We studied within-tree variaton in density and mortality of the leaf miner, Cameraria sp. nov., on Emory oak. Miner densities were lower in the peripheral than the central parts of trees. Following tagged mined and unmined leaves revealed that peripheral leaves fall sooner than central leaves and that more Cameraria mining peripheral leaves die due to abscission than those mining central leaves. We discuss factors that might influence interactions between leaf miners and abscission of the host-leaves they attack.
我们研究了埃默里栎树上新种潜叶虫 Cameraria sp. nov. 的密度和死亡率在树内的变化。潜叶虫密度在树的外围低于中部。追踪标记的被潜叶和未被潜叶的叶子发现，外围叶子比中部叶子掉落得更早，并且比起在中部叶子上潜叶的潜叶虫，在树外围叶子上潜叶的潜叶虫因脱落而死亡的更多。我们讨论了可能影响潜叶虫与其所侵害的寄主叶片脱落之间相互作用的因素。
