“…We are unaware of any other study specifically reporting the distribution of mining species along elevational MacGarvin et al. The adults are generally hostspecific and females are very selective in their oviposition sites (Hering 1951, Miller 1973, Whitfield et al 1985. , Cumbrera 1998) and are of particular interest because they are often abundant and can affect growth and reproduction of both native and cultivated host plants (Hering 195 1, Louda 1984).…”

We investigated the distribution patterns of leaf mining insects along an elevational gradient in cerrado vegetation of southeastern Brazil. We tested four hypotheses related to the distribution of mining insects: (1) the “altitudinal gradient hypothesis,” which predicts that mining insect species richness will decrease with altitude or elevation; (2) the “habitat‐mediated richness hypothesis,” which predicts that mining insect species richness will be higher in mesic habitats than in xeric habitats; (3) the “plant species richness hypothesis,” which predicts that mining insect species richness will be positively correlated with plant species richness; and (4) the “plant architecture hypothesis,” which predicts a positive correlation between mining insect species richness and plant structural complexity. A total of 33,000 herbs, 3520 shrubs, and 1760 trees were sampled at 44 sites across an elevational gradient of 700 m. Mining insect species richness and plant species richness showed a negative correlation with elevation in xeric habitats, while in mesic habitats mining insect species and plant species richness did not show any statistically significant relationship with elevation. The differential distribution of mining insect species between xeric and mesic habitats supported the habitat‐mediated richness hypothesis, which states that miners would be more speciose in mesic, more favorable habitats. Mining species richness also increased with increasing plant structural complexity. The results suggest that the mining habit may not represent a strong adaptive strategy in protecting mining insects against desiccation. RESUMEN Nós investigamos os padrões de distribuição de insetos minadores ao longo de um gradiente altiudinal no cerrado, no sudeste do Brasil. Testamos quatro hipóteses relacionadas a distribuição de insetos minadores: (1) a “hipótese do gradiente altitudinal” que prediz que a riqueza de espécies de minadores aumenta com o decréscimo da altitude; (2) a “hipótese da riqueza mediada pelo habitat” que prediz que a riqueza de espécies de minadores deve ser maior em habitats mesicos que em habitats xéricos; (3) a “hipótese da riqueza de espécies de plantas” que prediz que a riqueza de espécies de minas deve ser positivamente correlacionada com a riqueza de espécies de plantas; e (4) a “hipótese da arquitetura da planta” que prediz uma correlação positiva entre riqueza de espécies de minas e complexidade estrutural das plantas. Foram amostradas 33,000 ervas, 3520 arbustos, e 1760 árvores, em 44 sitios ao longo de um gradiente de 700 m: A riqueza de espécies de minadores e de plantas apresentou uma correlação negativa com a altitude em habitats xéricos. Entretanto, em habitats mésicos as espécies de minadores e a riqueza de espécies de plantas não apresentaram nenhuma relação estatisticamente significativa com a altitude. A distribuição diferencial de espécies de minadores entre habitats xéricos e mésicos corroborou a hipótese da riqueza mediada pelo habitat, segundo a qual a riqueza de minas deve...

“…Adults of endophagous insects such as leaf miners choose their larval feeding site by choosing oviposition sites (Hering 1951, Miller 1973, Whitfield et al 1985. Selective pressures should result in females ovipositing in leaves which promote increased larval development and survival (Mitchell 1975, Wiren & Larsson 1984, Larsson et al 1986; but see Chew 1977, Wolfson 1982.…”

“…The effect of a patchy distribution also concerns phytophagous mites (Zahner and Baumgaertner, 1984), adult and immature whiteflies in, for example, tomato (Kim et al, 2001;Park et al, 2011b), eggs and consequently root-inhabiting maggots and pupae of cabbage root flies in cabbage fields (Bligaard, 1999;Finch et al, 1978Finch et al, , 1975, the carrot fly (Jens, 1983), eggs and onion maggots infesting the roots of seedlings and later the swollen plant part sitting on the soil (Whitfield et al, 1985) and larvae of P. xylostella that consume different types of Brassica vegetables (Chua and Lim, 1979). Automating the sampling or detection of patchily distributed pests or plants infested by them would be a desirable option to obtain sufficient numbers of observations with less time and labour.…”

Pest monitoring in horticulture is developing technologically to reduce time and labor needed for sampling and to produce more accurate pest predictions. New ways of detecting pests based on selective e-traps, e-noses, cameras and acoustic signatures are already in use or emerging. Remote sensing of pests requires the development of new economic injury levels and economic thresholds (ET). The relative importance of mechanistic and statistical models is changing due to AI-technologies and Big Data. The use of Big Data will force researchers to collect, use and value data differently than before. The incorporation of natural enemies in ETs will take place gradually and require researchers to acquire modeling skills. Research for advancing monitoring and forecasting also must include the socioeconomic factors that determine whether new technologies will be implemented by farmers. Developing trustworthy sampling plans and forecasting models,, and validating and implementing them in collaboration with stakeholders, remains important.
