Vertical stratification and effect of petiole and dry leaf size on arthropod feeding guilds in Cecropia pachystachya(Urticaceae)

Abstract: This study aimed to test for vertical stratification and the effects of dry leaf size on herbivore and predator arthropods and petiole length on insect borers in Cecropia pachystachya. The leaves were sampled in three strata: attached to the plant, suspended on the vegetation and on the ground. We detected vertical stratification only in the guild of predator arthropods associated with dry leaves, with lower richness and abundance in the attached stratum. In addition, larger leaves positively affected the inse… Show more

“…However, open and closed areas can present different patterns in the presence and ant defense (Carneiro et al 2018). Cecropia pachystchya can also present a diverse and large number of occasional visitors (Novais et al 2015), but its main defoliators is Coelomera lanio (Dalman, 1823) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) (Silveira et al 2002) that also oviposit on it.…”
