Variation in herbivory-induced responses within successively flushing Quercus serrata seedlings under different nutrient conditions [PDF]

, 2012
Herbivore damage can induce the host plant to alter the chemical and physical qualities of its leaves, which is thought to be a plant strategy—termed “induced response”—for avoiding further herbivory.

Differences in leafminer (Phyllonorycter, Gracillariidae, Lepidoptera) and aphid (Tuberculatus, Aphididae, Hemiptera) composition among Quercus dentata, Q. crispula, Q. serrata, and their hybrids [PDF]

, 2011
Leafminer (Phyllonorycter, Gracillariidae, Lepidoptera) and aphid (Tuberculatus, Aphididae, Hemiptera) compositions were studied in three deciduous oak species, Quercus dentata, Q. crispula, and Q.

Seasonal and spatial variations in leaf nitrogen content and resorption in a Quercus serrata canopy [PDF]

Tree Physiology, 2007
To elucidate the relationships between spatiotemporal changes in leaf nitrogen (N) content and canopy dynamics, changes in leaf N and distribution in the canopy of a 26-year-old deciduous oak (Quercus serrata Thunb. ex. Murray) stand were monitored throughout the developmental sequence from leaf expansion to senescence, by estimating the leaf mass and ...

Forty‐Seven Years of Tree Census Data at the Botanical Gardens of Osaka Metropolitan University, Japan

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
The botanical gardens of Osaka Metropolitan University (OMU botanical gardens) have a unique study site, which exhibits 11 types of Japanese forests for more than 60 years. Here, we report tree census data measured at this “forest types common‐garden‐experiment” which consists of five evergreen forests, three deciduous forests, and three coniferous ...

Relative shoot height and irradiance and the shoot and leaf properties of Quercus serrata saplings [PDF]

Tree Physiology, 2006
Effects of relative shoot height and irradiance on shoot and leaf properties of Quercus serrata Thunb. saplings growing in the understory and in gaps were investigated. Photosynthetic photon flux (PPF) at the location of the shoot relative to that in the open (relative PPF; rPPF) and the height of the shoot base relative to tree height (relative height;

Allocation of nitrogen within the crown during leaf expansion in Quercus serrata saplings [PDF]

Tree Physiology, 2009
Early season leaf growth requires a large amount of nitrogen, and the amount of N provided for new leaf development has been well tested. Although shoot position within the crown strongly influences leaf properties, little is known about absorbed and remobilized nitrogen allocation in the tree crown.

Urbanization Effects on the Community Structure of Saproxylic Arthropods in Warm‐Temperate Japan

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
This study examined saproxylic arthropod communities in various landscapes, ranging from large to fragmented urban forests, and compared the structure and composition of these communities. The results showed that communities could be classified into three types based on species composition and that arthropod community types were correlated with forest ...

Seasonal variations in the nutritive value of fifteen multipurpose fodder tree species: A case study of north-western Himalayan mid-hills

PLoS ONE, 2022
Multipurpose tree species are recognized as an important fodder source for livestock, but their potential remains untapped due to dearth of knowledge about their nutritive value.

Fine root morphological traits determine variation in root respiration of Quercus serrata [PDF]

Tree Physiology, 2009
Fine root respiration is a significant component of carbon cycling in forest ecosystems. Although fine roots differ functionally from coarse roots, these root types have been distinguished based on arbitrary diameter cut-offs (e.g., 2 or 5 mm). Fine root morphology is directly related to physiological function, but few attempts have been made to ...

Sibling species of the Cotesia inducta complex (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) sympatrically parasitising heterogeneous lycaenid larvae associated with ants

Entomological Science, Volume 29, Issue 3, September 2026.
Three sibling parasitoid wasps of the Cotesia inducta (Braconidae) complex attack ant‐associated lycaenid larvae in Japan. Species differ in host range, seasonal host use and feeding habitat. Differences in host‐feeding habitat may contribute to diversification within the Cotesia inducta complex. Abstract Approximately 75% of lycaenid butterfly species
