The major role of chemical defenses i n plants i s hypothesized to be increasing the impact of insect diseases, parasites, and predators. None of these factors alone provides an explanation of why e v o l u t i o n a r i l y l a b i l e insects rarely defoliate t h e i r long-lived hosts. However, interactions among all of them could increase the useful evolutionary l i f e t i m e of each and the effectiveness of all. In p a r t i c u l a r , chemical v a r i a b i l i t y i s observed to place insects i n compromise situations which increase t h e i r exposure and s u s c e p t i b i l i t y to natural enemies. Forest trees are shown to be highly variable i n space and time, and the impact of t h i s variability on c a t e r p i l l a r s i s explored i n several examples. Despite the impression made by o c c a s i o n a l widespread p e s t outbreaks such as those o f the gypsy moth, severe d e f o l i a t i o n o f f o r e s t e d ecosystems i s q u i t e unusual. Fewer than 10% o f the species l i s t e d i n the Canadian F o r e s t Survey o f L e p i d o p t e r a (1, 2) e x h i b i t p e r i o d i c or o c c a s i o n a l outbreaks.

A number o f r e g u l a t o r y f a c t o r s have been proposed, and v a r i o u s p o t e n t i a l r e g u l a t o r s have been shown t o operate i n c e r t a i n systems (S,6).

PLANT RESISTANCE TO INSECTS

Indeed, e m p i r i c a l o b s e r v a t i o n , e v o l u t i o n a r y theory, and common sense a l l suggest t h a t s i n g l e - f a c t o r approaches are not l i k e l y t o i d e n t i f y u n d e r l y i n g c a u s a l r e l a t i o n s h i p s . Consider the impact of p l a n t defensive chemistry. In recent years i t has become c l e a r t h a t secondary compounds and the r e l a t i v e concentrat i o n s of primary n u t r i e n t s i n p l a n t t i s s u e s may r e s t r i c t f e e d i n g and growth of herbivorous i n s e c t s (see 8 ) . C l e a r l y the a v a i l a b i l i t y of p l a n t t i s s u e s i s a f u n c t i o n of t i s s u e q u a l i t y as w e l l as q u a n t i t y , h e l p i n g t o e x p l a i n why herbivorous i n s e c t s may appear f o o d - l i m i t e d before t h e i r host t i s s u e s are exhausted (9). However, t o maintain f o r e s t i n s e c t p o p u l a t i o n s a t the s t a b l e , extremely low l e v e l s we normally observe, p l a n t chemistry would have t o deter f e e d i n g , poison i n s e c t s , or reduce d i g e s t i o n so s t r o n g l y t h a t p o p u l a t i o n dynamics of the i n s e c t s are profoundly depressed. T h i s n e c e s s i t a t e s d r a s t i c a l l y reducing the f i t n e s s of organisms having enormous p o t e n t i a l f e c u n d i t i e s , p o p u l a t i o n growth r a t e s , and very short generation times. Many f o r e s t Lepidoptera have p o t e n t i a l f e c u n d i t i e s of from 200-1000 eggs/ female, y e t year-to-year p o p u l a t i o n l e v e l s i n d i c a t e s s u r v i v o r ship of only 1 or 2 per female (10). Such a strong impact on s u r v i v o r s h i p or f e c u n d i t y , and on the f i t n e s s of i n d i v i d u a l s , means e x e r t i n g strong n a t u r a l s e l e c t i o n on herbivorous i n s e c t s . T h i s should f a v o r the r a p i d e v o l u t i o n of i n s e c t adaptations which overcome i t . T h i s i s , of course, a common occurrence i n the a p p l i c a t i o n of p e s t i c i d e s or the development of r e s i s t a n t crop p l a n t c u l t i v a r s (11). The s u p p o s i t i o n t h a t p l a n t defenses s e l e c t f o r d e t o x i c a t i o n adaptations i n i n s e c t s i s the foundation of the concept of c o e v o l u t i o n (12). F o r e s t t r e e s represent a p a r t i c u l a r l y v u l n e r a b l e paradox. An i n d i v i d u a l t r e e may l i v e f o r 300 or more years. During t h i s time i t does not move, and presumably cannot adapt t o environmental change. I f t r e e defenses were r e s p o n s i b l e f o r the strong r e g u l a t i o n of i n s e c t s and h e r b i v o r y , the l i f e t i m e of a s i n g l e t r e e ought t o p r o v i d e enough time f o r the e v o l u t i o n of h i g h l y v i r u l e n t i n s e c t s which c o u l d d e f o l i a t e t h e i r host t r e e s repeatedly. T h i s does not appear t o happen. Feeny (13) attempted t o r e s o l v e t h i s dilemma by proposing t h a t f o r e s t t r e e s may have developed a p a r t i c u l a r l y r e c a l c i t r a n t defense, one which even i n s e c t s c o u l d not overcome i n hundreds of generations. H i s suggestion was t h a t protein-complexing p o l y phenols, or t a n n i n s , could p r o v i d e such p r o t e c t i o n . However, there are many i n s e c t s which feed p r e f e r e n t i a l l y on h i g h - t a n n i n content t i s s u e s (14,L5) , and s p e c i f i c adaptations e x i s t which can n u l l i f y or reduce the d i g e s t i o n i n h i b i t i o n e f f e c t s of tannins (16) • One must conclude t h a t no uniform p h y s i c a l or chemical defense should be regarded as insurmountable by e v o l v i n g i n s e c t s . Any uniform chemical p l a n t defense should s e l e c t f o r p e s t s capable of d e f e a t i n g i t . Obviously, however, there i s a s o l u t i o n

The E v o l u t i o n a r y Importance of Chemical

Variability

In f a c t , there are a t l e a s t 3 p o s s i b l e s o l u t i o n s . A l l three have one t h i n g i n common: they focus on the r a p i d l y - g r o w i n g body of evidence t h a t t r e e s are not uniform i n defensive chemistry. Instead, most p l a n t s are h i g h l y complex, dynamic mosaics o f v a r i a b l e chemistry and n u t r i e n t v a l u e . T h i s o b s e r v a t i o n suggests ways i n which defensive chemistry may remain e f f e c t i v e over many i n s e c t generations: Complex r e s i s t a n c e . Q u a l i t a t i v e and/or q u a n t i t a t i v e chemical v a r i a t i o n i n p l a n t s may expose i n s e c t s t o more than one d e t e r r e n t (or poison) c o n c u r r e n t l y . S e v e r a l authors have proposed (12^,18,1^) and Pimentel and B e l o t t i (20) have shown i n the l a b o r a t o r y , t h a t i n s e c t s may be slower t o adapt t o such complex chemical mixtures. As a r e s u l t , even s u b l e t h a l doses o f t o x i n s may remain e f f e c t i v e over long p e r i o d s o f time. Resource r e s t r i c t i o n . I f chemical defenses vary q u a n t i t a t i v e l y w i t h i n or between i n d i v i d u a l p l a n t s , then some t i s s u e s may be defended w h i l e others are not. As a r e s u l t , i n s e c t s have a v a i l a b l e t o them the e v o l u t i o n a r y o p t i o n o f avoidance; they may develop the a b i l i t y t o recognize poor q u a l i t y food and a v o i d i t , r a t h e r than e v o l v i n g d e t o x i c a t i o n mechanisms (12,18). T h i s should r e s u l t i n f e e d i n g a c t i v i t y concentrated on a r e s t r i c t e d set o f t i s s u e s or p l a n t i n d i v i d u a l s . There are two important consequences o f t h i s . F i r s t , contact r a t e s w i t h defenses can be lowered by a v o i d i n g them. Hence, the e v o l u t i o n of d e t o x i c a t i o n i s l e s s l i k e l y o r l e s s r a p i d (18). Second, and perhaps more important, the e f f e c t i v e n e s s o f n a t u r a l enemies may be enhanced (below). M u l t i p l e - f a c t o r i n t e r a c t i o n s . Each p o t e n t i a l r e g u l a t o r y f a c t o r may i n t e r a c t s y n e r g i s t i c a l l y w i t h the others and enhance t h e i r e f f e c t i v e n e s s . For example, p l a n t chemistry can i n f l u e n c e the e f f e c t i v e n e s s of p r e d a t o r s , p a r a s i t o i d s and diseases i n a v a r i e t y of ways (_21,J22,23) . However, the s e l e c t i v e pressure exerted by uniform chemical defenses should be strengthened by i n t e r a c t i o n s w i t h n a t u r a l enemies, and t h e i r u s e f u l l i f e w i l l be shortened. Consequently, although the ways i n which p l a n t chemistry can i n f l u e n c e the e f f e c t i v e n e s s o f n a t u r a l enemies are d i z e r s e , they can remain e f f e c t i v e through e v o l u t i o n a r y time only i f v a r i a b i l i t y i s p a r t o f the p i c t u r e as w e l l . I n f a c t , although reviews have tended t o focus on chemical enhancement o f n a t u r a l enemy r e g u l a t i o n (23), there are probably as many ways i n which uniform p l a n t chemistry can i n t e r f e r e w i t h the a c t i o n s o f these enemies as there

are p o s i t i v e e f f e c t s (24,25,26). I t i s not even c l e a r t h a t the impact o f uniform p l a n t defenses w i l l always be p o s i t i v e from the p l a n t ' s p o i n t o f view. I suggest t h a t v a r i a b l e p l a n t chemistry, by r e s t r i c t i n g resource a v a i l a b i l i t y and f o c u s i n g the a c t i v i t i e s of herbivores on a few t i s s u e s , promotes compromises between f o o d - f i n d i n g and r i s k s from n a t u r a l enemies which are n o t r e a d i l y countered by most i n s e c t s . The s p a t i a l and temporal heterogeneity which appears t o be common i n f o r e s t t r e e s i s the most important p a r t of the t r e e ' s defensive system, and i s the only way a p l a n t ' s chemical defenses can remain e f f e c t i v e over e v o l u t i o n a r y time. T h i s v a r i a b l e impact on n a t u r a l enemies may be more important i n r e g u l a t i n g consumption than any s i n g l e f a c t o r can be. V a r i a b i l i t y i n Tree Defenses There are many p o s s i b l e causes of chemical and n u t r i e n t v a r i a b i l i t y i n t r e e t i s s u e s (27,28) which r e s u l t i n a wide range of s p a t i a l a r r a y s o f s u i t a b l e and u n s u i t a b l e food f o r i n s e c t s (29).

On an even f i n e r s c a l e , we have found t h a t adjacent leaves on s i n g l e sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh) and y e l l o w b i r c h (Betula a l l e g h e n i e n s i s B r i t t . ) may d i f f e r g r e a t l y i n s e v e r a l t r a i t s important t o herbivorous i n s e c t s (31; F i g u r e 1). Some o f these d i f f e r e n c e s , e.g., i n tanning c o e f f i c i e n t (32), vary by f a c t o r s o f 2 o r more from l e a f t o l e a f (Figure 1).

An i n s e c t host's exposure t o p a r a s i t e s and predators may be increased by v a r i a b l e p l a n t defenses i n three ways.

Moving long d i s t a n c e s and t a s t i n g many s u r f a c e s (29) may a l s o g r e a t l y i n c r e a s e contact r a t e s w i t h pathogens. Pathogens are o f t e n d i s t r i b u t e d on p l a n t t i s s u e s u r f a c e s by other host i n s e c t s (52), and are t r a n s m i t t e d by subsequent contact w i t h the same s u r f a c e s . Increased movement should d i s p e r s e pathogens more w i d e l y and i n c r e a s e the p r o b a b i l i t y of encountering them. Moreover, the chemistry of p l a n t t i s s u e s may i n f l u e n c e the composition of t h e i r surface f a u n a s / f l o r a s (53). Hence, by f o c u s i n g f e e d i n g a c t i v i t i e s on t i s s u e s w i t h c e r t a i n chemical t r a i t s , i n s e c t s may simultaneously f i n d themselves feeding on t i s s u e s which promote the growth of pathogens. T h i s may be p a r t i c u l a r l y important when l e a f age i s a c r i t e r i o n f o r c h o i c e . We have observed c o n s i s t e n t l y e l e v a t e d v i r a l m o r t a l i t y (70% vs 30%, N = 80) among i n d i v i d u a l s of the n o c t u i d , O r t h o s i a h i b i s c i Guenee, when fed o l d e r (45 days) y e l l o w b i r c h leaves as compared w i t h those fed young ( l e s s than 10 days) leaves from the same t r e e . Although t h i s e f f e c t could be due t o d i f f e r e n t i a l chemistry i n the two l e a f age c l a s s e s (31), a more parsimonious hypothesis i s t h a t o l d e r leaves have had more time t o c o l l e c t more pathogens. Hence, t r a v e l l i n g on o l d e r leaves may be q u i t e r i s k y . Some i n s e c t species may avoid the r i s k s of cuing v i s u a l predators (e.g., b i r d s ) w h i l e moving by being a c t i v e only a t n i g h t (29,54). I n many h a b i t a t s t h i s would mean reducing the time a v a i l a b l e f o r feeding by one-half or t w o - t h i r d s , r e s u l t i n g i n a decrease i n growth r a t e of as much as 40 or 50% (_55,56) . Slowing the growth r a t e by t h i s much adds to the l e n g t h of time an i n s e c t i s a v a i l a b l e t o a l l r i s k s (57,58); there i s a t r a d e o f f between r e s t r i c t e d feeding and r i s k s over the l i f e t i m e of the i n s e c t as w e l l as d u r i n g each feeding bout. T h i s i s the t h i r d means by which the i n s e c t ' s exposure t o r i s k s i s increased by v a r i a b l e host q u a l i t y . These t r a d e o f f s can be d e p i c t e d g r a p h i c a l l y (Figure 2 ) . I have suggested (29) t h a t the form of expected food y i e l d d u r i n g an i n s e c t ' s f o r a g i n g among v a r i a b l e resources should be r e p r e sented by a r i s i n g , asymptotic curve i f the i n s e c t s e l e c t s some subset of t i s s u e s from those i t encounters. We can p l o t the s u r v i v o r s h i p p r o b a b i l i t y of an i n d i v i d u a l as a negative expon e n t i a l f u n c t i o n of the capture r a t e ; such a f u n c t i o n f o r a constant capture r a t e of 30% i s shown i n F i g u r e 2. A capture r a t e of 30% represents the median r a t e of removal of c a t e r p i l l a r s by b i r d s i n a n o r t h temperate f o r e s t as determined by Holmes e t a l (59), and i s a c o n s e r v a t i v e estimate f o r p a r a s i t i s m r a t e s a t moderate host d e n s i t i e s (e.g. 60). The more v a r i a b l e the leaves from which an i n s e c t must s e l e c t a meal, the lower i t s expected y i e l d over a given time i n t e r v a l (the lower y i e l d curve i n F i g u r e 2 represents 1/2 the a v a i l a b l e leaves of the upper curve, or t w i c e the v a r i a b i l i t y ) .

Figure 2. Graphical model of yield and risk accruing during foraging by a defoliating insect. Mortality from natural enemies is assumed to be constant at 30%, resulting in exponentially decreasing survivorship curve (dashed). Yield (solid lines) accumulates curvilinearly (see 29) and more rapidly when leaves are less variable (because most leaves can be consumed) than when they are highly variable (many do not contribute to the diet). For an expected yield of 1 hypothetical unit, foraging longer (because leaves are variable) reduces the probability of surviving by an amount labeled E(Y)=1 on right axis. The reduction in survivorship is much greater by the time E(Y)—2. Leaf variability decreases the probability of surviving.

The p a r a s i t o i d i n f e c t i o n r a t e i s d e r i v e d from s t u d i e s done i n Centre County, PA, under moderate gypsy moth d e n s i t i e s (60). The f l i e s begin t o o v i p o s i t on f o l i a g e when gypsy moth l a r v a e are i n the 3d i n s t a r , and the microtype eggs are consumed by l a r v a e . There i s d i f f e r e n t i a l p a r a s i t o i d s u r v i v o r s h i p i n c a t e r p i l l a r s of d i f f e r e n t i n s t a r s , and the " s u r v i v a l " curve i n F i g u r e 3 represents s u c c e s s f u l c a t e r p i l l a r k i l l s c o r r e c t e d f o r p a r a s i t o i d m o r t a l i t y i n the host. C a t e r p i l l a r dry weights are taken from a study (61) of the e f f e c t s of gypsy moth d e f o l i a t i o n on host p l a n t food q u a l i t y and l a r v a l growth. The "normal f o l i a g e " growth curve approximates the growth r a t e of gypsy moth l a r v a e on normal oak f o l i a g e through the l a s t 4 i n s t a r s . The "induced f o l i a g e " curve approximates the growth of l a r v a e on f o l i a g e from d e f o l i a t e d t r e e s (61). Development time f o r these l a r v a e i s about 4 days (3-4%) longer than i t i s f o r "normal f o l i a g e " l a r v a e (61). Most of the r e t a r d a t i o n occurs i n the f i r s t 3 i n s t a r s ; by" the 5th and 6th i n s t a r s reduced food q u a l i t y no longer depresses growth r a t e s below c o n t r o l l a r v a e (M. Montgomery, pers. comm.). As a consequence of an apparently induced change i n food q u a l i t y (probably due to increased t a n n i n contents; _38), development time i s lengthened. T h i s i n t u r n r e s u l t s i n an increase i n p a r a s i t i s m r a t e s . The d e p i c t i o n i n F i g u r e 3, although somewhat schematic, shows a decrease i n s u r v i v o r s h i p of almost 20% r e s u l t ing from a growth r a t e r e d u c t i o n of 3%. I n t e r e s t i n g l y , were growth r a t e s slowed enough, the c a t e r p i l l a r s could escape p a r a s i t i s m by t h i s f l y . B. p r a t e n s i s eggs l a s t about 2 weeks on f o l i a g e . Were development of some c a t e r p i l l a r s delayed enough, they might enter the 3d i n s t a r l a t e enough t o avoid v i a b l e p a r a s i t o i d eggs. On the other hand, the a d u l t f l i e s apparently t r a c k c a t e r p i l l a r p o p u l a t i o n development and time o v i p o s i t i o n t o c o i n c i d e w i t h entry i n t o the 3d c a t e r p i l l a r i n s t a r (60). Thus a constant m o r t a l i t y or s u s c e p t i b i l i t y , from a complex of enemies or from g e n e r a l i z e d predators or p a r a s i t e s , r e s u l t s i n a steep i n c r e a s e i n r i s k w i t h time vFigure 2). The time necessary t o accumulate m a t e r i a l s f o r growth and the l e v e l of r i s k w h i l e doing so may be increased g r e a t l y when food p l a n t q u a l i t y i s v a r i a b l e . Both s p a t i a l v a r i a b i l i t y and temporal v a r i a b i l i t y (e.g. induction) can have t h i s e f f e c t . Even when the r i s k accumulation i s slower and growth i s slowed a very small amount (as i n the f l y - g y p s y moth c a s e ) , host p l a n t v a r i a t i o n can have a major impact on exposure t o enemies (Figure 3). F i n a l l y , density-dependent m o r t a l i t y from v a r i o u s enemies may be enhanced by host p l a n t v a r i a t i o n . Again, f o c u s i n g feeding a c t i v i t i e s on a r e s t r i c t e d set of s u i t a b l e t i s s u e s should a l s o focus the a c t i v i t i e s and abundance of pathogens, p a r a s i t o i d s , and predators.

Figure 3. Relationship between growth rate of gypsy moth larvae on "normal" and "induced" foliage and mortality due to the tachinid parasite, Blepharina pratensis. Larvae grow more slowly on induced foliage and are exposed to parasitism longer. A given larval weight, X, is attained later on induced foliage, so that infection rates are higher. Hatched area accounts for larval-age specific mortality of B . pratensis; upper "survival" curve is corrected survival curve for infected larvae. In this case, a 3% decrease in growth of gypsy moth larvae results in an approximately 20% decrease in survivorship. See text for details.

experience increased contagion i n terms of m o r t a l i t y from enemies. By o c c u r r i n g p r e d i c t a b l y on p a r t i c u l a r p l a n t surfaces or i n p a r t i c u l a r l o c a t i o n s , i n s e c t s may focus the searching a c t i v i t i e s of predators and p a r a s i t e s i n a density-dependent f a s h i o n (e.g., 55,62,63). More complex, second order i n t e r a c t i o n s may be imagined, i n v o l v i n g more than one n a t u r a l enemy. For example, consider i n s e c t s t o which tannins are important d e t e r r e n t s and d i g e s t i o n i n h i b i t o r s . As mentioned above, e l e v a t e d gut pH appears to be a way of d e a l i n g w i t h t a n n i n s , since t a n n i n - p r o t e i n complexes are d i s s o c i a t e d or i n h i b i t e d a t a l k a l i n e pH (16,32). Indeed, u s i n g a model i n v i t r o system i n which hemoglobin i s employed as a p r o t e i n s u b s t r a t e , we found t h a t s e v e r a l n a t u r a l tannins and p h e n o l i c e x t r a c t s do not p r e c i p i t a t e t h i s p r o t e i n when the pH exceeds about 8.5 (Figure 3; 32); b i n d i n g i s q u i t e complete from pH 4 through 8. Although hemoglobin i s not a p l a n t p r o t e i n , i t resembles s e v e r a l p l a n t p r o t e i n s i n molecular s i z e and s o l u b i l i t y ( u n l i k e c a s e i n , f o r example) and i s a u s e f u l comparison (32). I t i s i n t e r e s t i n g t o note t h a t the s o l u b i l i t y of the c r y s t a l l i n e t o x i n of a common, important c a t e r p i l l a r pathogen, B a c i l l u s t h u r i n g i e n s i s ( B t ) , runs from j u s t over pH 8 to about pH 9.5 (64,65,66). Above pH 9.5, there i s some doubt t h a t the p r o t e i n t o x i n remains e f f e c t i v e (66). Hence, a c a t e r p i l l a r adapted f o r feeding on h i g h - t a n n i n foods i s i n a p r e c a r i o u s s i t u a t i o n , caught between i n c r e a s i n g the d i g e s t i b i l i t y of i t s food and the r i s k of pathogen " s u s c e p t i b i l i t y . The s o l u b i l i t y of the p r o t e i n coats of s e v e r a l nuclear p o l y h e d r o s i s v i r u s e s (NPV)- and hence t h e i r v i r u l e n c e i n the i n s e c t gut- ranges from pH 4.5 t o pH 8.5 (67,68). Hence t a n n i n - t o l e r a n t i n s e c t s w i t h e l e v a t e d gut pH's may be r e l a t i v e l y r e s i s t a n t t o these pathogens. According t o theory (6£,70), e a r l y s u c c e s s i o n a l p l a n t s should have low t a n n i n contents and t h e i r herbivores should have lower gut pH values (16). An emerging hypothesis would be t h a t c a t e r p i l l a r species feeding on l a t e s u c c e s s i o n a l t r e e s would be more s u s c e p t i b l e t o Bt and l e s s s u s c e p t i b l e t o NPV than are t h e i r r e l a t i v e s on e a r l i e r s u c c e s s i o n a l p l a n t s . T h i s hypothesis i s as yet untested. It could have great p r a c t i c a l importance, since these pathogens are c u r r e n t l y being developed and promoted as b i o l o g i c a l c o n t r o l agents f o r f o r e s t pests on both h i g h - t a n n i n and low-tannin t r e e species. M i c r o b i a l c h i t i n a s e has been proposed as a s y n g e r g i s t f o r Bt (71). I t s r o l e would be t o d i g e s t holes i n the i n s e c t gut w a l l and f a c i l i t a t e p e n e t r a t i o n of Bt t o x i n . However, unless the c a t e r p i l l a r ' s gut pH can be manipulated (71), t h i s i s u n l i k e l y t o be e f f e c t i v e w i t h B t , but might be f e a s i b l e w i t h NPV (Figure 4 ) . How does chemical v a r i a b i l i t y enter i n t o t h i s pH scenario? F i r s t , by c o n c e n t r a t i n g on low-tannin t i s s u e s , an i n s e c t may be able t o feed on a t r e e species w i t h h i g h average t a n n i n values w h i l e m a i n t a i n i n g a lower gut pH.

Thus any i n s e c t e x p e r i e n c i n g long p e r i o d s between meals may experience lowered gut pH and p o s s i b l e d i g e s t i b i l i t y problems when feeding begins.

But why would a c a t e r p i l l a r not feed f o r up t o 12 hours? I f s u i t a b l e food i s widely s c a t t e r e d and r i s k s of movement among f e e d i n g s i t e s are h i g h (above), many i n s e c t s may be forced t o feed only a t n i g h t (29,54). In north temperate f o r e s t s , such an i n s e c t w i l l " s t a r v e " f o r from 8 t o 14 hours. One consequence of t h i s t a c t i c may be t h a t the f i r s t meal of the evening may be very risky. Some aspects of p l a n t v a r i a t i o n could i n t e r f e r e w i t h the impact of n a t u r a l enemies. Some enemies may be unable t o a s s o c i ate m i c r o h a b i t a t cues (e.g., chemical, p h y s i c a l , c o l o r , p o s i t i o n ) w i t h prey or host l o c a t i o n . For these enemies, prey or host f e e d i n g on r e s t r i c t e d t i s s u e s w i l l tend t o appear widely spaced and they may not be r e a d i l y encountered. I t appears t o me t h a t many, i f not most, p a r a s i t o i d s and predators can be found t o use one o r more cues. T h i s negative e f f e c t could be counteracted by i n c r e a s e d encounter r a t e s d u r i n g h e r b i v o r e searching movements. The metabolic c o s t s of t r a v e l l i n g among feeding s i t e s and r e s t i n g long p e r i o d s without feeding could be t r a n s l a t e d d i r e c t l y i n t o reduced i n s e c t f e c u n d i t y (29). Were t h i s e f f e c t strong enough, i t i s conceivable t h a t i n s e c t d e n s i t i e s might be reduced d i r e c t l y . A p o s s i b l e consequence of t h i s would be reduced density-dependent m o r t a l i t y . There are no data a v a i l a b l e f o r the metabolic c o s t s of 'walking f o r i n s e c t s such as c a t e r p i l l a r s . Conclusions and Management Prospects I have argued t h a t uniform chemical defenses cannot be e v o l u t i o n a r i l y s t a b l e . For t r e e s , t h i s means they should not remain e f f e c t i v e even f o r a s i n g l e t r e e generation. But t r e e s are not uniform; they are dynamic, h i g h l y d i v e r s e h a b i t a t s and food sources f o r i n s e c t s . Although p l a n t chemistry can i n f l u e n c e n a t u r a l enemies d i r e c t l y , i t may do so i n e i t h e r p o s i t i v e o r negative f a s h i o n , and t h i s i n f l u e n c e should not remain e f f e c t i v e over e v o l u t i o n a r y time, e i t h e r .

E a r l y r e d u c t i o n i n i n s e c t d e n s i t i e s d u r i n g an outbreak through the use o f p e s t i c i d e s or a b i o l o g i c a l c o n t r o l agent a c t i n g e a r l y i n the l i f e h i s t o r y o f a p e s t l i k e the gypsy moth c o u l d reduce the impact o f c a t e r p i l l a r feeding on host t r e e s and slow o r h a l t t r e e i n d u c t i o n responses. J u s t such a s i t u a t i o n , although w i t h l i t t l e c o n s i d e r a t i o n o f the b i o l o g y o f the p a r t i c i p a n t s , has been modelled by s e v e r a l authors (73,74). As a r e s u l t o f untimely i n t e r v e n t i o n , i n t e r a c t i o n s which may n a t u r a l l y l i m i t outbreaks c o u l d be f r u s t r a t e d and a r t i f i c i a l c o n t r o l s may become necessary over extended p e r i o d s . Some b i o l o g i c a l c o n t r o l e f f o r t s may be f a u l t y or may be improved when p l a n t chemistry and v a r i a b i l i t y are taken i n t o account. For example, i t seems reasonable t o hypothesize t h a t B t may work w e l l on h i g h - t a n n i n adapted p e s t s (with e l e v a t e d gut pH), such as those f e e d i n g on l a t e s u c c e s s i o n a l o r slow-growing t r e e s p e c i e s , but i t may be l e s s e f f e c t i v e on e a r l y s u c c e s s i o n a l species o r e a r l y i n the growth season on h i g h - t a n n i n t r e e s . NPV may be more e f f e c t i v e i n e a r l y s u c c e s s i o n a l s i t u a t i o n s o r any s i t u a t i o n where t a n n i n s are not important p l a n t defenses. I n a d d i t i o n , some p l a n t chemicals may make c e r t a i n b i o l o g i c a l c o n t r o l agents l e s s e f f e c t i v e . Examples i n c l u d e p l a n t chemicals which are t o x i c t o p a r a s i t o i d s (24) and those which are a n t i b a c t e r i a l (e.g., monoterpenes i n c o n f e r s ; 26). Knowledge o f n a t u r a l v a r i a t i o n i n p l a n t chemistry c o u l d g r e a t l y a i d i n improving such c o n t r o l methods. F i n a l l y , I would suggest t h a t p l a n t v a r i a b i l i t y , genotypic and/or phenotypic, i s as important t o t r e e s as i t i s t o herbaceous s p e c i e s such as crop p l a n t s . I t should thus be as important i n t r e e p l a n t a t i o n s and f o r e s t management as i t has become i n a g r i c u l t u r e . As f o r e s t management takes on more c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s o f l a r g e s c a l e a g r i c u l t u r e , perhaps we should take a l e s s o n from the mad scramble f o r o l d "new" genes i n corn and other crops and a v o i d the mistakes i n h e r e n t i n l a r g e , uniform p l a n t a t i o n s (11,75,76). Tree defense v a r i a b i l i t y may be as important or more important than uniform r e s i s t a n c e per se. I t seems reasonable t o suggest m a i n t a i n i n g i t o r mimicking i t under i n t e n s e management c o n d i t i o n s . C e r t a i n l y , there are s u b s t a n t i a l grounds f o r c o n c e n t r a t i n g r e s e a r c h e f f o r t s on s t u d i e s o f v a r i a n c e as w e l l as means.
