Abstract
Younger plants tend to be more susceptible than older plants to damage caused both by feeding and by viruses. The impact of any change in aphid phenology will depend on the direction and extent of changes in host plant phenology. If changes in host plant phenology exactly mirror changes in aphid phenology, damage may be unchanged. Higher trophic levels are also important considerations. Changes in the synchrony of aphids and their natural enemies, or their competitors, will be determinants of aphid dynamics and damage. This chapter deals only with the aphid component, and utilises the long-term data from the UK network of suction traps operated by the Rothamsted Insect Survey.
