Abundance of herbivores on Moringa oleifera in 2015 in Dano, Burkina Faso

Moringa oleifera is a multi purpose tree rich in vitamins and can serve as valuable nutrition source for the local population in West-Africa. Furthermore, leaves are being dried and processed to powder which is sold at local markets. The seeds can be eaten fresh or used for oil extraction. This study investigated the herbivores on Moringa oleifera, feeding on leaves and fruits.

Supplemental Information
Data are based on countdata (abundance of herbivores of a particuluar herbivore guild). numbers given are relative abundance data in percentage. Systematic observations of herbivores were made at an interval of 9 days on 20 trees during the rainy season. At all three times of the day, the damage by herbivores was minor and rare. In total 2,482 potential herbivores belonging to 68 different morphospecies were registered. Of all individuals only 2.05% among these consisting of 12 morphospecies were actively observed when damaging the tree. The main herbivore was a butterfly-caterpillar, which was seen actively eating 29 times during a total of 1,524 observations.
