“…Some recorded species are known to be highly specific to certain plants, as Gynaikothrips uzeli Zimmermann, which feeds on leaves of ornamental figs [ 52 ], and Microcephalothrips abdominalis (Crawford DL), known as the ‘composite thrips’ due to its preference for Asteraceae [ 53 ]. Predatory species of thrips in the genera Karnyothrips , Scolothrips and Stomatothrips , are common on grasses and herbaceous plants, where they feed on mites and other thrips [ 54 , 55 ], whereas Androthrips ramachandrai Karny is known as a predator of Gynaikothrips spp. [ 56 ].…”

The capture efficiency of six colored sticky traps (blue, green, orange, purple, white, and yellow) was tested in mango agroecosystems of Mexico with the purpose to: (i) document the diversity of Thysanoptera; (ii) determine the attraction of phytophagous thrips; (iii) assess the impact of these traps on beneficial insects; and (iv) assess the relationship between the density of Frankliniella thrips captured on traps and those found in the inflorescences. The use of colored sticky traps has revealed a great diversity of thrips and beneficial insects in the mango agroecosystem. A total of 16,441 thrips were caught on sticky traps throughout the sampling period, of which 16,251 (98.8%) were thrips adults and 190 (1.2%) larvae. Forty one species of thrips were collected either from sticky traps or from inflorescences. Of these, 32 species feed either on leaves or flowers. Frankliniella cephalica, F. gardeniae and F. invasor, were the most abundant species. Scirtothrips citri and S. manihoti were also captured among other phytophagous thrips. The white trap captured significantly more Frankliniella species and also had the smallest capture of beneficial insects. Yellow traps were the most attractive for Scirtothrips species, with low detrimental effects on insect pollinators, although high impact on natural enemies. Thrips species captured on sticky traps showed a low and non-significantly correlation with respect to the density of thrips in mango inflorescences. Although sticky traps did not predict the density of Frankliniella populations in mango inflorescences, the study represents a substantial progress in the use of color traps in mango agroecosystems. Colored sticky traps would be a good option for monitoring mango thrips to detect them at earlier stages of infestation to implement management tactics and avoid the building-up of thrips populations.

“…Research on arthropods has focused mainly on some megadiverse insect orders (Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, and Diptera) (Morón‐Ríos & Morón, ; Chamé‐Vázquez et al ., ; Hérnandez‐Ortíz & Dzul‐Cauich, ; Valenzuela‐González et al ., ). Only recently, other groups such as thrips (Thysanoptera, Goldarazena et al ., ) and spiders (Araneae, Ibarra‐Núñez et al ., ; Maya‐Morales et al ., ; Méndez‐Castro & Rao, ; Campuzano et al ., ) have been considered. Spiders are ranked among the most diverse animal groups on earth, with 200 000 estimated species (Agnarsson et al ., ).…”

Diversity and seasonal variation of ground and understory spiders from a tropical mountain cloud forest

et al. 2019

We made intensive samplings to study the seasonal response of spiders across different forest strata (ground and understory) in a tropical mountain cloud forest from Mexico. We sampled spiders from ten plots in six sampling events during the dry and rainy season, to analyze their abundance, structure (distribution of abundance among species), diversity and the response of the five dominant species at each stratum. Results demonstrated that seasonal patterns of spider communities differed among strata, revealing a complex spatiotemporal dynamic. Abundance, structure, diversity of ground spiders, as well as the responses of four dominant species at this stratum, showed low seasonal variations. In contrast, a strong seasonal variation was observed for the understory assemblage, with lowest abundance and highest diversity in the rainy season, and different assemblage structures for each season. Seasonal patterns of each assemblage seem linked to the responses of their dominant species. We found high co-occurrence among most of the ground dominant species with similar habitat use and with multivoltine patterns, contrasting with low co-occurrence among most of the understory dominant species with similar habitat use and univoltine patterns. Our results showed that the spiders' assemblages of tropical mountain cloud forest (opposed to what is found in temperate and boreal forests) increase their species richness with the height, and that their responses to seasonal change differ between strata. Management programs of these habitats should consider the spatial and temporal variations found here, as a better understanding of their ecological dynamics is required to support their sustainable management.
