- Abstract
An outbreak of the larch bud moth ( Zeiraphera diniana Guenée) occurred from 1988 to 1993 on Pinus pumila [(Pall.) Regel] on Kamchatka Peninsula while the sympatric Larix gmelinii [(Rupr.) Litv.] remained unattacked. This first major outbreak of Z. diniana ever observed and reported on an evergreen host in Siberia and North East Asia is discussed in the larger context of its population dynamics throughout the Palaearctic. The complex interactions between site-, host plant- and insect-characteristics in conjunction with climatic release allows us to explain this unique event in a conventional manner:
