    Low beta diversity of herbivorous insects in tropical forests

  • Original language description

    Our study of approximately 500 species from three herbivorous guilds feeding on foliage (caterpillars, Lepidoptera), wood (ambrosia beetles, Coleoptera) and fruit (fruitflies, Diptera) found a low rate of change in species composition (beta diversity) across 75,000 square kilometres of contiguous lowland rainforest in Papua New Guinea, as most species were widely distributed. Similar patterns of low beta diversity can be expected in other tropical lowland rainforests, as they are typically situated in the extensive low basins of major tropical rivers similar to the Sepik?Ramu region of New Guinea studied here.

    Nízká beta diverzita herbivorního hmyzu v tropických lesích

  • Czech description

    Naše studie 500 herbivorního druhů hmyzu ze tří skupin (housenky, kůrovci a vrtule) zjistila jenom malé změny v druhovém složení hmyzích společenstev v tropických lesích na vzdálenostech stovek až jednoho tisíce kilometrů. Tento výsledek, zjistěný v lesích Nové Guineje, je možno předpokládat i v dalších tropických lesích v povodích velkých řek, například Konga či Amazonky.
