AB  - Genetic variability of trees influences the chemical composition of tissues. This determines herbivore impact and, consequently, herbivore performance. We evaluated the independent effects of plant genotype and provenance on the tannin content of holm oak (Quercus ilex) and their consequences for herbivory and performance of gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar) larvae. Oak seedlings of 48 open-pollinated families from six populations were grown in a common garden in central Spain. Half the plants were subjected to defoliation by gypsy moth larvae and the other half were destructively sampled for chemical analysis. Tannin content of leaves did not differ significantly among populations but differed significantly among families. Estimates of heritability (h(2)) and quantitative genetic differentiation among populations for tannin content (Q(ST)) were 0.83 and 0.12, respectively. Defoliation was not related to the tannin content of plants nor to spine and trichome densities of leaves, although positive family-mean associations were observed between defoliation and both seed weight and plant height (P  lt  0.003). Among the oak populations, differential increase in larval weight gain with defoliation was observed. Leaf tannin content in Q. ilex is genetically controlled but does not influence defoliation or predict performance of the larvae. Different efficiencies of food utilisation depending on the oak genotypes indicate that other plant traits are influencing the feeding patterns and fitness of L. dispar and consequent population dynamics.
