Abstract

Estimates of leaf damage by insect herbivores are presented for 25 species of mangrove plants, comprising canopy and understory species. Leaf area loss was highly variable among the species sampled, with means ranging from 0.3 to 35.0% of expanded leaf area. There was also great variability amongst leaves within species, and the mean coefficient of variation for leaf loss from the 25 species was 266%.
