  • Published:
Contemporary Problems of Ecology Aims and scope

Abstract

This review covers the history of invasion of the lime leafminer in Europe and the European part of Russia; it observes forage plants, leafminer entomophaga, and features of its development cycle. Biocenotic mechanisms and ecological consequences of invasion are analyzed.
