Abstract

The spatial relationships between density of Korscheltellus gracilis (Grote) larvae, canopy species, and forest structure (gaps; gap edges; dense, young tree stands; and older tree stands) were investigated. Larvae at 1,000-m elevation on Camels Hump Mountain, Huntington, VT, were associated with dense, young stands of regenerating balsam fir (Abies balsamea [L.]) and fir defining the edges of wood fern( Dryopterus campyloptera Clarkson) gaps. The consequences of these associations on life-table sampling methods and gap dynamics are discussed.
