  • Leaf-Mining Insects and Their Parasitoids in Relation to Plant Succession

    Leaf-Mining Insects and Their Parasitoids in Relation to Plant Succession

    Leaf-mining Insects and their Parasitoids in relation to Plant Succession by Hugh Charles Jonathan Godfray A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London and for the Diploma of Membership of Imperial College. Department of Pure and Applied Biology Imperial College at Silwood Park Silwood Park Ascot Berkshire SL5 7PY November 1982 Abstract In this project, the changes in the community of leaf-miners and their hymenopterous parasites were studied in relation to plant succession. Leaf-miners are insects that spend at least part of their larval existence feeding internally within the leaf. The leaf-miners attacking plants over a specific successional sequence at Silwood Park, Berkshire, U.K. were studied, and the changes in taxonomic composition, host specialization, phenology and absolute abundance were examined in the light of recent theories of plant/insect-herbivore interactions. Similar comparisons were made between the leaf-miners attacking mature and seedling birch. The factors influencing the number of species of miner found on a particular type of plant were investigated by a multiple regression analysis of the leaf-miners of British trees and plant properties such as geographical distribution, taxonomic relatedness to other plants and plant size. The results are compared with similar studies on other groups and a less rigorous treatment of herbaceous plants. A large number of hymenopterous parasites were reared from dipterous leaf-mines on early successional plants. The parasite community structure is compared with the work of R.R.Askew and his associates on the parasites of tree leaf-miners. The Appendices include a key to British birch leaf-miners and notes on the taxonomy and host range of the reared parasites.
