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.

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 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.

Miscellaneous Crops 2: Leaf-Miners

1973
Of the 20 species discussed below, 19 are host specific to a single plant family. The only exception is Liriomyza brassicae (Riley), which has occasionally been found on Pisum. Crops affected belong to the families Chenopodiaceae, Compositae, Cruciferae, Labiatae, Liliaceae, Rosaceae, Solanaceae and Umbelliferae.

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.

Perfect is best: low leaf fluctuating asymmetry reduces herbivory by leaf miners

Oecologia, 2004
Fluctuating asymmetry (FA) represents small, random variation from symmetry and can be used as an indicator of plant susceptibility to herbivory. We investigated the effects of FA of two oak species, Quercus laevis and Q. geminata, and the responses of three herbivore guilds: leaf miners, gallers, and chewers. To examine differences in FA and herbivory

Apparent competition between the invasive horse-chestnut leaf miner and indigenous leaf miners

2007
The horse-chestnut leaf miner, Cameraria ohridella Deschka and Dimic, is a moth of unknown origin that was first observed in Macedonia in 1984 and has now invaded most of Europe. It is now attacked by several native leaf miners' parasitoids. Despite the low parasitism rates observed in C.

Leguminous Crops 2: Leaf-Miners

1973
The species discussed below have hosts in the following 11 genera of Leguminosae: Cicer, Desmodium, Glycine, Lathyrus, Medicago, Melilotus, Pisum, Pueraria, Trifolium, Vicia and Vigna. Most of the species concerned are oligophagous and, as with the internal feeders considered in the previous chapter, are treated systematically, rather than by crops ...

Birch Leaf Miner Control, Michigan, 1990

Insecticide and Acaricide Tests, 1991
Abstract Plots consisting of clumps of birch trees were established at a 40-yr-old abandoned tree farm at Section 4, Carmel Township in Eaton Co. The trees were in clumps of 2-5 stems (1-3 inches) in diam and were 12-20 ft high. Each treatment was replicated 6 times. NTN 33893 2.5 G was applied on 27 Apr. For each 1 inch of trunk diam at
