“…Joos et al (1988), Alonso (1997), and Yule and Burns (2017) show that higher temperatures inside shelters positively affect caterpillar growth rate. In a replicated experiment using experimental leaf rolls conducted at 52 sites across the globe, Romero (e.g., leaf rolls vs. leaf ties) (Marquis et al, 2022).…”

“…Experiments are needed to tease apart the effect of leaf shelters on colonisation, survivorship, feeding, and growth rate of the inhabitants. Most likely, the relative influence of natural enemies, abiotic factors, and leaf quality may depend on shelter type (e.g., leaf rolls vs. leaf ties) (Marquis et al, 2022).…”

“…The presence of leaf shelters can affect arthropod community structure solely due to the use of those shelters by secondary inhabitants (Lill & Marquis, 2003; Velasque & Del‐Claro, 2016; Vieira & Romero, 2013; Wang et al, 2012). The shelter may provide any number of benefits for the secondary inhabitants, including protection from natural enemies, amelioration of the abiotic environment, increased leaf quality, a site for finding mates and prey, escape from UV radiation, and/or making it easier to hold on to slippery plant surfaces (Marquis et al, 2022; Marquis & Lill, 2007).…”

1. Leaf shelter construction by herbivorous insects can improve leaf quality, sometimes changing resultant herbivory. In two experiments in a Missouri (USA) deciduous forest we quantified the impact of leaf tie construction and changes to leaf quality on subsequent leaf damage.2. First, using eight Quercus species, we compared damage to single leaves versus experimental leaf ties that had been stocked with either Pseudotelphusa quercinigracella (Gelechiidae) or Psilocorsis cryptolechiella (Depressariidae) to determine how initial leaf quality (total phenolics) influenced damage caused by shelter inhabitants.Skeletonization by leaf tying caterpillars and leaf edge chewing by free feeding species were 12.2Â and 1.3Â greater on tied than on non-tied leaves, respectively. July and September leaf phenolic content had a slight positive effect on the probability of skeletonization, none on the probability of edge damage, and a weakly positive or negative effect on the intensity of skeletonization and edge damage, depending on leaf position.3. Second, we created experimental leaf ties, protected from herbivores, on the same Quercus species to determine whether tie formation changes leaf quality (total phenolics, nitrogen, water, toughness). Tie formation decreased phenolics, but this change was predicted to add only 0.8% leaf area loss. 4. Synthesis. Herbivory increased dramatically when leaves were in ties, with the effect mostly due to the tie itself rather than a change in leaf quality. We predict that the advantages of building and using leaf ties in this system are more likely to be escape from natural enemies and changes in abiotic factors.

“…Os lepidópteros são capazes de construir uma infinidade de estruturas em suas plantas hospedeiras que podem ser colonizadas por outros organismos Marquis et al 2022). Estes abrigos desempenham papéis diversos e podem ser construídos para alimentação externa nas plantas, como é o caso dos lepidópteros enroladores de folhas (Lill & Marquis, 2003;Nakamura & Ohgushi, 2003;Vieira & Romero, 2013;Henriques et al 2019), e lepidópteros construtores de amarras foliares (Wang et al 2012;Velasque & Del-Claro, 2016).…”

“…Para testar os efeitos dos insetos engenheiros de ecossistemas em artrópodes associados, experimentos que envolvem manipulação experimental podem ser realizados, tanto pela inclusão de abrigos artificiais (que simulam a arquitetura do abrigo natural), quanto pela manipulação da abundância dos abrigos naturalmente construídos pelo próprio inseto engenheiro (Marquis et al 2022). Alguns estudos observacionais já documentaram a utilização secundária de galhas senescentes por outros artrópodes em regiões tropicais .…”

Essa tese é fruto de uma longa trajetória, que se iniciou ainda na minha infância. Por isso, preciso agradecer primeiramente a minha família. Meus pais, Ana e João, nunca mediram esforços para que eu pudesse estudar. Tive que sair de casa muito cedo, para ir estudar na cidade. E aquela menina a quase vinte anos atrás, jamais poderia imaginar onde poderia chegar.Também preciso agradecer aos meus avós paternos Ana Francisca (Naninha), e João Cândido (Nequinha). Talvez essa trajetória tenha começado, com eles inclusive, que não puderam estudar, mas fizeram de tudo para que os filhos se formassem, e sempre aconselharam os filhos a fazerem o mesmo pelos netos. Essa sementinha plantada por eles rendeu frutos. Gostaria de agradecer especialmente, a pessoa que escolhi para dividir a vida. Nestes dez anos juntos, o Renato sempre foi um parceiro incentivador do meu crescimento. Topou segurar as pontas enquanto precisei me ausentar para realizar as disciplinas, ou durante as coletas de campo. Segurou as pontas inclusive quando eu estava presente, mas me dedicando as atividades da tese, e sei que sem a sua ajuda eu não teria chegado aqui.Também preciso agradecer, ao meu filho Eduardo. Por todos os momentos em que foi compreensivo e entendeu que a mamãe precisava estudar.Agradeço também a Cila, minha sogra, que nos últimos quatro anos sempre me deu suporte, auxiliando nos cuidados com meu filho enquanto precisei me ausentar para realizar as disciplinas da pós, ou durante as coletas de campo.Não poderia deixar de agradecer, meu orientador, Prof. Jean Carlos Santos, que aceitou me orientar no doutorado, com um grupo de insetos que eu almejava estudar desde a graduação, os insetos galhadores. Muito obrigada por todos os ensinamentos e auxílio.Agradeço também os colegas de laboratório do LEBIO, em especial o Henrique que me auxiliou muito durante o doutorado, seja me tirando dúvidas ou auxiliando nas coletas de campo no Glória, e o Rodrigo colega de disciplinas e caronas para Ribeirão. Gostaria de agradecer também os colegas e professores da Pós-graduação em Entomologia. Também gostaria de agradecer a Renata, secretária da pós, que sempre foi muito solícita nas minhas dúvidas e está sempre disposta a ajudar.Deixo meus sinceros agradecimentos a todos os membros que compuseram a banca examinadora, Profª.

Shelter building caterpillars act as ecosystem engineers by creating and maintaining leaf shelters, which are then colonized by other arthropods. Foliage quality has been shown to influence initial colonization by shelter-building caterpillars. However, the effects of plant quality on the interactions between ecosystem engineers and their communities have yet to be studied at the whole plant level. We examined how leaf tying caterpillars, as ecosystem engineers, impact arthropod communities on Quercus alba (white oak), and the modifying effect of foliage quality on these interactions. We removed all leaf tying caterpillars and leaf ties on 35 Q. alba saplings during the season when leaf tying caterpillars were active (June–September), and compared these leaf tie removal trees to 35 control trees whose leaf ties were left intact. Removal of these ecosystem engineers had no impact on overall arthropod species richness, but reduced species diversity, and overall arthropod abundance and that of most guilds, and changed the structure of the arthropod community as the season progressed. There was an increase in plant-level species richness with increasing number of leaf ties, consistent with Habitat Diversity Hypothesis. In turn, total arthropod density, and that of both leaf tying caterpillars and free-feeding caterpillars were affected by foliar tannin and nitrogen concentrations, and leaf water content. The engineering effect was greatest on low quality plants, consistent with the Stress-Gradient Hypothesis. Our results demonstrate that interactions between ecosystem engineering and plant quality together determine community structure of arthropods on Q. alba in Missouri.
