Colonising aliens: caterpillars (Lepidoptera) feeding on Piper aduncum and P-umbellatum in rainforests of Papua New Guinea.

Original language description

Caterpillar assemblages feeding on two alien plants, Piper aduncum and P. umbellatum, were studied in lowland rainforest in Papua New Guinea and compared with assemblages from 69 species of native woody hosts, including congeneric P. macropiper. Speciesrichness of caterpillars feeding on P. aduncum (29 species per 1500 m(2) of foliage) and P. umbellatum (36 species) was higher than the median richness for the 69 native hosts (23 species). The probability that a caterpillar species colonised alien Piperincreased with its host range from 3% for the species feeding on a single plant family to 92% for the species with host range >10 plant families. The assemblage on P. aduncum was dominated by a single species (Herpetogramma sp. near licarsisalis, Crambidae), which represented 48% duals, and also had a high proportion (34%) of rare species, collected as single individuals. This community structure was indistinguishable from that of a typical native host. In contrast, the P. umbellatum as
