Preferencias alimentarias de Araneus uniformis (Araneae: Araneidae) y Jessica erythrostoma (Araneae: Anyphaenidae) en condiciones de laboratorio

Abstract

The spiders Araneus uniformis (Araneidae) and Jessica erythrostoma (Anyphaenidae) are two of the most abundant species in the foliage of Citrus sinensis fields. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the functions of those spiders in the biological control of the most frequent insect pests of those fields; to that end, the alimentary preferences of A. uniformis and J. erythrostoma were analyzed in laboratory conditions. The most common insects in the C. sinensis field were collected to be used as prey, belonging to the orders Diptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, Coleoptera and Orthoptera. A medium-sized cage, covered by a thin plastic mesh, with a young orange plant inside for shelter. To analyze the results, the Manly’s α preference index was used, proposed for a variable prey population. According to Manly’s index, A. uniformis has an alimentary preference for Cicadellidae (Hemiptera), with α=48.7%, followed by Tephritidae (Diptera) and Apidae (Hymenoptera) with α=29% and α =15% respectably. Orthoptera (α=4.7%) and Coleoptera (α=2.7%) were less commonly selected. Diptera, whose average was α=48.7%, followed by Hemiptera (Cicadellidae) (α=26.7%) and by Coleoptera (α=18.7%), were the orders most commonly selected by Jessica erythrostoma. Orthoptera (Acrididae) were rarely chosen, with α=6%, and no Hymenoptera (Apidae) were selected at all. Key words: Araneae, Araneidae, food preferences, laboratory conditions, Citrus, spiders in crops, natural regulators.

Las arañas Araneus uniformis (Araneidae) y Jessica erythrostoma (Anyphaenidae) son dos de las especies más abundantes en el follaje de cultivos de Citrus sinensis. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar la función de dichas arañas en el control biológico de los insectos plagas más frecuentes en estos cultivos; a ese fin, se analizaron las preferencias alimentarias de A. Uniformis y J. Erythrostoma en condiciones de laboratorio. Se utilizaron como presa los insectos más numerosos recolectados en la plantación de C. Sinensis, de los órdenes Diptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, Coleoptera y Orthoptera. Se utilizó una jaula mediana, cubierta por una malla fina de plástico, que albergaba un refugio consistente en una planta joven de naranjo. Para el análisis de los resultados se utilizó el índice de preferencia α de Manly, propuesto para una población variable de presas. Según el índice de Manly, A. Uniformis tiene una preferencia alimentaria por Cicadellidae (Hemiptera), con un valor α=48,7%, seguidos por Tephritidae (Diptera) y Apidae (Hymenoptera), con α=29% y α=15%, respectivamente. Orthoptera (α=4,7%) y Coleoptera (α=2,7%) fueron poco seleccionados. Jessica erythrostoma demostró una preferencia alimentaria por Diptera (Tephritidae), cuyo promedio alcanzo un 48,7%, seguidos de Hemiptera (Cicadellidae) (α=26,7%) y Coleoptera (α=18,7%). Los Orthoptera (Acrididae) fueron poco elegidos (α=6%), mientras que ningún Hymenoptera (Apidae) fue seleccionado.
