..., 1991), although conifers can respond to damages within a few hours (Ralph et al., 2006; Sampedro et al., 2011)....

...In general, the application of MeJA reduced the feeding on the bark of conifer plants, but the efficiency of the treatment is plant species and concentration dependent (Moreira et al., 2009; Sampedro et al., 2011; Zas et al., 2014)....

...Additionally, the efficiency of treatments for plant protection has been tested (Heijari et al., 2005; Moreira et al., 2009; Sampedro et al., 2011; Paper III)....

...The effects of MeJA-induced defence in conifers on the damages caused by the pine weevil have been studied in several publications during the past years (e.g. Heijari et al., 2005; Sampedro et al., 2011; Zas et al., 2014)....

...Feeding rates are also variable for migratory locust, the first instar of the American bird grasshopper and the Australian sheep blowfly while their meal durations are constant; unless meals are very large (Simpson et al., 1988; Simpson et al., 1989; Chapman & Beerling, 1990)....

...There are relatively few previous studies on insects’ short-term feeding behaviour that use a meal criterion (Bowdan, 1988b; Simpson et al., 1988; 11 Simpson et al., 1989; Raubenheimer & Bernays, 1993; Bright et al., 1994; Mitchell & Low, 1994; Wright et al., 1999; Jones & Raubenheimer, 2002;…...

...In addition, females had a lower feeding rate on MeJA-induced plants (Paper III), which is either due to a slower food intake or an increase in the time spent in intrameal intervals (Simpson et al., 1989; Colasurdo et al., 2007)....

...Other insects have been shown to have either both a significant pre- and post-prandial correlation (Colorado potato beetle and migratory locust), a significant pre- but no post-prandial correlation (Australian sheep blowfly, tobacco hornworm caterpillar, American bird grasshopper) or a significant post- but no pre-prandial correlation (Costa Rican weevil) (Simpson, 1982; Reynolds et al., 1986; Simpson & Ludlow, 1986; Bowdan, 1988b; Bowdan, 1988a; Simpson et al., 1989; Chapman & Beerling, 1990; Mitchell & Low, 1994; Wright et al., 1999)....

...On the other hand, the short time between girdling and weevil exposer chosen in the current study also represents the naturally occurring situation for plants established on clear cuts (Nordlander, 1991; Björklund et al., 2005)....

...Walking weevils take advantage of both visual and olfactory cues to locate conifer plants (Björklund et al., 2005)....

...The shortest non-feeding interval considered to be between two meals is called meal criterion (Tolkamp et al., 2011)....

...This statistical approach has been developed in recent years and takes into consideration that feeding is not started at random (Tolkamp et al., 1998; Tolkamp et al., 2011)....

...Insect meal criteria have so far been determined based on log-survivorship or log-frequency analysis (e.g. Sibly et al., 1990; Mitchell & Low, 1994; Tolkamp et al., 1998; Tolkamp et al., 2011)....
