Leaf fall as a source of leaf miner mortality

Oecologia, 1984
Leaf miner deaths resulting from the death of their leaves were assessd by collecting falling leaves of holm oak and beech. The Phyllonorycter mines thus captured were examined to ascertain the cause of death. For both mining species the mortality from leaf shedding accounted for less than 2.8% of the mining cohorts.

Deer predation on leaf miners via leaf abscission

Naturwissenschaften, 2007
The evergreen oak Quercus gilva Blume sheds leaves containing mines of the leaf miner Stigmella sp. (Lepidoptera: Nepticulidae) earlier than leaves with no mines in early spring in Nara, central Japan. The eclosion rates of the leaf miner in abscised and retained leaves were compared in the laboratory to clarify the effects of leaf abscission on leaf ...

Responses of leaf miners to atypical leaf production patterns

Ecological Entomology, 1984
Abstract. 1. Larvae of two bivoltine species of leaf‐mining Lepidop‐tera, Acrocercops sp. and Neurobathra strigifinitella (Clem.), restrict feeding to young, second‐flush leaves of their host trees in north Florida.

Leaf miners: The hidden herbivores

Austral Ecology, 2010
AbstractLeaf mining is a form of endophagous herbivory in which insect larvae live and feed within leaf tissue. In this review we discuss aspects of leaf miner ecology, and the current evidence for three hypotheses relating to the evolution of this feeding guild.

Beet leaf miner

1992
The beet leaf miner is the maggot of the sugar beet and spinach in northern Europe. mangold (or mangel) fly (Pegomya hyoscyami (Panzer)) and is a well-known pest of mangel, sugar beet and spinach in northern Europe. The adult is a true fly and should not be confused with the mangold flea beetle (see page 174), which is also sometimes called ‘fly’.

Plant virus transmission by a leaf-miner fly

Virology, 1958
Abstract Transmission of tobacco mosaic virus and sowbane mosaic virus was obtained by means of adult leaf-miner flies of the species Liriomyza langei Frick. This seems to be the first reported case of virus transmission by an insect of this group. The results indicate that the relationship of the transmitted viruses and the vector is of a mechanical

Insects as leaf engineers: can leaf‐miners alter leaf structure for birch aphids?

Functional Ecology, 2002
Summary This study examined the indirect impacts of leaf‐mining insects, Eriocrania spp. Zeller (Lepidoptera: Eriocraniidae) on a phloem‐feeding insect, Euceraphis betulae Koch (Homoptera: Drepanosiphinae). While many insect herbivores affect one another through changes to host plant chemical composition, Eriocrania also has the potential to affect E.

Leaf miners of chrysanthemum

1992
Leaf miners are often found on chrysanthemums and related plants. Normally, these leaf miners are native insects, belonging to the species known as the chrysanthemum leaf miner (Phytomyza syngenesiae (Hardy)), which is a common pest widely distributed throughout the British Isles.
