1 The browntail moth Euproctis chrysorrhoea is a highly polyphagous univoltine forest pest. Although its young larvae usually overwinter in diapause from early autumn to the beginning of spring, winter larval feeding has been reported when this species feeds on the evergreen woody shrub strawberry tree Arbutus unedo. 2 The present study investigated life‐history traits of four populations of E. chrysorrhoea feeding on A. unedo, including phenology of the different life stages, larval feeding…

The Relative Abundance and Diversity of Parasitoids of the Browntail Moth (Euproctis chrysorrhoea L.) and Factors that Influence Their Population Dynamics
The browntail moth (Euproctis chrysorrhoea L.) is an invasive forest pest that was accidentally introduced to Cambridge, MA in 1897 and caused widespread damage to forests in the early part of the 20…
Common pheromone use among host-associated populations of the browntail moth, Euproctis chrysorrhoea, displaying different adult phenologies
TLDR
Although the shifted phenology described here may underlie host-plant specialization in E. chrysorrhoea, and adults of this species are short-lived, the use of a common sexual pheromone and a large overlap in flight periods suggest that host race formation via allochronic isolation is unlikely in this moth.
A comparison of the larval overwintering biology of the striped stem borer, Chilo suppressalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), in rice and water-oat fields
TLDR
Differences in the overwintering biology of C. suppressalis larvae from rice and water-oat fields may contribute to the differentiation and reproductive isolation between host-plant populations in this species.

TLDR
Six species of fragrant tree pests, of which four, i.e., Dasineura gleditchiae, Halyomorpha halys, Trioza neglecta, and Calophya rhois were found for the first time in the fauna of Armenia, were found previously in Tavush Region, Dilijan, Armenia.
Genetic divergence and evidence for sympatric host-races in the highly polyphagous brown tail moth, Euproctis chrysorrhoea (Lepidoptera: Erebidae)
TLDR
The data support the existence of host-races of BTM within southern Spain and southern England, where populations from different hosts occur in sympatry.

Factors Influencing Larval Survival of the Invasive Browntail Moth (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) in Relict North American Populations
TLDR
The results show that climate affects browntail moth, but suggest that winter temperatures cannot explain both the rapid expansion and subsequent collapse of this pest.
Phenology of Winter Moth Feeding on Common Heather: Effects of Source Population and Experimental Manipulation of Hatch Dates
TLDR
Winter moth Operophtera brumata outbreaks on common heather Calluna vulgaris have recently caused extensive damage to moorlands in Scotland, and nutritional compensation mechanisms may explain the apparent insensitivity of O. brumATA development to host-plant phenology and nitrogen content.
Phenology of forest caterpillars and their host trees: the importance of synchrony.
TLDR
This review links mechanisms, adaptation, and population dynamics within a single conceptual framework, needed for a full understanding of the causes and consequences of synchrony between herbivore and plant phenology.

Genetic isolation between two sympatric host plant races of the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis Hübner. II: assortative mating and host-plant preferences for oviposition
TLDR
The results suggest that the genetic differentiation between the two host races may also be favored by host-plant preference, one of the first steps toward sympatric speciation.
Dynamics of host plant use and species diversity in Polygonia butterflies (Nymphalidae)
TLDR
Comparisons showed clades including butterfly species using other or additional host plants than the urticalean rosids to be more species‐rich than their sisterclade restricted to the ancestral host plants, consistent with the theory that expansions in host plant range are involved in the process of diversification in butterflies and other phytophagous insects.
Extreme Host Plant Conservatism During at Least 20 Million Years of Host Plant Pursuit by Oak Gallwasps
TLDR
It appears that the coevolutionary demands of gall induction constrain host plant shifts, both in cases of mutualism (e.g., fig wasps, yucca moths) and parasitism (oak gallwasps).
Developmental variation in the forest tent caterpillar: life history consequences of a threshold size for pupation
TLDR
Findings imply that, in species with variable instar number, one cannot extrapolate overall larval growth from growth during a single instar, and no relationship was observed between development time and pupal mass.
Allopatric genetic origins for sympatric host-plant shifts and race formation in Rhagoletis
TLDR
Evidence is reported suggesting a surprising source of genetic variation contributing to sympatric host shifts forephritid fruit flies belonging to the Rhagoletis pomonella sibling species complex, which originated in a different time and place than the proximate ecological host shifts triggering sympatrics divergence.
Host shifting by Operophtera brumata into novel environments leads to population differentiation in life‐history traits
