Table 1. --Summary of multivariate and univariate ANOVAs of herbiv<strong>or</strong>e densities on S. sericea, S. eriocephala, and hybrid<br />

plants f<strong>or</strong> 1991, 1992, and 1993. F-values and degrees of freedom are shown f<strong>or</strong> the univariate tests. Contrast A was<br />

considered significant if its P value was less than the Bonferroni criterion of P < 0.025. F-values f<strong>or</strong> the multivariate<br />

ANOVAs are based on Wilks' lambda (other tests gave similar results). Herbiv<strong>or</strong>e species are grouped by feeding<br />

guild.<br />

these years, densities on S. sericea and hybrids were equal and lower than on S. eriocephala. In 1992, however, the Hybrid<br />

Resistance hypothesis was supp<strong>or</strong>ted. Mite gall density on hybrid plants was significantly lower than on S. sericea. It should<br />

be noted, however, that in all three years the numbers of mite galls were lower on the hybrid plants than on the nearest parent.<br />

F<strong>or</strong> the leaf folding guild, LF supp<strong>or</strong>ted the Additive hypothesis in all years (Tables 1 & 2), but the first contrast was<br />

marginally significant in 1991 (Table 1). Species V supp<strong>or</strong>ted the Hybrid Susceptibility hypothesis in 1991, but the Additive<br />

hypothesis was supp<strong>or</strong>ted in 1992 and 1993 (Tables 1 & 2).<br />

In the stem galling guild, both R. rigidae and R. salicisbrassicoides supp<strong>or</strong>ted the Additive hypothesis consistently in<br />

each year (Tables 1 & 2), but densities of R. salicisbrassicoides in 1992 were marginally significant f<strong>or</strong> the first contrast,<br />

nearly supp<strong>or</strong>ting the Dominance hypothesis.<br />

Seven of the 11 herbiv<strong>or</strong>e species showed significant changes in the hypotheses that were supp<strong>or</strong>ted between years.<br />

In five of the seven cases, densities of the herbiv<strong>or</strong>es had declined between the years of the change; in two cases densities had<br />

increased <strong>or</strong> there was little change. Lower herbiv<strong>or</strong>e densities, theref<strong>or</strong>e, might have contributed to the changes in which<br />

hypotheses were supp<strong>or</strong>ted.<br />
