Summary 1 When laying eggs, adult female Diprion pini discriminated between clones of Scots pine, Pinus sylvestris . 2 Larval survival was affected by Scots pine clone but was not correlated with oviposition preference. 3 Diprion pini laid most eggs on tougher needles of Scots pine. 4 There was no evidence to suggest that D. pini is responding to the monoterpene composition of the foliage.
