Caterpillar-parasitoid food webs and biological control in two extensive crops
Original language description
Food webs offer a useful approach to the study of complex communities interacting across trophic levels, potentially linking community structure and ecosystem services such as biological control. Herbivore-parasitoid food webs are relevant for agricultural production, in terms of pests and their control. However, food webs in extensive agricultural systems have barely been addressed. Here, we compare caterpillar parasitoid food webs in a perennial (alfalfa) and an annual (soybean) crop in Central Argentina, by analyzing their diversity, food web structure and parasitism rates using four years of data. Caterpillar parasitoid communities in extensive agricultural systems have barely been addressed in a food web context. We found the same eleven defoliating Lepidoptera species in both crops, with similar annual richness values. However, alfalfa sustained larger caterpillar populations and richer parasitoid assemblages than soybean, even when only summer data (when both crops coexisted) were considered.
