“…See Brookshire et al (1997) and Sheriff and He (1997) for more detailed descriptions of the experimental design. Methods and results based on insect sampling in the MOFEP are presented in detail in previous publications (Forkner and Marquis, 2004;Forkner et al, 2006;Summerville and Marquis, 2016). Specifically for each of the three control treatment plots, we sampled 1-6 stands depending on the year.…”

“…Even within the same species and during the same drought period, one population of the checkerspot butterfly responded by increasing while all others declined (Ehrlich et al, 1980). Declines in species richness of multiple adult moth species in Indiana oak-hickory forests were associated with the severe 2012 drought in the Midwest, USA (Summerville and Marquis, 2016). Perhaps even more threatening is the possibility of multiple events (e.g., spring frosts and summer droughts) occurring in the same year.…”

“…Long term data are important with regard to questions of impacts of climate and human management on insect populations (Summerville and Marquis, 2016;Sanchez-Bayo and Wyckhuys, 2019). Such data are necessary because they give evidence for general trends of increases or declines.…”

Extreme weather events dramatically impact populations of individual insect species but the consequences of such events for entire insect communities are not well documented. We present evidence that mid spring frosts and summer drought negatively affect the community of insects found on Missouri oaks (Quercus alba and Q. velutina), amounting to a 23-186 fold decrease depending on the oak species, insect body size and feeding guild, and the specific weather event. Depending on the event, spring faunas required 1-5 years and summer faunas 1-4 years following spring frosts to reach pre-event levels. The impact of summer drought on leaf tying caterpillars also lasted over an extended period of time; it was 5 years before numbers of leaf ties reached pre-drought levels. Smaller-bodied species of leaf tying Lepidoptera took longer to recover than largerbodied species following the drought. Overall, we found no evidence for a general decline in abundance, even a modest one, during the 20 years of study of faunas on oak trees in southeastern Missouri. However, the risk of mid-season frost damage to trees is expected to increase with predicted earlier onset of spring. Similarly, the effects of drought reported here are likely to increase with time, as the climate in the Midwest U.S. is only expected to become warmer and drier during the summer months. Understanding the impact of such weather events on insect communities influences our ability to predict how habitat and landscape management, or lack thereof, will influence future patterns of insect abundance and diversity.

“…As a target group, we selected nocturnal Lepidoptera (‘moths’) since these terrestrial insects are usually rich in species, can easily be sampled using light traps, and reflect a wide variety of bionomic strategies (Slade et al 2013 ; Summerville and Marquis 2017 ). At the same time, moths show close functional links to the vegetation of their habitats, mostly through the nutritional demands of their larval stages.…”

From forest to fragment: compositional differences inside coastal forest moth assemblages and their environmental correlates

Patterns of β-diversity can provide insight into forces shaping community assembly. We analyzed species-rich insect assemblages in two reserve fragments that had once been part of one contiguous Mediterranean coastal pine forest. Local environments are still similar across both fragments, but their landscape context differs strongly, with one surrounded by intense agricultural land, while the other neighbors the urbanized area of Ravenna. Using 23,870 light-trap records of 392 moth species, and multiple local and landscape metrics, we compared the relative importance of habitat- versus landscape-scale environmental factors for shaping small-scale variation in differentiation and proportional insect β-diversity across 30 sites per reserve. Moth assemblage composition differed substantially between fragments, most likely due to ecological drift and landscape-scale variation. For proportional β-diversity, especially local forest structure was important. At well-developed forest sites, additive homogenization could be observed, whereas the lack of typical forest species at dry, dense, and younger forest sites increased species turnover (subtractive heterogenization). For differentiation β-diversity, local and landscape-scale factors were equally important in both reserves. At the landscape-scale (500 m radius around light-trapping sites) the proximity to urban areas and the fraction of human-altered land were most important. At the habitat scale, gradients in soil humidity, nutrient levels and forest structure mattered most, whereas plant diversity had very little explanatory power. Overall, landscape-scale anthropogenic alterations had major effects on moth communities inside the two conservation areas. Yet, even for these parts of one formerly contiguous forest trajectories in community change were remarkably idiosyncratic.

“…El alcornoque, Quercus suber L. es la segunda especie en importancia en las dehesas de la zona suroccidental (Alejano et al, 2011). Los insectos defoliadores son componentes importantes de los ecosistemas forestales: afectan al crecimiento de los árboles e influyen en el ciclo de los nutrientes, proporcionan alimentos a niveles tróficos superiores y algunas especies contribuyen a la polinización como adultos (Summerville and Marquis, 2016). Entre los defoliadores que afectan al género Quercus se han citado 60 especies de Lepidoptera (en 14 familias, la mayoría de Noctuidae), un himenóptero (Periclista andrei Konow), los géneros Coeliodes Shoenherr y Brachyderes Shoenherr (Coleoptera) (Antonietty, 2013 y autores citados allí).…”

En este trabajo se estudió la presencia de insectos defoliadores de hoja tierna (dentro de los órdenes Lepidoptera e Hymenoptera), en una dehesa de Quercus suber en Huelva (TM Almonte), y su relación con los perfiles de emisión foliar de monoterpenos de los árboles. Los muestreos consistieron en vareos semanales (15 golpes por árbol y vareo) entre el 28/3/2019 y el 10/5/2019 (comprendiendo el vuelo de las principales especies en la zona estudiada). Se estudiaron 25 alcornoques cuyo perfil de emisión de monoterpenos foliares era conocido previamente (12 con perfil tipo pineno, 13 con perfil tipo limoneno). Se identificaron un total de 272 larvas pertenecientes a 9 especies. Las especies dominantes fueron Catocala nymphagoga (40.8 %) y Periclista andrei (27.6%); junto a ellas se encontraron Bena bicolorana, Syntaurucus pirithous, Drepana uncinula, Archyps xylosteana, Cyclophora punctaria, Satyrium esculi y Lasiocampa trifolii. El 70.6 % de las larvas se encontró en árboles con perfil tipo pineno, y un 29.4 % en árboles de perfil tipo limoneno. La composición en especies resultó diferente entre árboles de distinto perfil emisor. Mientras que L. trifolii y S. pirithous no se encontraron en árboles de perfil limoneno (escasas en tipo pineno), D. uncinula y A. xylosteanus tuvieron abundancia ligeramente mayor para el perfil tipo limoneno. La presencia conjunta de las cuatro especies más relevantes (C. nymphagoga, P. andrei, B. bicolorana y C. punctaria) resultó un 62.7% menor en árboles con perfil tipo limoneno que en árboles de tipo pineno.
