Abstract

The effects of the trophic behavior of the larch casebearer Protocryptis sibiricella (Falkovitsh, 1964) on the existence of sustained outbreak sites were monitored in 1995–1998 in a forest-steppe larch forest of the Kuznetsk Alatau foothills. The trophic behavior of the larch casebearer (partial and multiple damage to needles, coincidence of intense feeding of adult larvae with active regeneration in the larch crown) facilitates stable resistance of trees to secondary pests even at maximum densities of the miner.
