Abstract
- Tests the hypothesis that acropetal dispersal by late second and early third-instar Zeiraphera canadensis larvae throughout the crown of white spruce is an adaptive response to within-plant variability in foliage development. Survival; Size and development rate of survivors; Intraspecific larval competition; Effect of formica ant predation.
