Abstract excerpt
Empirical studies indicate that host-tree bud break will likely advance faster than spring-folivore egg hatch in response to predicted increases in temperature. How these phenological shifts will affect herbivory will depend on temporal patterns of foliar traits that occur during leaf expansion, and their effects on folivore performance. Through fine-scale time series sampling of newly flushed trembling aspen...
