Impact of Tent Caterpillar Defoliation on the Reproductive Success of Black-capped Chickadees’
Outbreaks of folivorous Lepidoptera caterpillars are common in temperate forests (Ives and Wong 1988, Butterworth 1990). The high fat content, low chitin content, and large size of these larvae make them an important component of the diet of many temperate birds (Betts 1955, Robinson and Holmes 1982, Holmes and Schultz 1988, Sample et. al. 1993). Outbreaks of most species should increase availa...

متن کاملThe Mare Reproductive Loss Syndrome and the Eastern Tent Caterpillar II: A Toxicokinetic/Clinical Evaluation and a Proposed Pathogenesis: Septic Penetrating Setae
Reviewing the mare reproductive loss syndrome (MRLS), it is proposed that the fundamental mechanism of this syndrome, which includes early fetal loss, late fetal loss, uveitis, pericarditis, and encephalitis, is tissue penetration by septic barbed setal fragments (septic penetrating setae) from Eastern tent caterpillars (Malacosoma americanum). Once ingested, these barbed setal fragments migrat...
متن کاملThe Mare Reproductive Loss Syndrome (MRLS) and the Eastern Tent Caterpillar: Immunological Testing of Aborting Mares
Mare reproductive loss syndrome (MRLS) describes a condition of equine early-term and late-term fetal losses in which the etiology has not been fully characterized. Involvement of Eastern tent caterpillars (ETC) has been highly considered because oral administration of ETC rapidly induces abortion in pregnant mares. Pathologic lesions observed in placental and fetal tissues of horses with chara...
متن کاملLife History and Age-Specific Mortality of Eastern Tent Caterpillar (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae)
Malacosoma americanum (F.) (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae) was recently implicated in early fetal losses and late-term abortions of pregnant mares in the thoroughbred and saddlebred industry centered in central Kentucky. The direct role of the caterpillars in these losses prompted the need for a more thorough understanding of life history and age-speciÞc biology, to develop more precise management...
