Abstract

Phyllophagous insects are an integral component of forest biogeocenoses and play an important role in their functioning. Some phyllophagous species have periodical mass propagation outbreaks, exerting a great direct and indirect influence on forest stands. In cases when severe damage to foliage is caused repeatedly, they sometimes lead to the death of trees and whole stands. A review has been carried out, encompassing the studies of phyllophagous insects in oak groves of the Tellerman forest massif over several decades (mainly in the Tellerman experimental forestry division of the Institute of Forest Science of the Russian Academy of Sciences), regarding the confinement of aforementioned insects to forest types and phenological forms of common oak. This study therefore presents the features of several reproduction outbreaks of three species of phyllophagous insects – winter moth, gypsy moth and green oak leaf roller, recorded on the territory of the forestry division during its existence.
