suggest that lodgepole pine provenances vary in their resistance to defoliating pests ( L eather , 1985a D ay et al, 1991 ; L eather et al, 1997 ; T rewhella et al, 1997 ), but no study has attempted to investigate the interactions between host age and susceptibility to the above pest complex.…”

A series of experiments were carried out on Pinus contorta Dougl. in Scotland to establish if there were any inter‐provenance differences in suitability to three major forest pests: the pine beauty moth, Panolis flammea (D and S) (Lep., Noctuidae), the European pine sawfly, Neodiprion sertifer(Geoff.) (Hym., Diprionidae), and the larch bud moth Zeiraphera diniana Guennée (Lep., Tortricidae). There were significant differences in the survival, weight, and development time of P. flammea on different provenances of seedling logepole pine. Southern interior lodgepole pine (ILP) proved to be the most resistant provenance. Larvae performed significantly better on Alaskan lodgepole pine (ALP) and Skeena River lodgepole pine (ELP). Panolis flammea larvae showed significant feeding preference for certain provenances of mature lodgepole pine, with ILP being preferred to ALP, north coastal lodgepole pine, and Scots pine. There were significant differences in the mean relative growth rate of N. sertifer on different provenances of seedling and mature trees. ALP was the most resistant provenance among seedling trees, but the least resistant among mature trees. There were also significant differences in survival on foliage from mature provenances. There were no significant differences in survival of second instar Z. diniana on different provenances of mature lodgepole pine.

“…Leather personal communication, 1992). Other insect pests of lodgepole pine that are occasionally troublesome on peat soils are the pine sawfly (Neodiprion sertifer) and the larch bud moth (Zeiraphera diniana) (Bevan, 1987;Day et al, 1991). Sitka spruce is generally not susceptible to insect pests other than suffering some periodic defoliation from Green spruce aphid (Elatobium abietinum) from which it normally recovers within a year or two.…”

Multi-purpose forests on peatland

Current forestry policy has multiple objectives including wood production, nature conservation, landscape, recreation and environment protection. There are about 190 000 ha of planted forest on deep peat and another 315 000 ha on shallower peat. Deep peat covers just over 2 million ha in Britain, so the area planted is some 9.5%. The paper describes how modern silvicultural practices are designed to achieve these multiple benefits of forests on peatland.
