    Damaged germinating northern red oak, Quercus rubra L., acorns in pitfall traps were significantly more attractive to two species of acorn insects than undamaged germinating acorns. Significantly more adults of the weevil Conotrachelus posticatus ohe em an and the sap beetle Stelidota octomaculata (Say) were caught in traps containing germinating acorns cut into halves...

  4. Insect-oak interactions with coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia) and Engelmann oak (Q. engelmannii) at the acorn and seedling stage

    We determined the impact of insects on both acorns and seedlings of coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia Nee) and Engelmann oak (Quercus engelmannii E. Greene). Our goals were to (1) identify insects feeding on acorns and levels of insect damage, and (2) measure performance and preference of a generalist leaf-feeding insect herbivore...
