(Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), which is strictly monophagous on meadow sage. The reaction of adult beetles to olfactory and contact host cues was tested using three bioassays (locomotion compensator, six-chamber-olfactometer, stem arena') to account for different behavioral contexts. Bioassay-guided fractionation of plant extracts was elaborated to characterize the nature of contact stimuli. The beetles were only slightly attracted to odors from small amounts of leaf material. However, when contact cues were provided additionally, the beetles showed strong preferences for samples of their host plant over controls. Bioassay-guided fractionation led to isolation of at least two non-polar contact stimuli acting in concert that are sufficient for host plant identification in C. canaliculata.

T1 - Host plant finding in the specialised leaf beetle Cassida canaliculata: an analysis of small-scale movement behaviour N2 - 1. Host plant finding in walking herbivorous beetles is still poorly understood. Analysis of small-scale movement patterns under semi-natural conditions can be a useful tool to detect behavioural responses towards host plant cues. 2. In this study, the small-scale movement behaviour of the monophagous leaf beetle Cassida canaliculata Laich. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) was studied in a semi-natural arena (r = 1 m). In three different settings, a host (Salvia pratensis L., Lamiales: Lamiaceae), a non-host (Rumex conglomeratus Murr., Caryophyllales: Polygonaceae), or no plant was presented in the centre of the arena. 3. The beetles showed no differences in the absolute movement variables, straightness and mean walking speed, between the three settings. However, the relative movement variables, mean distance to the centre and mean angular deviation from walking straight to the centre, were significantly smaller when a host plant was offered. Likewise, the angular deviation from walking straight to the centre tended to decline with decreasing distance from the centre. Finally, significantly more beetles were found on the host than on the non-host at the end of all the trials. 4. It is concluded that C. canaliculata is able to recognise its host plant from a distance. Whether olfactory or visual cues (or a combination of both) are used to find the host plant remains to be elucidated by further studies.

The three main structural traits of herbaceous vegetation are density, height, and connectivity. This study determined the herbivore response to each of these three parameters by analysing oviposition patterns in the field and studying the underlying mechanisms in laboratory bioassays. The generalist leaf beetle, Galeruca tanaceti L. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), preferentially deposits its egg clutches on non-host plants such as grasses. Earlier studies revealed that oviposition within structurally complex vegetation reduces the risk of egg parasitism. Consequently, leaf beetle females should prefer patches with dense, tall, or connected vegetation for oviposition in order to increase their reproductive success. In the present study, we tested the following three hypotheses on the effect of stem density, height, and connectivity on oviposition: (1) Within habitats, the number of egg clutches in areas with high stem densities is disproportionately higher than in low-density areas. The number of egg clutches on (2) tall stems or (3) in vegetation with high connectivity is higher than expected for a random distribution. In the field, stem density and height were positively correlated with egg clutch presence. Moreover, a disproportionately high presence of egg clutches was determined in patches with high stem densities. Stem height had a positive influence on oviposition, also in a laboratory two-choice bioassay, whereas stem density and connectivity did not affect oviposition preferences in the laboratory. Therefore, stem height and, potentially, density, but not connectivity, seem to trigger oviposition site selection of the herbivore. This study made evident that certain, but not all traits of the vegetation structure can impose a strong influence on oviposition patterns of herbivorous insects. The results were finally compared with data on the movement patterns of the specialised egg parasitoid of the herbivore in comparable types of vegetation structure.

The importance of bottom-up and top-down effects may change with spatial scale. In this study, we investigated the influence of host plant factors and habitat structure on egg distribution in the leaf beetle Cassida canaliculata Laich. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), a monophagous herbivore on Salvia pratensis L. (Lamiales: Lamiaceae), on four spatial scales: individual host plant, microhabitat, macrohabitat, and landscape. At the individual host plant scale we studied the correlation between egg clutch incidence and plant size and quality. On all other scales we analyzed the relationship between the egg clutch incidence of C. canaliculata and host plant percentage cover, host plant density, and the surrounding vegetation structure. Vegetation structure was examined as herbivores might escape egg parasitism by depositing their eggs on sites with vegetation factors unfavorable for host searching parasitoids. The probability that egg clutches of C. canaliculata were present increased with an increasing size, percentage cover, and density of the host plant on three of the four spatial scales: individual host plant, microhabitat, and macrohabitat. There was no correlation between vegetation structure and egg clutch occurrence or parasitism on any spatial scale. A high percentage of egg clutches (38–56%) was parasitized by Foersterella reptans Nees (Hymenoptera: Tetracampidae), the only egg parasitoid, but there was no relationship between egg parasitism and the spatial distribution of egg clutches of C. canaliculata on any of the spatial scales investigated. However, we also discuss results from a further study, which revealed top-down effects on the larval stage. N2 - Die Gelegeverteilung herbivorer Insekten kann sowohl durch bottom-up (Wirtspflanzen) und top-down Faktoren (Parasitoide und Prdatoren), als auch durch weitere Habitatparameter beeinflusst werden. Die Bedeutung der bottom-up und top-down Einflüsse kann zusätzlich von der räumlichen Skala abhängen. In dieser Studie untersuchen wir den Einfluss von Wirtspflanzenfaktoren und der Vegetationsstruktur auf die Gelegeverteilung des Blattkäfers Cassida canaliculata Laich. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), einem auf Salvia pratensis L. (Lamiales: Lamiaceae) monophagen Herbivoren, auf vier räumlichen Skalen: dem Wirtspflanzenindividuum, Mikro- und Makrohabitat, sowie der Landschaft. Auf der Skala des Wirtspflanzenindividuums wurde der Zusammenhang zwischen der Gelegeinzidenz und der Größe und Qualität der Wirtspflanze untersucht. Auf allen anderen Skalen wurde die Korrelation zwischen der Gelegeinzidenz von C. canaliculata und der prozentualen Wirtspflanzendeckung und Wirtspflanzendichte, sowie der umgebenden Vegetationsstruktur analysiert. Die Vegetationsstruktur wurde untersucht, da die Herbivoren ihren Eiparasitoiden entkommen knönten, indem sie ihre Eigelege an Plätzen ablegen, deren Vegetationsstrukturparameter den Eiparasitoiden die Suche erschweren. Die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass Eigelege von C. canaliculata vorhanden waren, nahm mit zunehmender Größe, prozentualer Deckung und Dichte der Wirtspflanze auf drei der vier untersuchten Skalen zu: Wirtspflanzenindividuum, Mikrohabitat und Makrohabitat. Die Vegetationsstruktur stand jedoch auf keiner räumlichen Skala in einem Zusammenhang mit der Gelegeinzidenz bzw. der Parasitierung der Eigelege. Ein hoher Anteil der Eigelege (38-56%) war durch den einzigen Eiparasitoiden Foersterella reptans Nees (Hymenoptera: Tetracampidae) parasitiert. Es konnte jedoch auf keiner der untersuchten räumlichen Skalen eine Korrelation zwischen der Parasitierung und der räumlichen Gelegeverteilung von C. canaliculata gefunden werden. Wir diskutieren aber auch Ergebnisse einer weiterführenden Studie, in der sich top-down Effekte auf das Larvalstadium zeigten.

N2 - 1. Oviposition site selection is crucial for the reproductive success of herbivorous insects. According to the preference–performance hypothesis, females should oviposit on host plants that enhance the performance of their offspring. More specifically, the plant vigour hypothesis predicts that females should prefer large and vigorously growing host plants for oviposition and that larvae should perform best on these plants. 2. The present study examined whether females of the monophagous leaf beetle Cassida canaliculata Laich. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) prefer to oviposit on large host plant individuals of the meadow clary and whether large host plants are of higher nutritional quality than small host plants. Subsequently, it was tested whether the female preference correlates with offspring performance and survival. 3. In the field, females preferred large host plant individuals for oviposition and host plant quality, i.e. leaf nitrogen content, was significantly higher in leaves of large than of small host plants. 4. In the laboratory, larval development time was shorter on leaves of large host plant individuals than on small host plant individuals, but this could not be shown in the field. 5. However, a predator-exclusion experiment in the field resulted in a higher survival of larvae on large host plants than on small host plants when all predators had free access to the plants. On caged host plants there was no difference in survival of larvae between plant size categories. 6. It is concluded that females of C. canaliculata select oviposition sites that enhance both performance and survival of their offspring, which meets the predictions of the plant vigour hypothesis.

Depending on their trophic level, species may be differently affected by these factors. However, studies investigating more than one trophic level on a landscape scale are still rare. In the present study we analyzed the effects of habitat size, isolation, and quality for the occurrence and population density of the endangered leaf beetle Cassida canaliculata Laich. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) and its egg parasitoid, the hymenopteran wasp Foersterella reptans Nees (Hymenoptera: Tetracampidae). C. canaliculata is strictly monophagous on meadow sage (Salvia pratensis), while F. reptans can also parasitize other hosts. Both size and isolation of habitat patches strongly determined the occurrence of the beetle. However, population density increased to a much greater extent with increasing host plant density ( = habitat quality) than with habitat size. The occurrence probability of the egg parasitoid increased with increasing population density of C. canaliculata. In conclusion, although maintaining large, well-connected patches with high host plant density is surely the major conservation goal for the specialized herbivore C. canaliculata, also small patches with high host plant densities can support viable populations and should thus be conserved. The less specialized parasitoid F. reptans is more likely to be found on patches with high beetle density, while patch size and isolation seem to be less important.

T1 - Choosing and using diversity indices: insights for ecological applications from the German Biodiversity Exploratories JF - Ecology and Evolution N2 - Biodiversity, a multidimensional property of natural systems, is difficult to quantify partly because of the multitude of indices proposed for this purpose. Indices aim to describe general properties of communities that allow us to compare different regions, taxa, and trophic levels. Therefore, they are of fundamental importance for environmental monitoring and conservation, although there is no consensus about which indices are more appropriate and informative. We tested several common diversity indices in a range of simple to complex statistical analyses in order to determine whether some were better suited for certain analyses than others. We used data collected around the focal plant Plantago lanceolata on 60 temperate grassland plots embedded in an agricultural landscape to explore relationships between the common diversity indices of species richness (S), Shannon's diversity (H'), Simpson's diversity (D-1), Simpson's dominance (D-2), Simpson's evenness (E), and Berger-Parker dominance (BP). We calculated each of these indices for herbaceous plants, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, aboveground arthropods, belowground insect larvae, and P.lanceolata molecular and chemical diversity. Including these trait-based measures of diversity allowed us to test whether or not they behaved similarly to the better studied species diversity. We used path analysis to determine whether compound indices detected more relationships between diversities of different organisms and traits than more basic indices. In the path models, more paths were significant when using H', even though all models except that with E were equally reliable. This demonstrates that while common diversity indices may appear interchangeable in simple analyses, when considering complex interactions, the choice of index can profoundly alter the interpretation of results. Data mining in order to identify the index producing the most significant results should be avoided, but simultaneously considering analyses using multiple indices can provide greater insight into the interactions in a system.

JF - PlOS ONE N2 - Plant diversity is known to affect success of host location by pest insects, but its effect on olfactory orientation of non-pest insect species has hardly been addressed. First, we tested in laboratory experiments the hypothesis that non-host plants, which increase odour complexity in habitats, affect the host location ability of herbivores and parasitoids. Furthermore, we recorded field data of plant diversity in addition to herbivore and parasitoid abundance at 77 grassland sites in three different regions in Germany in order to elucidate whether our laboratory results reflect the field situation. As a model system we used the herb Plantago lanceolata, the herbivorous weevil Mecinus pascuorum, and its larval parasitoid Mesopolobus incultus. The laboratory bioassays revealed that both the herbivorous weevil and its larval parasitoid can locate their host plant and host via olfactory cues even in the presence of non-host odour. In a newly established two-circle olfactometer, the weevils capability to detect host plant odour was not affected by odours from non-host plants. However, addition of non-host plant odours to host plant odour enhanced the weevils foraging activity. The parasitoid was attracted by a combination of host plant and host volatiles in both the absence and presence of non-host plant volatiles in a Y-tube olfactometer. In dual choice tests the parasitoid preferred the blend of host plant and host volatiles over its combination with non-host plant volatiles. In the field, no indication was found that high plant diversity disturbs host (plant) location by the weevil and its parasitoid. In contrast, plant diversity was positively correlated with weevil abundance, whereas parasitoid abundance was independent of plant diversity. Therefore, we conclude that weevils and parasitoids showed the sensory capacity to successfully cope with complex vegetation odours when searching for hosts.

A1 - Meiners, T. T1 - Enemies in low places - insects avoid winter mortality and egg parasitism by modulating oviposition height N2 - Oviposition site selection in insects is essential in terms of low egg mortality, high offspring survival and therefore a high reproductive output. Although oviposition height could be a crucial factor for the fitness of overwintering eggs, it has rarely been investigated. In this study the oviposition height of a polyphagous leaf beetle, Galeruca tanaceti Linnaeus in different habitats and at different times of the season was examined and its effect on egg clutch mortality was recorded. The leaf beetle occurs as an occasional pest on several agricultural plants. It deposits its eggs within herbaceous vegetation in autumn. Eggs are exposed to numerous biotic and abiotic mortality factors summarized as egg parasitism and winter mortality. Oviposition height of the leaf beetle was not uniform, but changed significantly with the structure of the habitat and during the season. Mean oviposition height per site (70.2±4.9 cm) was significantly higher than mean vegetation height (28.4±2.4 cm). Height of plants with egg clutches attached and oviposition height were significantly positively correlated. The results suggest that females try to oviposit as high as possible in the vegetation and on the plants selected. In accordance with this, the probability of egg parasitism and of winter egg clutch mortality significantly declined with increasing oviposition height. A preference of G. tanaceti for oviposition sites high up in the vegetation might therefore have evolved due to selection pressures by parasitoids and winter mortality.

The mechanisms, however, that allow so many species to coexist continuously, still need to be unraveled. Earlier equilibrium models explain community organization with a strict niche separation and specialization of the single species, achieved mainly by interspecific competition and consecutive resource partitioning. Recent non-equilibrium or stochastic models see stochastic factors ("intermediate disturbances") as more important. Such systems are characterized by broad niche overlaps and an unpredictable species composition. Mechanisms of coexistence are most interesting where species interactions are strongest and species packing is highest. This is the case within a functional group or guild where species use similar resources. In this project a community of seven closely related leaf beetle species (Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae) was investigated which coexist on a common host plant system (fam. Convovulaceae) in a tropical moist savanna (Ivory Coast, Comoé-Nationalpark). A broad overlap in the seasonal phenology of the leaf beetle species stood in contrast to a distinct spatial niche differentiation. The beetle community could be separated in a savanna-group (host plant: Ipomoea) and in a river side group (host plant: Merremia). According to a correspondence analysis the five species at the river side, using a common host plant, Merremia hederacea, proved to be predictable in their species composition. They showed a small scale niche differentiation along the light gradient (microhabitats). Laboratory studies confirmed differences in the tolerance towards high temperatures (up to 50°C in the field). Physiological trade-offs between phenology, microclimate and food quality seem best to describe patterns of resource use of the beetle species. Further a phylogeny based on mt-DNA sequencing of the beetle community was compared to its ecological resource use and the evolution of host plant use was reconstructed N2 - Tropische Regenwälder und Korallenriffe werden gewöhnlich als die Zentren von Komplexität und Diversität betrachtet. Die Mechanismen hingegen, die so vielen Arten die Koexistenz erlauben, sind noch weitgehend unbekannt. Herkömmliche Gleichgewichtsmodelle erklären die Organisation von Gemeinschaften mit einer strengen Nischentrennung und Spezialisierung der einzelnen Arten, welche hauptsächlich durch interspezifische Konkurrenz und nachfolgende Ressourcenaufteilung zustande kommt. Neue Nichtgleichgewichts- oder stochastische Modelle sehen stochastische Faktoren ("mittlere Störungen") als wichtiger an. Solche Systeme sind durch breiten Nischenüberlappungen und eine unvorhersehbare Artenzusammensetzung charakterisiert. Mechanismen der Koexistenz sind dort am interessantesten, wo Arten-Interaktionen am stärksten und "Artenpackung" am höchsten ist. Dies ist innerhalb einer funktionalen Gruppe oder Gilde der Fall, wo Arten ähnliche Ressourcen nutzen. In diesem Projekt wurde eine Gemeinschaft von sieben eng verwandten Blattkäfern untersucht (Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae), welche auf einem gemeinsamen Wirtspflanzensystem (Fam. Convolulaceae) in einer tropischen Feuchtsavanne koexistieren (Elfenbeinküste, Comoé-Nationalpark). Einer breiten Überlappung in der jahreszeitlichen Phänologie der Blattkäferarten stand eine ausgeprägte räumliche Nischendifferenzierung gegenüber. Die Käfergemeinschaft konnte in eine Savannengruppe (Wirtspflanze: Ipomoea) und in eine Flußufergruppe (Wirtspflanze: Merremia) aufgeteilt werden. Die fünf Arten am Flußufer, welche eine gemeinsame Wirtspflanzenart, Merremia hederacea, nutzten, erwiesen sich in einer Korrespondenzanalyse in ihrer Artenzusammensetzung als vorhersagbar und nach dem Beschattungsgrad (Mikrohabitat) als kleinräumig eingenischt. Laborstudien bestätigten Unterschiede in der Toleranz gegenüber hohen Temperaturen (Temperaturmaxima im Freiland bis zu 50°C). Physiologische Trade-offs zwischen Phänologie, Mikroklima und Nahrungsqualität scheinen die Ressourcennutzungsmuster der Arten im Freiland am Besten zu beschreiben. Weiterhin wurde eine Phylogenie der Käfergemeinschaft aufgrund von mtDNA-Sequenzierung mit ihrer ökologischen Ressourcennutzung verglichen und die Evolution der Wirtspflanzennutzung rekonstruiert.
