- We examined plant used versus plant availability by a thysanopteran community on 13 woody and perennial native plants in the Chihuahua Desert. Individual plants were sampled with sticky-traps on 8 dates from May 1997 to August 1998. We sampled 5,040 adult thrips from 26 species in 19 genera, of which 16 could be identified to species. Four families were represented, Thripidae (17 species comprised 98.2 % of the collected specimens), Phlaeothripidae (5 species comprised 1.6%), Aeolothripidae (2 species comprised 0.1%) and Heterothripidae (1 species comprised 0.1%). A total of 16 species (84.2%) were phytophagous on flowers and leaves, 2 (10.5%) were predators, one (5.2%) was mycophagous. Feeding habits for 7 species are unknown. Thrips abundance was positively correlated with plant volume, but not with insect richness. Strikingly for a natural area, Frankliniella occidentalis accounted for 73.6% of the total collection of the sampled thrips, which together with Chirothrips falsus, Microcephalothrips abdominalis, Frankliniella gossypiana, and Neohydatothrips signifier, comprised 94.0% of the total number of collected thrips. Main abundances, considering all thrips species, occurred in fall and spring; no thrips were collected during winter. This seasonal pattern of occurrence was observed for the most abundant thrips species. In summary, the results of this study were: 1) few thrips species were found to be specialists; only 2 thrips species out of 12 studied, showed strong preference for host plants, 2) presence of a high percentage of positive associations, and a low percentage of negative associations, 3) the role of plant volume explained more than 80% of variance of thrips abundance. These results suggest that the studied thrips community has low plant specificity and the pattern of plant use observed could be the consequence of generalist feeding diets.
Examinamos el uso de plantas versus la disponibilidad de plantas de una comunidad de Thysanoptera sobre 13 plantas nativas (leñosas y perennes) en el desierto de Chihuahua. Se muestrearon plantas individuales con trampas pegajosas en 8 fechas desde de mayo de 1997 hasta agosto de 1998. Se obtuvieron 5.040 trips adultos pertenecientes a 26 especies en 19 géneros, de los cuales 16 se pudo identificar hasta especie. Cuatro familias están representadas, Thripidae (17 especies que representaron el 98,2% de los especímenes recolectados), Phlaeothripidae (5 especies que constituyeron 1,6%), Aeolothripidae (2 especies que constituyeron el 0,1%) y Heterothripidae (1 especie que correspondió al 0,1%). Un total de 16 especies (84,2%) fueron fitófagos (en flores y hojas), 2 (10,5%) fueron depredadores, uno (5,2%) fue micófago. De 7 especies se desconocen sus hábitos alimentarios. La abundancia de trips se correlacionó positivamente con el volumen de las plantas, no así con la riqueza. Sorprendentemente para un área natural, Frankliniella occidentalis representó el 73,6% de la recolección total de los trips, que junto con Chirothrips falsus, Microcephalothrips abdominalis, Frankliniella gossypiana, y Neohydatothrips signifer, representaron 94,0% del total recogido. La mayor abundancia de trips se produjo en otoño y primavera, y no se recolectaron trips en el invierno. Este patrón estacional de ocurrencia se observó para las especies de trips más abundante. En resumen, los resultados de este estudio fueron: 1) presencia de pocas especies de trips fueron especialistas, sólo dos especies de trips de los 12, mostraron una clara preferencia por sus plantas hospedantes, 2) presencia de un alto porcentaje de asociaciones positivas, y un bajo porcentaje de asociaciones negativas, 3) el rol del volumen de plantas que explica más del 80% de la varianza de la abundancia de trips. Estos resultados sugieren que la comunidad trips estudiado tiene una baja especificidad y el patrón de utilización de las plantas es consecuencia de una dieta alimentaria generalista.
