- •
Weevil species coexisting in a mixed oak forest show specificity among acorn species.
- •
Acorn size differed among oak species and larval size differed among weevil species.
- •
Acorn size drives the outcomes of the interaction for larvae and seedlings.
- •
Acorn size constrains larval growth just in the larger weevil species.
- •
Weevil specificity does not match the optimal predicted by acorn – weevil sizes.
