Explain from science how mulching will aid in the control of gypsy moth,

He didn't say that. He said that turf was bad for black walnut and
gypsy moth was just an annoyance. However, fall webworm is not gypsy
moth.

You must have missed the past few years of the yard boy recommending
mulching for every possible condition or conditions of trees.

Sure salvage logging deforestation person staples. When most tree problems
are trouble in the rhizosphere than mulching could be the answer for many
problems if done correctly. I would not expect Don Staples to have a clue.
his specialty is wood products and not tree biology. He actually says that
removing all wood and cellulose is restoration of a forest. I strongly
disagree as well as many other tree people.

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.
Some people will buy products they do not understand and not buy books that
will give them understanding.
