“…When shoots of hybrid cottonwoods have leaf rolls made by larvae of Anacampsis niveopulvella, the species richness and species abundance of associated herbivores were four and seven times, respectively, as high as those on adjacent shoots without leaf rolls (Martinsen et al 2000). On paper birch, removal of early season shelter makers, Acrobasis betulella, reduced the abundance of species appearing later in the season, and this indirect effect remained in the following year (Cappuccino and Martin 1994).…”

“…Potential shelter makers may be conspecific or heterospecific to the shelter makers. The first category includes late-generation caterpillars that use leaf shelters made by the first generation of their own species (Carroll and Kearby 1978;Carroll et al 1979;Cappuccino 1993;Cappuccino and Martin 1994). The second category is represented by caterpillars and spiders (see Table 2).…”

“…There is evidence that leaf shelters have clearly positive effects on arthropod diversity (see Fig. 2) (Cappuccino and Martin 1994;Waltz and Whitham 1997;Martinsen et al 2000;Fukui, unpublished). On mountain ash (Sorbus commixta), some species of weevils (Orchestes sp.)…”

Leaf shelters indirectly mediate interactions in animal-plant communities by providing the occupants with several kinds of benefits, as physical ecosystem engineering. The occupants benefit from favorable microhabitat, reduction in antiherbivore defense, and protection from natural enemies. The primary shelter maker has to spend energy and time and producing silk, but shelter users have great advantages without incurring costs. Shelter users consist of a wide range of arthropod taxa and can be divided into two groups: coexisting organisms that live with a primary shelter maker in the same shelter, and secondary users, which inhabit a leaf shelter after it is utilized by a shelter maker. Leaf shelters mediate interactions between (1) primary shelter makers and coexisting organisms or (2) primary shelter makers and secondary users, (3) secondary users, (4) shelter users and their natural enemies, and (5) primary shelter makers, secondary users, and their host plants. Most interactions between primary shelter makers and coexisting organisms constitute a direct trophic linkage rather than indirect ones. There are actually unidirectional beneficial effects from a primary shelter maker to secondary shelter users, whereas leaf shelters mediate competition and predation among shelter users. By providing a leaf shelter, a shelter maker leads to increased diversity of interactions. Leaf shelters modify the distribution of organisms on the host plant and influence herbivory on the host plant. In tritrophic interactions, leaf shelters act as cues for natural enemies that search for a shelter user as prey. Furthermore, by enhancing habitat heterogeneity, leaf shelters affect the abundance and species richness of arthropods on host plants.

“…Leaf shelters have been reported to affect microhabitat conditions (Hunter & Willmer 1989;Cappuccino 1993;Cappuccino & Martin 1994;Larsson et al 1997;Martinsen et al 2000;Fukui 2001). In this study, the presence of approximately two leaf shelters per shoot affected the distribution of aphids, ants, other herbivores, and generalist predators.…”

We observed the abundance of leaf shelters, aphids, other herbivores, and predators on willow trees, Salix eriocarpa, from May to October 2003. There was a positive correlation between the growth rate of aphids and the number of ants per shoot, suggesting ant attendance to aphids. Although the mean abundance of leaf shelters per shoot was rather low (1.7-2.2) throughout the observation period, aphids preferred to use shoots with leaf shelters compared with those without leaf shelters. The abundance of ants was positively influenced by the presence of leaf shelters and aphids from May to August. The abundance of other herbivores was positively influenced by leaf shelters, but negatively influenced by aphid presence from May to August. Furthermore, leaf shelters had a positive effect on the abundance of predators from July to October. These data suggest that a relatively low abundance of naturally occurring leaf shelters per shoot influenced the arthropod communities on S. eriocarpa, and the effect of those leaf shelters on each type of arthropod varied according to the season.
