¿Influye la concentración de ácido carmínico en la preferencia alimentaria de Hyperaspis trifurcata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) entre dos especies de presas?

Abstract: El ácido carmínico es una sustancia que probablemente funciona como protección ante la depredación. Su concentración difiere entre Dactylopius coccus y D. opuntiae. Entonces, planteamos la hipótesis de que un depredador específico, el coccinélido Hyperaspis trifurcata, tendría una preferencia alimentaria por la especie con menor concentración de ácido carmínico. Para comprobar esta hipótesis se realizaron pruebas de elección con ambas especies en condiciones de laboratorio (25 ± 2 °C, 50 ± 20 % HR, y 12:12 h L… Show more

“…Larvae feed mainly on D. opuntiae and other Dactylopius spp. with low concentrations of carminic acid (Vanegas‐Rico et al., 2016; Trejo‐Reyes et al., 2021), with a preference for first instars over other developmental stages (Salas‐Monzón et al., 2020). In contrast, H. trifurcata adults feed on all developmental stages of D. opuntiae (Vanegas‐Rico et al., 2016), which can represent up to 70% of the total food they require to complete their life cycle and produce offspring with high fecundity, fertility, and longevity (Vanegas‐Rico et al., 2016).…”

“…Both larvae and adults of the specialist H. trifurcata (Vanegas‐Rico et al., 2016) have been associated with D. opuntiae in the field and occasionally feed on commercially established colonies of D. coccus (Aldama‐Aguilera et al., 2005). This apparent preference for D. opuntiae over D. coccus could be due to the difference in carminic acid concentrations present in the two species of prey (Trejo‐Reyes et al., 2021). However, larvae of L. coccidivora are one of the most voracious generalist predators of both D. opuntiae and D. coccus , suggesting that they are not affected by the difference in carminic acid concentration (Vanegas‐Rico et al., 2010); as a result, they can cause considerable losses in the commercial production of D. coccus (Aldama‐Aguilera et al., 2005).…”
