TLDR
In this article, the number of phytophagous insects living on Nothofagus was estimated in 125 species and a total of 34 species were reported as pests, and the importance that the infestation to different parts of the plant, would have in tree performance was indicated.Abstract:
Nematodes and insects have been the only zoophytophagous groups that have been reported in the literature living on Nothofagus in Chile. According to the area covered by Nothofagus and the type of plant that it represents, (apparent) the number of phytophagous insects living on this genus was estimated in 125. A total of 34 phytophagous species were reported as pests. The importance that the infestation to different parts of the plant, would have in tree performance is indicated. The close relationship of sap suckers fauna living on Nothofagus in Australia, New Zealand and Chile is reported. Two genero and two species of phytophagous nematodes is indicated.read more

HOST-PLANT CHEMICALS AND DISTRIBUTION OF Neuquenaphis ON Nothofagus
Andrés Quiroz,Eduardo Fuentes-Contreras,Claudio C. Ramírez,Graeme B. Russell,Hermann M. Niemeyer +4 more
TL;DR: A major component identified from EM and volatiles of three species of Nothofagus, α-agarofuran, was attractive to alates of the oligophagous Neuquenaphis sensoriata, which use them as hosts.
