POPULATION ECOLOGY Host Pubescence and the Behavior and Performance of the Butterfly Papilio Troilus (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae)
We found that leaf pubescence in Sassafras albidum (Nuttall) Nees negatively inßuences the growth and survivorship of a lepidopteran herbivore, Papilio troilus (L.). S. albidum leaves varied greatly in pubescence among plants. In laboratory choice experiments, P. troilus larvae preferred to eat and adult females preferred to oviposit on nonpubescent S. albidum leaves. Larvae fed pubescent S. al...
متن کاملMale patrolling modes in Apollo butterfly Parnassius apollo (L.): simulation of optimal choice (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae)
After examining the flight pattern of Parnassius apollo males we have discovered that the patrolling strategy of that species can be divided into two modes – random flights exhibited when females were abundant and there was limited time for flight (bad weather conditions), and scanning flights when the population was sparse and favourable climatic conditions allowed undisrupted flight. Accordin...
متن کاملFate of Ingested Aristolactams from Aristolochia chilensis in Battus polydamas archidamas (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae)
We performed a sequestration study of aristolactams (ALs) from Aristolochia chilensis in Battus polydamas archidamas (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae) by examining the AL content of the plant, fifth instar larvae, osmeterial secretion, pupae, exuviae and feces. Aristolactam-I (AL-I) and aristolactam-II (AL-II) present in A. chilensis are sequestered by fifth instar larvae of B. polydamas archidamas. ...
متن کاملNew host-plant records for the defoliator Ormiscodes amphimone (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae).
Ormiscodes amphimone (Fabricius) is a phytophagous moth species known to severely defoliate woody species in Chile and Argentina. Here we document new records of O. amphimonehost associations emphasizing the role of Nothofagus pumilio as its primary host in our study area. This new record for Argentina is highly significant given the economic importance of N. pumilio as a timber resource and th...
متن کاملMegalorhipida leucodactyla (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Pterophoridae): first distribution record from Chile and new host plant record.
The presence of Megalorhipida leucodactyla (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Pterophoridae) in Chile is reported for the first time from the Azapa valley, northern Chile. In this locality, some immature stages of M. leucodactyla were found to be associated with Tessaria absinthioides (Hook. & Arn.) DC., Asteraceae, a new host plant record at the species, genus and family level for M. leucodactyla.
