Other claims from this paper (19)
- Association Coffee leafminer incidence increased with leaf nitrogen content and age.
- Association Coffee leafminers grew larger on moderate nitrogen leaves than low or high nitrogen leaves.
- Association Coffee leafminers developed faster on moderate nitrogen leaves.
- Association Coffee leafminers survived better on moderate nitrogen leaves.
- Association Coffee leafminers performed better on tough than soft leaves.
- Observation Oviposition preference did not generally favor leaves that maximized offspring performance.
- Association Coffee leafminer incidence was higher in rainy than dry seasons.
- Association Shade cover reduced ambient temperatures in coffee farms.
- Association Shade cover had no significant association with coffee leafminer incidence.
- Observation The predator complex comprised 16 morphospecies, about 88% ants.
- Observation Predators contributed over 58% of coffee leafminer real mortality.
- Association Coffee leafminer predation was higher at high than low elevation.
- Association Coffee leafminer predation was higher under high than low rainfall.
- Observation Predation was the main coffee leafminer mortality source year round and peaked in rainy season.
- Method / resource The Neotropical coffee leafminer parasitoid list included 23 Eulophidae species and seven Braconidae species.
- Observation Twenty-two larval parasitoid morphospecies were collected in Chiapas, with no egg or pupal parasitoids recovered.
- Observation Parasitism accounted for under 10% of coffee leafminer real mortality.
- Association Parasitism was 8 to 10 times higher at low than high elevation and was not significantly related to temperature or rainfall.
- Observation Coffee leafminer mostly oviposited at night and less under low temperatures; cooler high elevation nights may help explain lower incidence.
