“…Mazanec ( 1983) suggested that ovipositing females were sensitive to leaf age and directed oviposition effort to areas where new leaves were abundant. Contrary to this, Abbott et al (1994) found no significant difference between ground coppice and pole crowns in number of mines per leaf despite differences in leaf qualities which would be expected to favour females selecting leaves in pole crowns. Mazanec ( 1983) found that the number of eggs laid on leaves at a site was on average less than that expected from potential fecundity and that variability in numbers of eggs laid was about ten times greater than the variability in potential fecundity.…”

Population densities of jarrah leafminer Perthida glyphopa in adjoining areas of jarrah Eucalyptus marginata forest in southwest Western Australia were monitored before and after autumn and spring fires, then compared to examine the effect of fire season and intensity. Densities of leafminer were reduced in tree canopies and on ground coppice after autumn fire scorched the host canopies. Densities of larval mines on ground coppice increased by the second spring after an autumn fire. Numbers of mines on leaves returned to levels indistinguishable from pre-fire values by the second autumn after fire. Leafminer populations on ground coppice appeared unaffected by a spring fire. Mechanisms that may account for observed differences between the effects of spring and autumn fires are discussed. Managed fires are not considered a practical tool for control of leafminer populations.

“…These results suggest that there exists a predictable spatial structure in the distribution of foliage arthropods in the trees sampled by Abbott et al (1992). Their significant regression between dissimilarity and distance, although technically invalid because of the interdependence of elements in triangular matrices and the presence of spatial autocorrelation in the data, is supported by the overall Mantel test.…”

“…Given the observed patch size of approximately 20 km, the study reported by Abbott et al (1992) could be expected to encompass at most approximately six complete such patches (3x2 patches = 60 X 40 km). We must therefore emphasize that our estimate of patch size is approximate, being based on a relatively small sample of patches.…”

Analysis of the spatial pattern of arthropod fauna of jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata) foliage using a Mantel correlogram

The results of a two year study of foliage arthropods in Eucalyptus marginata canopies by Abbott et al. led them to conclude that distance was unimportant in explaining the similarity of foliage arthropod faunas. However, that conclusion was based on an analysis that did not account for the lack of independence between sample points. Re-analysis of their data using a Mantel correlogram detected significant spatial pattem in resemblance between canopy faunas, consistent with a patch size of about 20 km.

Eucalypts ( Eucalyptus , Corymbia and Angophora ), as native stands and as plantations, dominate the two Mediterranean forest regions of Australia. These two geographically separated regions -south-western Australia, and areas of South Australia, including the Green Triangle region around the southern South Australian/ Victorian border -have likewise largely separate native insect species, in spite of a common, albeit non-endemic, resource ( E. globulus plantations). Almost half a million hectares of E. globulus and around 300,000 ha of softwoods is planted in Mediterranean Australia. Native defoliators have been largely unproblematic in pine plantations, but many have achieved signifi cant pest status in hardwood plantations. Defoliators in native forest are less well-known, but there are several examples of species that have been studied in detail. Eucalypts typically receive (and tolerate) relatively high levels of defoliation, and have a diverse array of phytophagous insect fauna from several Orders (Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera and Orthoptera) feeding on their foliage, despite it being sclerophyllous and high in plant secondary compounds. Here, we provide an overview of the endemic folivores of Mediterranean forests in Australia.
