This paper presents a review of publications on the relationship between the phyllophagous insects and the forest communities in the current ecological situation, when ongoing climate changes, manifested primarily in an increase in the air temperature and a change in the precipitation amount and distribution, affect all processes in natural communi...
Specific leaf area (SLA; one‐sided leaf area per unit of dry mass) is a key trait indicating plant growth strategy and its responses to changing environments. Despite its high relevance for ecological research and recent efforts to mobilize the trait data, information on SLA in many plant lineages and biogeographic regions is still underrepresented...
We review the specificity of early and late phenological types of pedunculate oak differing in the spring flushing of leaves, namely, its occurrence in topographical elements, soil conditions and hydrology, responses to weather, and vulnerability to unfavorable factors. We show that phenological forms differ in a set of morphological and physiologi...
Our long-term observations in the Tellerman oak forest (Voronezh region) have shown that in recent decades due to climate change there have been significant changes in population dynamics of many phyl-lophagous insects. It is established that the growth processes of absorbing mycorrhizal roots of oak are closely related to the state of foliage in t...
The study overviews contemporary investigations on Operophtera brumata L. and its outbreak series in the oak stands of the southern forest-steppe zone over the recent 60 years. Autumnal flight of the moth has been studied.
We show that the population ecology of the 9‐ to 10‐year cyclic, broadleaf‐defoliating winter moth ( Operophtera brumata ) and other early‐season geometrids cannot be fully understood on a local scale unless population behaviour is known on a European scale.
Qualitative and quantitative data on O. brumata outbreaks were obtained from published sour...
