Responses of Alder and Willow to Attack by Tent Caterpillars and Webworms: Evidence for Pheromonal Sensitivity of Willows
Abstract
Red alder ( Alnus rubra ) and Sitka willow ( Salix sitchensis ) trees subjected to attack by tent caterpillars ( Malacosoma californicum pluviale ) or webworms ( Hyphantria cunea ), respectively, exhibited a change in foliage quality such that bioassay insects fed leaves from the attacked trees grew more slowly than those fed leaves from unattacked control trees. In contrast, bioassay of leaf quality of S . sitchensis, subjected to attack by tent caterpillars, indicated that altered leaf quality had been induced not only in the attacked trees but also in nearby unattacked control trees. This suggests that S . sitchensis is sensitive to and can respond to signals generated by attacked trees or the caterpillars. Since no evidence was found for root connections between attacked and control willows, the message may be transferred through airborne pheromonal substances.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
