摘要

We examined relative effects of traits of leaf quality of ten willow species (Salix: Salicaceae) on growth rates of five species of insect herbivores found in interior Alaska (a willow sawfly,Nematus calais; the tiger swallowtail butterfly,Papilio canadensis; and three species of chrysomelid beetles,Gonioctena occidentalis, Calligrapha verrucosa, andChrysomela falsa). Leaf traits examined were water content, toughness, total nitrogen contnet, pubescence, and presence or absence of phenolic glycosides. Of tenSalixspecies, four species contain phenolic glycosides in their leaves. We examined relative effects of water content, toughness, and nitrogen content of theSalixleaves on larval growth rates at three different levels, i.e., on a single host species, between different host species, and between herbivore species. The within-host analyses showed that effects of water content, toughness and/or nitrogen content on herbivore growth rates were generally significant in early-season herbivores but not in late-season herbivores. For each herbivore species, differences in growth rates between hosts were not explained by differences in water content, toughness, or nitrogen content. The between-herbivore analysis showed that the interspecific difference in larval growth rates were related to difference in water and nitrogen content of the hosts. Pubescence ofSalixleaves had little effects on herbivore growth rates. Presence of phenolic glycosides had a positive effects on growth rates of a specialist,N. calais, but no effect on the other specialist,Ch. falsa. Presence of phenolic glycosides had, in general, negative effects on growth rates of nonspecialists,G. occidentalis, C. verrucosa, andP. canadensis.
