Leaf herbivory in Eugenia sulcata Springex Mart. (Myrtaceae) in a Native Field of Reserva Natural Vale, Linhares, ES, Brazil
Abstract
The leaf herbivory study of Eugenia sul-cata Spring ex Mart. (Myrtaceae) was made at Reserva Natural Vale (RNV), Linhares (ES). When the herbivory pattern was investigated, a correlation be-tween herbivory and leaf physical attributes was ve-rified. Thus, the followed hypothesis were tested: (1) leaves showing low rates of sclerophyllia have higher percentage of herbivory because the sclerophyllia provides a physical barrier to insects and herbivores and, (2) apical leaves are preferred by insects because of their higher content of water. One hundred leaves were collected from 5 plants, 50 from apex and 50 from branch base, totaling 100 samples. The percen-tage of leaf herbivory in E. sulcata was 12.16%. Api-cal leaves were more attacked by insect herbivores than base leaves. There was a significant correlation between the variables herbivory and leaf physical at-tributes. The results suggest that the apical leaves and base leaves had characteristics of mature leaves.
