First report of leafminer Lyriomyza spp. in Daucus carota in Brazil
(Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2017)
Effects of urbanisation on the parasitoid community of a leafminer
(Elsevier Masson, 2009-01)
Urbanisation may have detrimental effects on communities of parasitoids, affecting their species richness, abundance, and species dominance. Here we investigated the influence of the degree of urbanisation on parasitoid ...
Microclimatic edge effects in a fragmented forest: disentangling the drivers of ecological processes in plant-leafminer-parasitoid food webs
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-10)
In forest fragments, microclimatic conditions differ between interior andforest edges and also vary with geographical orientation. These microclimatic variationscould affect plant-insect food webs and the ecological processes ...
Differential effects of experience on feeding and ovipositing preferences of a polyphagous leafminer
(Wiley, 2010-11)
Host preferences of phytophagous insects, although generally showing a strong hereditary component, can be modified by experience. Here we aim to elucidate the relative roles of larval and adult experience on host plant ...
Parasitism of a leafminer pest in managed and natural habitats
(Elsevier Science, 2005-09)
Parasitic assemblages of Liriomyza huidobrensis were analysed in relation to natural, urban and cultivated habitats through experimental and comparative methodologies. The field experiment consisted in placing potted plants ...
Leafminer parasitoids and pest management. Literature review.
(Pontificia Universidad Católica Chile, 2007-12)
Leafminers are insects whose larvae live and feed within plant leaves, consuming mesophyll tissue without damaging the leaf epidermis. Several species are considered serious pests on intensive, horticultural, and ornamental ...
A tritrophic analysis of host preference and performance in a polyphagous leafminer
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2006-11)
The optimal oviposition theory predicts that oviposition preferences of phytophagous insects should correlate with host suitability for their offspring. As plant host suitability depends not only on its quality as food, ...
Natural mortality factors of tomato leafminer Tuta absoluta in open-field tomato crops in South America
(Pest Management Science, 2019)
Edge effects on insect-plant food webs: Assessing the influence of geographical orientation and microclimatic conditions
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-02)
1. Geographical orientation affects the magnitude of microclimatic edge effects, mainly by altering the exposure to solar radiation. There is considerable evidence about the influence of microclimatic edge effects on ...
