Abstract
Colonizing, intermediate, and older aged parasite communities remained similar in differing aged stands. Percent parasitism roughly corresponded to population reduction in the following generation of tip moth. Lixophaga mediocris , Campoplex frustranae and Eurytoma pini were the dominant parasites. Trees ca. 2 m or with 4 distinct whorls have a lower rate of attack by tip moth. Mechanism for the lower attack rate are suggested.Keywords
