Abstract
⺠We model population dynamics of the forest tent caterpillar (FTC) and parasitoid. ⺠We determine how stress may alter demographic parameters of each insect. ⺠We monitor how such changes affect intensity or frequency of forest defoliation. ⺠We find certain parameters altered length, frequency or intensity of defoliation. ⺠We find parasitoid efficiency most effective in altering FTC forest defoliation.
