Plant phenotype affects oviposition behaviour of pine processionary moth and egg survival at the southern edge of its range

Morphological traits of Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis) needles in native and planted stands at the southern edge of its range influence oviposition behaviour of the pine processionary moth (Thaumetopoea pityocampa). Extreme environmental conditions result in a reduction in needle size of the host pl...
