Abstract Cyclic populations of western tent caterpillars fluctuate with a periodicity of 6–11 years in southwestern British Columbia, Canada. Typically, larval survival is high in early stages of the population increase, begins to decline midway through the increase phase, and is low through several generations of the population decline. Fecundity is generally high in increasing and in peak populations but is also reduced during the population decline. Poor survival and low fecundity for…

Genetic Similarity of Island Populations of Tent Caterpillars during Successive Outbreaks
TLDR
It is concluded that high levels of dispersal among populations maintain both synchrony of population dynamics and override potential genetic differentiation that might occur during population troughs.
Cyclic abundance fluctuations in a completely isolated population of Euphydryas maturna
A highly isolated and the last autochthonous Czech Republic population of the endangered Euphydryas maturna (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) is monitored since 2001 by larval nests counts. The 20 years`…
Geographic variation in North American gypsy moth cycles: subharmonics, generalist predators, and spatial coupling.
TLDR
A new statistical spatial-smoothing method for estimating outbreak periodicity from space-time defoliation data collected with spatial error is introduced and statistically confirms the existence of subharmonic variation in cyclicity among different forest types.
Population Cycles in Forest Lepidoptera Revisited
TLDR
The hypothesis that sunspots explain cycles is rejected and the influences of delayed-induced plant defenses on populations are inconsistent, but interactions between plant chemistry, pathogens, and immunity remain rich areas for future study.
Within and between population variation in disease resistance in cyclic populations of western tent caterpillars: a test of the disease defence hypothesis.

TLDR
Although some evidence suggests that viral epizootics can select for increased resistance of field populations of tent caterpillars, the general deterioration in quality, elevated background mortality, and the reduced fecundity after theEpizootic are stronger influences on the population decline.
Dendrochronological reconstruction of forest tent caterpillar outbreaks in time and space, western Manitoba, Canada
A tree-ring reconstruction of forest tent caterpillar (Malacosoma disstria Hubner) outbreaks was conducted in the Duck Mountain Provincial Forest. Trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.), balsam…
Thermal Ecology of Western Tent Caterpillars Malacosoma Californicum Pluviale and Infection by Nucleopolyhedrovirus
TLDR
Warmer temperatures attained by basking may increase the number of infection cycles in sunny springs but do not protect larvae from viral infection, according to behaviourally thermoregulating organisms.
Hierarchical spatial structure of genetically variable nucleopolyhedroviruses infecting cyclic populations of western tent caterpillars
TLDR
Examination of the genetic diversity of McplNPV infecting western tent caterpillar populations at different spatial scales suggested that the population was structured at several spatial levels, and there is potential for the virus to become locally adapted to western tent Caterpillar populations in different sites.
Multiple Mating and Family Structure of the Western Tent Caterpillar, Malacosoma californicum pluviale: Impact on Disease Resistance
TLDR
An association between larval survival and family-level heterozygosity that may be relevant to the population dynamics of this cyclic forest lepidopteran is discovered and described and characterize 8 microsatellite loci, which demonstrate patterns of variation within and between families of western tent caterpillars.
Population studies of tree-defoliating insects in Canada: a century in review
TLDR
A review of research during the past century focussed on the population ecology of outbreak-prone insect defoliators in Canadian forests concludes with several case studies highlighting the impact and historical underpinnings of population studies for major defoliator species.

Population Cycles of Western Tent Caterpillars: Experimental Introductions and Synchrony of Fluctuations
TLDR
The relatively good survival of early-instar caterpillars, and the increase in three in- troduced populations while other populations were declining, argue against poor weather or asynchrony between hatching of eggs and leaf development as explanations of the cyclic decline.
Climate and outbreaks of the forest tent caterpillar
TLDR
Defoliation maps, compiled annually from flight surveys for the province of Ontario, were compared to similarly scaled temperature records and showed no relationship between the pattern of increases or declines in defoliation and either temperatures during early larval development, or overwintering temperatures.
Qualitative Changes in Populations in Unstable Environments
Inactive moths of Malacosoma pluviale (Dyar) oviposit near their birthplaces, and most of their offspring also are inactive. More active moths can travel farther before they oviposit, and always have…
Dynamics of Viral Disease and Population Fluctuations in Western Tent Caterpillars (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae) in Southwestern British Columbia, Canada
TLDR
Western tent caterpillars at 2 mainland locations did not show a typical pattern of cyclic population fluctuation and for these the levels of viral infection did not vary consistently with host numbers, so tents are unlikely to be a source of environmental contamination when host numbers are low.

Seasonal history of the western tent caterpillar (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae) on bitterbrush and currant in central Oregon.
TLDR
Seasonal history of the western tent caterpillar, Malacosoma californicum (Packard), as related to heat accumulation and host phenology, was investigated during an outbreak in central Oregon, suggesting that the outbreak crashed because of a rapid decline in population quality.
Prevalence and Persistence of Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus in Fluctuating Populations of Forest Tent Caterpillars (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae) in the Area of Prince George, British Columbia
TLDR
DNA dot-blot hybridization was used to identify viral infection in caterpillars collected from 6 field populations of forest tent caterpillar in the vicinity of Prince George, BC.
Thermal ecology, behavior, and growth of gypsy moth and eastern tent caterpillars
TLDR
Growth rates of tent caterpillars in the field are greater than that expected for the average ambient temperature of 15°, and closely approximate growth in the laboratory at 25°, near the average Tb exhibited in theField data are used to develop hypotheses for the evolution of caterpillar thermal responses.
Population Density and Transmission of Virus in Experimental Populations of the Western Tent Caterpillar (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae)
TLDR
Transmission of virus between colonies within trees was related to the size of the colonies and virus was more widely spread among the 4 colonies when colonies were large, which could be attributed to variation in the development rate and mobility of caterpillars from small and large colonies.
