“…It has been suggested that the variation in the concentration of nitrogen and secondary metabolites depends on the following: (1) the genotype of the host plant (Glynn et al 2004), (2) environmental conditions (Larsson et al 1986;Henriksson et al 2003;Niinemets and Kull 2003), and (3) the resources of the host plant (Ricklefs 2008). In addition, the chemical composition of the leaves of host plants may change as a result of damage by herbivores (plant's induced response), which has an effect on subsequent attacks (Karban and Myers 1989).…”

Canopy of forest ecosystems has been recognized as a habitat that supports a wide variety of plants, vertebrates, invertebrates, and microbes. Within the invertebrate group, arthropods are characterized by their great abundance, diversity, and functional importance. Particularly in temperate forests, species of the genus Quercus (oaks) are one of the most important tree canopy groups, for its diversity and dominance. Different studies have shown that the oak canopy contains a high diversity of arthropods suggesting their importance as habitat for this group of organisms. In this review, we investigated the factors that determine the establishment, organization, and maintenance of arthropod communities in the oak canopy. In general, it was found that there is a lack of literature that addresses the study of oak canopy arthropod communities. Also, the following patterns were found: (a) the research has covered a wide variety of topics; however, there are differences in the depth to which each topic has been analyzed, (b) there are ambiguous criteria to define the structure of the canopy, (c) groups with different habitat preferences belonging to different guilds and uneven development stages have been studied, avoiding generalizations about patterns found, (d) the standardization in sampling techniques and collection has been difficult, (e) bias exists towards the study of phytophagous insects belonging to the Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, and Lepidoptera orders, and (f) there are few studies in other groups of arthropods, for example, acorn borers, whose activity has an impact on the fitness and dispersion of the host plants. Finally, we propose that the detection and study of patterns in oak canopy communities can be of great value to propose management and conservation strategies in these forests.

“…Selective pressures should result in females ovipositing in leaves which promote increased larval development and survival (Mitchell 1975, Wiren & Larsson 1984, Larsson et al 1986; but see Chew 1977, Wolfson 1982. Therefore, larval occurrence and damage should reflect qualitative and quantitative differences in plant quality detectable by the ovipositing female (Chew 1977, Rausher 1979.…”

“…The first application will be unproblematic if well defined and, whenever possible, standardized techniques for the assessment of CP and FP are employed. The second will work out only if the current hypothes~s on resource allocation "on demand" (Coley et al 1985;Rhoades 1985;Coley 1986;Larsson et al 1986;Bazzaz et al 1987;Nitao and Zangerl 1987;Van Alstyne 1988;Fagerstr6m 1989) holds true. Maybe AFP proves a suitable tool for testing this hypothesis for one particular situation: marine epibiosis.…”
