"If #OakTrees are heavily infested by #caterpillars, they react to this the following spring: they delay their leaf emergence by three days... This strategy is highly effective: the three-day delay is sufficient to drastically reduce the #insectsโ€™ survival rate. It reduces the damage caused by feeding on the #tree by 55%."
