Preferencia alimentaria de Neochetina eichhorniae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) en plantas acuáticas de diferente valor nutritivo

Abstract

Neochetina eichhorniae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) es un herbívoro asociado a los camalotales de Eichhornia crassipes y E. azurea de áreas nativas. Los objetivos de este trabajo fueron: (1) evaluar la preferencia alimentaria de los adultos de N. eichhorniae bajo condiciones naturales, utilizando especies de macrófitas nativas que coexisten con las dos plantas huéspedes y (2) analizar la preferencia alimentaria en relación con el contenido de nitrógeno, fósforo y lignina, como indicadores del valor nutritivo de las hojas. Las especies de plantas estudiadas fueron: E. crassipes, E. azurea, Oxycaryum cubense, Thalia multiflora, Salvinia biloba, Pistia stratiotes, Ludwigia peploides y Nymphaea prolifera. Se realizaron pruebas de preferencia de opción doble y múltiple, utilizando raciones de las macrófitas, en presencia y ausencia de las plantas huéspedes. Se cuantificó, respectivamente, el área total dañada por macrófita y por curculiónido y se correlacionó con el valor nutritivo de las hojas. Las plantas huéspedes, cuya superficie dañada varió entre 115 y 284,76 mm2, fueron las especies preferidas. La superficie dañada tuvo correlación positiva con el contenido de nitrógeno de las hojas de las distintas especies de plantas. El contenido de fósforo, lignina y el cociente L: N no tuvieron relación con la preferencia. Neochetina eichhorniae tuvo especificidad por ambas plantas huéspedes, cuyas hojas tuvieron alto contenido de nitrógeno. Estos resultados constituyen una contribución preliminar debido a que todavía es poco conocido el efecto del valor nutritivo de las macrófitas sobre la preferencia alimentaria de los invertebrados herbívoros en los sistemas acuáticos subtropicales.

Neochetina eichhorniae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is one herbivore associated to Eichhornia crassipes and E. azurea floating meadows in native areas. The aims of this study were: (1) to evaluate the feeding preference of adults of N. eichhorniae under natural conditions, using native species of macrophytes that coexist with the two host plants, and (2) to assess feeding preference in relation to nitrogen, phosphorous and lignin content as indicators of the nutritive value of the leaves. The plant species included in this study were: E. crassipes, E. azurea, Oxycaryum cubense, Thalia multiflora, Salvinia biloba, Pistia stratiotes, Ludwigia peploides and Nymphaea prolifera. Double and multiple-feeding choice tests were performed under natural conditions, using feeding rations, including and excluding the host plants. Total damaged area per macrophyte and leaf area damaged by weevil were quantified and correlated with the different nutritional values of leaves. The host plants, with damage area varied between 115 and 284.76 mm2 , were the most preferred plants. There was a positive correlation between the damage area and the leaf nitrogen content of the plant species. Feeding preference was unrelated to either phosphorous and lignin content or L: N ratio. Neochetina eichhorniae have high specificity for both host plants, which leaves had high nitrogen content. Because the effect of the nutritive value on the feeding preference of invertebrate herbivores from the subtropical aquatic systems remain still unknown, these results are an preliminary contribution
