Why do the green leaves fall off of your oak trees in the summer?

Leaves of an oak tree fall off during summer because the oak tree is trying to save the water and minerals of the tree. i.e. the tree is trying to reduce the amount of transpiration which takes place through heavy sunlight. So by getting rid of leaves the amount of transpiration reduces and the oak tree won't die.

How does the production of acorns by oak trees affect Lyme disease in humans?

That the arachnid and mammalian vectors are more controllable during low-output years and more persistent during high-output years describes the effect of acorn production by oak trees on Lyme disease incidence in humans. The black-legged tick (Ixodes pacificus and I. scapularis), the main vector for Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi), lives off white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus). The white-footed mice, along with chipmunks and deer, relish oak (Quercus spp) tree-produced acorns and will attract greater numbers of the corkscrew-shaped bacteria spirochete-carrying, hitch-hiking arachnids during bumper years of nut production.

Do live oak trees have whorled leaves?

They shouldn't. Whorled leaves would all have their petioles attached at the same level on the branch. Although oak leaves are called "alternate," implying that every other leaf petiole is attached on the opposite side of the twig or branch from the one above, it's not quite that simple. Oak leaves generally are arranged so they attach at one of five locations if the twig or branch is viewed end-on. From a distance this arrangement can appear whorled, but if you look closely from the side you'll see that the attachment points for the leaf petioles are at different levels along the twig (this becomes clearer away from the growing tip).
