“…Many primates, including Chiropotes spp., are also known to eat buds (stem, leaf, and flower) and flowers (Boyle et al, 2012; Di Fiore et al, 2008; Felton et al, 2008; Gregory, 2011; Russo et al, 2005). Given the ubiquity of bud‐borers (Hanover, 1975; Sugiura & Yamazaki, 2009), and the often extensive presence of larval insects in budding and open leaves (Liu et al, 2015), and flowers (e.g., Barnett et al, 2020 for Eschweilera tenuifolia , Lecythidaceae), it is possible that covert carnivory occurs here too. Along with observing insectivory on 18 occasions over a year‐long study of Chiropotes sagulatus , Gregory (2011) observed frequent (101 bouts) consumption of Lecythidaceae flowers, and found that most of the fallen flowers inspected on the ground were infested with a variety of insect larvae.…”

Beans with bugs: Covert carnivory and infested seed selection by the red‐nosed cuxiú monkey

Members of the Neotropical primate genus Chiropotes eat large volumes of immature seeds. However, such items are often low in available proteins, and digestion of seeds is further inhibited by tannins. This suggests that overall plant‐derived protein intake is relatively low. We examined the presence of insect larvae in partially eaten fruits, compared with intact fruit on trees, and examined fecal pellets for the presence of larvae. We found that red‐nosed cuxiú (Chiropotes albinasus) individuals may supplement their limited seed‐derived protein intake by ingesting seed‐inhabiting insects. Comparison of fruits partially eaten for their seeds with those sampled directly from trees showed that fruits with insect‐containing seeds were positively selected in 20 of the 41 C. albinasus diet items tested, suggesting that fruits with infested seeds are actively selected by foraging animals. We found no differences in accessibility to seeds, that is, no differences in husk penetrability between fruits with infested and uninfested seeds excluding the likelihood that insect‐infestation results in easier access to the seeds in such fruits. Additionally, none of the C. albinasus fecal samples showed any evidence of living pupae or larvae, indicating that infesting larvae are digested. Our findings raise the possibility that these seed‐predating primates might provide net benefits to the plant species they feed on, since they feed from many species of plants and their actions may reduce the populations of seed‐infesting insects. Abstract in Portuguese is available with online material.

“…The larvae of Calliprora leucaenae do not kill lead trees, but they could affect the photosynthetic efficiency and cause an early drop of leaves, as do many leaf miner species (Maier 1983;Schaffer et al 1997;Liu et al 2015). Further studies on seasonal occurrence of larvae and annual impacts on plants should be performed to determine its suitability as a possible biological control agent.…”

A new Calliprora species mining lead trees in Florida (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)

Calliprora leucaenae sp. nov. is described infesting foliage of Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit. in Florida, USA. The larvae are blotch-miners and leaf-tiers and are capable of heavy damage to host plants. Photographs of the adult, wing venation, male and female genitalia and illustrations of the larval and pupal chaetotaxy are provided. Calliprora Meyrick is transferred to Thiotrichinae, as the species in the genus exhibit typical characters of the subfamily such as the presence of anellus lobes, a large sternum VIII, and a reduced male tergum VIII. Comparative diagnoses of the morphology and ecology are presented for the newly described species and other thiotrichine species.

“…The majority of studies dealing with leaf miner effects on host plants are performed on woody plants, mainly trees, and agricultural plants and focus on plant species that occur the whole year round (Liu et al 2015). According to published studies, it seems that the effect on photosynthesis is highly dependent on the life-form of the plant and the morphology and anatomy of the leaf, e.g.…”

Ecophysiological Effects Induced by an Oligophagous Insect Herbivore in an Early Spring Geophyte

Insect herbivores, whose larval stages live and feed inside a plant leaf, are expected to have an impact on the leaf beyond the actual tissue damage. They might influence leaf photosynthesis. Here, we provide a brief insight by studying a simple model relationship between the spring geophyte ramsons Allium ursinum with short-lived green leaves and its oligophagous, leaf-mining hoverfly Cheilosia fasciata. We expected that the effect of leaf miners on short-lived leaves could interfere with resource allocation for the next season. Measurements of leaf greenness and chlorophyll fluorescence were performed to evaluate the stress impact of leaf miner damage upon photosynthesis during the short vegetative season of ramsons. Results showed that the onset of leaf senescence occurred earlier in infested leaves, which was also indicated by lower maximum efficiency of photochemistry compared to non-infested leaves. There was no evidence that infested leaves were able to compensate for the damage by increasing the rate of photosynthesis. Given the short lifespan of leaves and the earlier onset of senescence in infested leaves, we discuss two differential hypotheses: negative effects for the plant if the larvae have already left the mine, and negative effects for the leaf miner if the larvae are still developing inside the leaf.
